Chin Implant and Rhinoplasty

before

after

Very early 12-day post-operative result of a young man who underwent reconstructive rhinoplasty and chin augmentation. As can be seen, especially on his lateral views, a large dorsal, bony and cartilaginous hump was removed, excessive nostril show was reduced and a cartilage tip graft was placed to help prevent over-rotation of the tip. In addition, the full nasolabil angle was reduced and brought back to allow for a more pleasing lip/nose junction. An extended medium-sized pre-jowl implant was placed through an external approach to allow for a very subtle but more contoured jawline. "Worm's-eye" base view demonstrates a more symmetric tip and nostril appearance. The external columella scar which was utilized for this open approach is barely visible even at 12 days. Some residual swelling and echymosis (black and blue) can still be seen around his eyes in these early post-operative views, but should resolve shortly.

Chin Implant and Neck Liposuction

before

after

Nine-day post-operative result demonstrating a patient with a congenitally weak/recessed chin. As demonstrated on the lateral pictures, the patient was also exhibiting early signs of aging/jowl formation along her jaw line. For this reason, augmentation mentoplasty/chin augmention was performed with an extended mandibular contouring chin implant that also added projection to the area right in front of the jowls to diminish the appearance of the jowls while simultaneously adding projection to the chin. As noted on the frontal shots, her face appears more balanced with smoother skin along the chin and jaw line. Liposuction also assisted in allowing for a longer, more youthful jaw line/submental plateau.

Chin, Facelift and Eyelid Rejuvenation

before

after

Four month postop result of cheek and neck lift, chin augmentation, and upper and lower eyelid tightening. All incisional scars well hidden in natural skin creases. The patient now appears more youthful and balanced. Note that fat bulge under the chin is now removed with better neck contour. Additional refinements are possible, if the patient desires, with attention to skin care utilizing either chemical peels, laser abrasions and/or Gentlewave LED Photomodulation.

Young patient who underwent multiple procedures to improve the appearance of his smile, lips and recessed chin. Surgery allowed for reduction in the amount of gum show with a lowering of the upper lip. Reduction in size of both upper and lower lips. Chin implant also placed for better profile.

Chin Augmentation & Neck Liposuction, Rhinoplasty,
Cheek Buccal Fat Extraction

before

after

Patient desired more masculine and prominent jaw line with accentuation of cheeks with slight hollowing of mid face. A small pad of fat was taken from inside the mouth to decrease fullness in the lower cheek while simultaneously increasing definition of upper cheek highlights. Chin implant and neck liposuction also performed to allow for better jaw contouring and facial balance.

Patient underwent neck liposuction and placement of small chin implant. Very minimal swelling seen at four days after surgery. Often referred to as "weekend neck lift," since recovery time is usually very quick.

Neck Lift

before

Six month post-op result of neck liposuction and placement of small customized chin implant. All work done through small incision under chin and 1/4 inch incisions behind ears. Facelift will be required in the future to correct mildly sagging jowels and cheeks.
