How long does it take to recover from a chin augmentation surgery? What are the disadvantages of a chin augmentation?

Everyone must have heard of chin augmentation in life, but do you know about this micro plastic surgery? Today, let's learn about it together. How long does it take to recover from chin augmentation surgery? What are the disadvantages of chin augmentation?

Commonly used prostheses for chin padding include expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone and Medpor. The swelling is the most severe three days after the operation, and then it starts to subside, which takes about seven days. After the edema disappears, the outline is roughly visible and you can go out normally. The stitches can be removed ten days after the operation. Some patients may have slight bruises locally due to different bleeding or coagulation mechanisms. It usually takes about three to six months to finalize. The shapes of silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene can be basically fixed in about three months. The artificial bone Medpor changes over time, and the outline will become stronger and stronger, so the final shaping time will be slightly longer.

1. The use of prosthetic chin augmentation is relatively limited to people with severe chin loss, so it is important to know who is suitable and who is not suitable for prosthetic chin augmentation.

2. The shape is fixed for 24 hours after the operation. Remember not to touch the surgical site and keep the wound and mouth clean to avoid infection.

3. If you experience swelling and pain after the operation, you can use ice compress to reduce it. Avoid pressing hard or strenuous exercise for 48 hours to avoid causing pain and discomfort in the surgical site.

4. Autologous fat padding of the chin is a new method in recent years. After autologous fat augmentation of the chin, if the shape is not satisfactory, it is difficult to change. Autologous fat injection into the chin area does not shape it ideally. The fat itself has a certain absorption rate, which varies from person to person. If the absorption is uneven, it will lead to an unsatisfactory chin shape. It is difficult to extract the autologous fat, and the effect of further filling is not ideal in this case.

1. No rejection, your own fat comes from your own body, it is natural and more natural.

2. No bleeding. The plastic surgery uses minimally invasive and precise liposuction technology, which is a gentle operation that will not damage muscles and large blood vessels, so there is no serious bleeding problem.

3. Compatible with the body. This is similar to the first point of no rejection. It is derived from the body and can quickly integrate with the original tissue after surgery. The shaping effect is stable and more natural. It can continue to grow. The implanted cells are highly active and continue to grow after survival. The effect is permanent and there is no need for repeated injections.

What are the ways to pad the chin?

1. Chin padding: Currently, the most common methods include injection chin padding and prosthetic chin padding. The main purpose is to change the facial lines to make them softer and more three-dimensional. Common injection chin padding methods include hyaluronic acid chin padding and autologous fat transplantation injection.

2. There is actually no unified standard for which surgical method is better for patients, and the specific results vary from person to person. Relatively speaking, using hyaluronic acid to pad the chin is a relatively simple and safe method. Hyaluronic acid chin padding also has its irreparable limitations. The basic effect can only last for half a year, and it is not suitable for patients with severe chin retraction. So what should patients with severe chin retraction do? Plastic surgery experts often recommend using osteotomy to pad the chin in this case.

3. It is common to use silicone prosthesis to pad the chin. At present, the relevant technical application of silicone prosthesis is very mature. After a lot of medical verification, the silicone prosthesis materials that meet the standards are non-toxic and safe, with high human acceptance and no strong rejection. The silicone material can be adjusted and carved according to the face shape of the patient, and there will be no skin infection symptoms. It is recommended to use titanium nails to fix it on the bone surface.

4. You can also use autologous cartilage as a chin pad material. Autologous cartilage is generally taken from the rib cartilage. What are the advantages of using autologous cartilage? Because autologous cartilage comes from the human body, the human body has a high degree of acceptance and is not easy to deform. However, this method also has its obvious defects. Because the rib cartilage is difficult to carve and shape, it is not easy for people who pursue perfection and want a fine and symmetrical chin.
