Suitable for people:
Chin augmentation is suitable for people with chin retraction (small chin), short chin and adduction chin.
Operation mode:
The surgical methods are divided into osteotomy, mental traction and mental prosthesis implantation.
Operation process:
Chin prosthesis can improve a person's five senses. Usually, this kind of prosthesis can make the face look more balanced and feel better about its appearance. Chin augmentation surgery can make the chin longer and sharper and improve the face shape. Surgical methods are divided into two methods: bone cutting and chin pulling and chin prosthesis implantation. Among them, the implantation of mental prosthesis is simple and easy to be accepted by patients. The operation should be carried out in the hospital operating room. After the operation, you can go home or stay in hospital for observation according to the situation. 1 ~ 2 days, mainly depending on your health and whether you have other plastic surgery. Surgery generally uses local anesthesia, injecting anesthetic around the chin. This method may take about half an hour to 1 hour. During the operation, the doctor should choose a prosthesis with suitable size and shape to implant in front of the chin. Generally, an incision is made in the mouth along the lower lip, sometimes an external incision is made under the chin, and the prosthesis is placed directly in front of the mandible. Usually the chin should be fixed with adhesive tape after operation to reduce swelling and discomfort. The stitches were removed 5 ~ 7 days after operation.
The method of bone cutting and chin pulling is that the chin and mandible move forward after osteotomy. This method is to make an incision in the oral cavity, cut the mandible horizontally with a saw or chisel, then move the cut mandible forward, fix it with steel wire or small steel plate, suture the wound, and then apply pressure to bandage it with dressing. Because the incision is in the mouth, there is no scar on the appearance.
After chin augmentation surgery
Within a few days after operation, there will be temporary swelling in the operating area. Pay attention to oral hygiene and diet after operation to prevent prosthesis displacement due to improper exercise.
After the operation, your appearance will be obviously improved in a short time, so you should give yourself enough time to adapt to your new image. The patient herself may be surprised, because almost everyone will not find out that she has had surgery, just saying that she is beautiful.
Prosthetic materials commonly used in chin augmentation
At present, the commonly used medical silicone rubber artificial mandible prosthesis is a commonly used tissue substitute material, which is soft, natural in touch, good in biocompatibility and has good biological and physical and chemical properties. The use of prosthetic chin augmentation has a great advantage, that is, in the case of unsatisfactory effect, the prosthesis can be completely taken out for plastic surgery.
