Chin Augmentation at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi — Enhance Your Facial Profile
Chin augmentation (genioplasty or chin implant surgery) at Elyzee Hospital is designed to improve facial balance, refine the jawline, and strengthen the profile. Whether achieved with an implant or by repositioning the chin bone, this procedure provides long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement tailored to each patient’s facial proportions and aesthetic goals.
Benefits of Chin Augmentation
- Improved facial balance: A well-proportioned chin harmonizes the relationship between the nose, lips, and jawline.
- Enhanced profile: Corrects a weak or receding chin, producing a stronger, more defined side profile.
- Sharper jawline: Improves jawline definition and complements other facial procedures such as rhinoplasty or neck liposuction.
- Boosted self-confidence: Many patients experience improved self-image and greater confidence after the procedure.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates are healthy adults with a recessed or under-projected chin, realistic expectations, and stable overall health. A personalized assessment at Elyzee Hospital evaluates dental occlusion, facial proportions, skin quality, and any prior surgeries to determine the best technique.
Consultation and Pre-Operative Planning
During your consultation, the plastic surgeon at Elyzee Hospital will:
- Review your medical history and assess facial anatomy.
- Discuss the pros and cons of implants vs genioplasty (bone advancement).
- Use clinical photos and measurements — and where available, 3D imaging — to plan optimal chin projection.
- Provide pre-op instructions such as stopping blood-thinning medications and smoking cessation if applicable.
Techniques — What Happens During the Procedure
Chin augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Common techniques include:
1. Chin Implants
- Incision: The surgeon makes a discreet incision either inside the mouth (intraoral) or beneath the chin (submental).
- Pocket creation: A pocket is created in front of the chin bone.
- Implant placement: A pre-shaped, biocompatible implant (silicone or other approved materials) is positioned and secured.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures; a drain is rarely required but may be used in specific cases.
2. Genioplasty (Chin Bone Advancement)
- Osteotomy: The surgeon makes a controlled bone cut and advances the chin segment forward.
- Fixation: The repositioned bone is secured with plates and screws for stability.
- This technique is ideal when skeletal repositioning is necessary for functional or structural reasons.
After the Procedure & Recovery
- Expect swelling and mild bruising for several days to weeks; cold compresses and head elevation reduce swelling.
- Pain medication and antibiotics are prescribed as needed.
- Diet: Soft foods for the first few days may be recommended, especially after intraoral incisions or bone surgery.
- Activity: Avoid strenuous activity and contact sports for several weeks; follow your surgeon’s guidance on returning to routine tasks.
- Follow-up: Attend scheduled visits for suture removal and monitoring of healing and implant position.
Final Results
As swelling resolves over weeks to months, the chin’s projection and jawline definition become more apparent. Final aesthetic outcomes are usually stable and long-lasting when performed by experienced surgeons at Elyzee Hospital. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations and any need for minor revisions.
Risks & Considerations
Risks include infection, bleeding, implant malposition, numbness, asymmetry, or need for revision. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon and following pre- and post-operative care instructions reduces risks significantly.
