Chin Implants in Plano, TX

Facial implants are commonly used by board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Vu Ho, at his practice, Beyond Beautiful, in Plano, TX. Dr. Ho and his professionally-trained staff use implants for chin augmentation surgery. Chin implants create a more defined chin and help to restore and create improved facial balance. Chin implant surgery can help provide a more visually balanced and aesthetically pleasing result for men and women of all ages. With a variety of chin implant sizes, shapes, and materials to choose from, Dr. Ho and the patient will work together to choose the most appropriate implant to meet a patient’s aesthetic goals.

A personalized chin augmentation performed by Dr. Ho can remake and enhance your look with a number of great benefits, like:

• Balances facial features
• Improves the profile
• Defines the jawline
• Strengthens a weak, or small chin
• Reduces the prominence of jowls and a double chin
• Results are permanent
• Scarring is very minimal and hidden
• Results can be dramatic

The best candidates for chin augmentation surgery:

• Have a weak (too short) chin
• Have a weak chin due to genetics or trauma
• Have a nose that appears too large
• Desire a more proportionate look with greater facial harmony
• Desire a more distinctive profile

A patient will be under general anesthesia during chin surgery, and this outpatient procedure will be performed at an accredited surgical facility. The plastic surgeon will make a small incision either inside of the mouth or under the chin. An implant, which is made of biocompatible, medical-grade materials, will be placed carefully into the incision. After the implant is placed, the incision will be stitched up. If the incision was made in the mouth, a patient will experience no visible scarring. For incisions under the chin, the scar will be carefully hidden to avoid detection. The entire surgery takes around 1 hour to complete.

Right after chin augmentation surgery, a dressing will be applied to the chin where it should remain for 3 – 4 days. Patients can expect some pain, tenderness, and swelling. Also, patients can experience a tight, stretched sensation following surgery. These symptoms usually go away in about 1 week. After the swelling subsides in a few weeks, patients will be able to see the results of their surgery. The implant will look and feel like normal bone. More importantly, the implant will have the consistency of a patient’s natural tissue to make it appear more natural. 

Dr. Ho and our entire staff are completely dedicated to prioritizing your comfort and satisfaction during this cosmetic procedure. We now offer the PRO-NOX system to ensure your comfort if you cannot use or choose not to use traditional anesthetics.

With the PRO-NOX™ Nitrous Oxide Delivery System, you can control anxiety or pain during any medical procedure. Much like what you might receive from your dentist for pain, this vapor blend allows you, the patient, to choose the strength of the nitrous oxide and oxygen flow. Never worry again about sedation of local anesthesia.

Are chin implants safe?

Chin implants are considered safe when placed by a board-certified professional like Dr. Ho. Our implants are made of biocompatible, medical-grade materials that have been tested and proven to provide long-lasting results. Our team also takes special precautions to ensure your safety during surgery and throughout post-operative care.

How long do chin implants last?

Chin augmentation at Beyond Beautiful should last a lifetime when properly cared for. Patients should follow all instructions as provided by our team to ensure the longevity of their outcomes. Remember that even if the implant does not need to be replaced, patients may still want to receive cosmetic touch-ups due to natural aging and tissue changes.

Do results from chin augmentation look natural?

Our Plano, TX team is dedicated to providing natural-looking results. Dr. Ho carefully evaluates each patient before surgery to determine the most appropriate implant for their body frame and facial structure. We also offer a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials to choose from so you can have a personalized look.

A weak chin not only makes your profile look weak, but can also make your nose appear to be large and disproportionate. While some patients think they need a nose job, they may only need chin augmentation surgery to achieve full facial harmony and symmetry.
