Chin Implant FAQs
1. Who will chin augmentation benefit?
Both men and women with a weak or receding chin who would like a stronger, more defined jaw line would benefit from chin implant surgery with Transform.
2. How is chin implant surgery done?
A shaped silicone implant is inserted under the chin to give improved definition of the jaw line.
3. Who will perform the surgery?
When you choose Transform for your chin implant surgery, you can be assured that your surgery will be carried out by Surgeons selected for their cosmetic surgery skill and knowledge.
We regularly review our Surgeons patient satisfaction rate and outcomes to ensure you always get the results you want.
4. Where will my procedure take place?
Your chin implant will be carried out in one of our regulated cosmetic surgery hospitals which are centres of clinical excellence and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
Most cosmetic surgery providers do not own their own hospitals but with Transform you are in our care every step of the way.
5. Will I have to stay in hospital?
You may only need a local anaesthetic. This means you will be awake but the area is numbed. In this case, you will be able to return home the same day.
Ultimately, the Anaesthetist and your Surgeon will decide if you need a local or general anaesthetic.
6. What results can I expect from this type of surgery?
You can expect a stronger or more defined jaw line.
7. Can I combine this surgery with other procedures?
A chin implant can also provide symmetry with other facial features and is sometimes performed alongside a rhinoplasty or cheek implants.
8. Will I need to take time off from work?
Soreness and swelling is normal for around 2 weeks after surgery and it is usually recommended that you take between 1 – 2 weeks off from work after your surgery.
9. Will I receive aftercare?
You will be cared for before and after cosmetic surgery. Aftercare is included in the cost of your procedure. You’ll have a post-operative appointment with a clinic nurse and a review with your chin implant Surgeon. They will discuss your chin implant aftercare, ensure everything is healing well and make sure you’re happy with the results.
If you have any questions or concerns after your procedure, you can also talk to our resident medical officer at any time on the 24/7 Transform Patient Helpline.
