Chin Augmentation

An appropriately pronounced chin, plays an integral (and actually, almost the most important) part, in the composition of one’s profile.

As we age, the lower jaw ‘shrinks’ and we lose projection and definition of the chin. Subsequently the skin and tissue around the jaw, lacks support and structure leaving the skin lax and sagging.

Bone and tissue degeneration through ageing, however, is not always the sole factor in an underdeveloped chin, and can simply be something you are born with. It is very common amongst both men and women, and Dr Bob Khanna does an excellent job in administering dermal filler to the chin to successfully create either a beautifully feminine, or masculine profile.

Volume can be added to the chin to increase projection, make the chin longer or to balance out any asymmetries. This in turn adds volume to skin that may be sagging or lax, as a result of ageing. Chin augmentations can also come hand in hand with jawline fillers.

Before and After Photos

 

So, what is dermal filler?

Dermal filler is made from a product called Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar that exists in almost all living organisms. Its key role is to absorb water and transport nutrients to the skin, ensuring that the structure and volume is maintained.

 

What can I expect on the day of treatment?

You will be treated by Dr Bob Khanna himself.

On arrival to your appointment, any makeup will be removed and the area will be sanitised. We will apply a topical anaesthetic on to the injection sites, to ensure the treatment is as pain-free as possible.

The product is administered with the use of a cannula, which helps to keep swelling and bruising to a minimum. A little discomfort is not uncommon. However, if you feel particularly sensitive, we are able to administer a local anaesthetic, although in most cases this is not necessary.

The appointment is booked in for around 30 minutes. This allows time for cleansing of the skin, numbing and the treatment itself.

 

How soon, after treatment can I expect to see results?

The beauty of this procedure and product, is that the results take effect immediately. Furthermore, results actually continue to develop over the course of the month, as your own natural collagen is stimulated. The effects are long-lasting, non-permanent and reversible. Due to this, most of our patients will return for a top up, every 6-12 months.

 

What are the risks and side effects?

The majority of reactions post-procedure, are generally minimal and temporary. You should expect a degree of swelling and slight bruising is a possibility. However, these reactions should subside within the week.

 

Aftercare

After treatment, we advise you to avoid touching or rubbing the area to ensure placement of the product is not manipulated, for up to 2 weeks.

Any facial treatments, as well as saunas (or anything involving extreme temperatures) should be avoided for up to 2 weeks.

Here at DrBK, we perform all aesthetic treatments in a 2 step process, so you will be invited to attend a review appointment 3 weeks post-procedure. At this appointment, any adjustments will be made, if necessary.
Full, written, aftercare instructions will be provided on the day of treatment, for you to take home with you.
