Chin augmentation surgery

Don’t worry if your chin is not good-looking. You can use some methods to adjust your chin so that it looks the way you want. Chin augmentation can be done through surgical methods, which is also called micro-plastic surgery. Just pay attention to the materials used for chin augmentation, because good materials can make the augmented chin look more real. The main reason is that facial expressions are too rich. Using good chin augmentation materials will not affect facial expressions. So what should we pay attention to during chin augmentation surgery?

1. Materials for Chin Augmentation Surgery

1. Silicone prosthesis Silicone prosthesis is a common chin pad material, suitable for a variety of filling plastic surgeries including chin plastic surgery. The manufacturing technology of silicone prosthesis is already very advanced. Silicone prosthesis used for chin plastic surgery is non-toxic and harmless, and is not highly rejected by the human body, so it can be used to pad the chin. Silicone prosthesis fixed by special techniques is not prone to infection or displacement. The material itself is easy to carve and shape, the internal micropores are conducive to the growth of fibrovascular tissue, and can be fixed to the bone surface with titanium nails.

2. The autologous cartilage in the chin augmentation material generally comes from the rib cartilage, and the size of the cartilage here is suitable for chin augmentation surgery. The advantage of autologous cartilage is that it is the body's own tissue, has high affinity, no rejection, and good fixation after transplantation. However, autologous cartilage chin augmentation also has disadvantages, that is, the shape of the chin requires fine symmetry, but the cartilage is relatively brittle and difficult to shape; and some people back off when they hear that the rib cartilage must be taken from the body.

2. Preoperative precautions for chin augmentation surgery

1. The applicant should be in good health, without organic lesions of important organs, such as heart disease, hepatitis, nephritis, pneumonia, etc.

2. No sources of oral infection, such as caries, periodontitis, oral ulcers, etc.

3. Women should avoid surgery during the menstrual period.

4. Routine blood and urine tests, chest X-rays, electrocardiograms and other routine health checks should also be performed before surgery.

5. Routinely take frontal and lateral facial photographs for postoperative comparison and efficacy assessment. If conditions permit, a three-dimensional head CT scan can be performed. Take a maxillary X-ray to understand the degree of development of the maxillary sinus. In some cases, a facial mold should be taken to accurately measure the amount of bone that needs to be removed.

6. Rinse your mouth with compound borax solution 3 days before the operation and perform oral cleaning if necessary. If the incision is external, use 1:1000 Sanisol foam.

7. Stop smoking before surgery. Aspirin, birth control pills, and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can increase bleeding, so these drugs should be stopped some time before surgery.
