Chin Implants
A chin implant procedure involves safely inserting a pliable, boomerang shaped implant into the chin to help improve its overall shape and appearance. This is often combined with a rhinoplasty, and is performed using a small incision under the chin, such that the scar is hidden in the shadow.

What to expect on the day
Chin are using a anaesthetic, and you can usually go home on the same day.
An incision may be internally (in the natural crease on the underside of the chin) or externally (where the lower lip meets the gum), depending which approach your surgeon decides is the best. This creates a space where the implant can be inserted, and works to complement the natural bone structure.
The implants are made of a soft, yet robust, synthetic that feels similar to the natural tissues of the chin. Each implant is custom made to suit the exact size required, which is designed to follow the natural contouring of the face.
Around 90 minutes. We use a general and you can usually go home on the same day.
Expect about one week off work, longer if your role is physically demanding.
We recommend patients begin gentle movement around two days after surgery. Light activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and carrying out basic daily tasks are encouraged to support circulation and recovery.
Gentle walking is fine within a few days, but strenuous should wait at least six weeks.
Most patients can resume driving two weeks after surgery, provided they feel comfortable.
You can usually shower after two days, avoiding direct pressure or heat on the chin area.
It takes around six weeks for swelling to settle after chin implant surgery in London, with final results visible after three to six months.
Chin implants provide permanent results, though natural ageing will continue to change facial contours.
Chin implants create stronger definition and balance facial proportions, improving side and front profiles.
If you have any doubts. Our team of experts will support and guidance all the way through your treatment journey; using the consultation to determine your suitability and your certainty.
Showering After a Chin Implants
You may be able to shower the next day after having chin implants. However, you will need to keep the face dry for up to 1 week.
Follow Up and Aftercare
As the chin will be sore after the procedure you may need to a diet that consists of soft foods and liquids so as to limit chewing. We will always follow up your surgery after 1 week when dressings are usually removed. Most side effects ( and swelling) will have significantly eased and moving the lower face will be more comfortable. Full recovery may take up to 6 weeks, when more strenuous activities may be resumed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Incisions are made in places where scarring is barely noticeable. Depending on your individual circumstances, the most appropriate approach will be taken whereby an incision will be made internally or externally.
REAL plastic surgery will always carry out an in-depth consultation before any procedure is confirmed. In many cases chin implants are recommended when the natural appearance of the chin is weak or receding, causing discontent for the affected person. We will not go ahead with a procedure unless you are totally sure it is the right solution for you.
It may take up to 4 months before the final result is noticeable. This is the usual amount of time it takes for all swelling and bruising to subside, and for the underlying tissues to respond to the procedure and heal effectively.
