Chin Augmentation Surgery in Newport, CA

Is Chin Augmentation Safe?

Although every reconstructive surgery carries risks, chin implant surgery is still a safe procedure if the plastic surgeon is experienced. However, like all surgical procedures, there are risks. 

Infection

One of the main risks of chin augmentation is infection. It is a risk that accompanies any surgical procedure because it can develop infection at the incision site, but it can be minimized by proper care through antibiotics.

Bleeding

Bleeding does occur, but usually, it is minimal. Major bleeding, though rare, will occasionally happen. The post-operative instructions of the surgeon should be followed closely to prevent excessive bleeding.

Nerve Damage

One of the complications that may occur with chin augmentation is nerve damage. Although it is rare, it can cause temporary or permanent numbness in the chin or in the lower lip. So, finding an experienced surgeon in facial implants or cosmetic surgery is very important.

Implant Displacement

Another risk is that the implant can shift or rotate and sometimes may require revision. This can be prevented with proper post-operative guidelines from the surgeon and limiting physical activity.

Scarring

Since incisions have to be made inside the mouth or under the chin to minimize scarring, some scarring will still occur. Proper care and advanced surgical techniques can make scarring minimal.

Chin augmentation surgery should be performed by choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with considerable experience in facial plastic surgery. An experienced surgeon will be in an excellent position to evaluate a patient’s needs and devise a treatment tailored to that patient, which should minimize risks and maximize benefits.
