What Are The Benefits

Of Chin Augmentation?

There are so many great benefits to chin implants in Orange County. Below, we’ve listed some of the advantages we see on a day-to-day basis in our patients:

  • Oftentimes, our chin implant patients feel that the surgery gives them more self-confidence and that they feel more confident taking photos and in social situations.

  • Chin implants will make your neck appear more youthful and more defined

Who is a Candidate

For Chin Augmentation?

Dr. Sundine is an experienced medical professional who is qualified to determine each patient’s candidacy for a chin implant. In general, patients must be in good health and have realistic expectations. The best candidates are individuals who have an underdeveloped chin that disrupts the facial profile. A patient’s bite or dental occlusion is also closely examined to determine his or her candidacy. Although a chin implant will not affect the patient’s bite, those who have a significant malocclusion may need an additional procedure to correct the bite before receiving a chin implant.

If you are a candidate, Dr. Sundine will then develop a customized treatment plan just for you, which outlines the best style of the chin implant, the ideal size, and the best placement for incisions.

*Chin augmentation is sometimes performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty in Orange County for complete, balanced rejuvenation.

The placement of a chin implant is usually performed under general anesthesia at a fully accredited medical facility. Dr. Sundine can place the chin implant externally through incisions under the chin, or internally through small incisions on the inside of the mouth. External incisions are recommended over incisions on the inside of the mouth to minimize the risk of scar tissue formation or lip dysfunction. Once the incisions are made, a pocket is formed and the implant is placed directly on the chin bone and sewn in place. The implant is firm and essentially undetectable after the healing process. The chin implant can also be removed in case of any complications. However, most patients achieve great results that do not change over time.

Recovery

After chin augmentation surgery, you will stay in a recovery room for one to two hours, after which time you are free to go home. You should arrange transportation as you will be drowsy from anesthesia. For the next few days, you will experience some bruising and swelling, which is normal. It is important to keep the head elevated for at least three to five days – even while you sleep. You may return to work within one week. It is important to note that your chin may feel numb for up to 10 days. Dr. Sundine will provide you with all the necessary post-operative medications and detailed aftercare instructions. He will see you regularly until you are completely healed and happy with your results.

What I really like about Dr. Sundine is his vast experience and training. I also like the fact he did not try to sell me other procedures. He is also very down to earth and easy to talk to. I am very satisfied with the results and I highly recommend him.

After much research and multiple visits to other surgeons, I knew right away that Dr. Sundine was the perfect choice for me. I felt completely confident in his ability from the first visit to the last. I have been singing his praises to all of my friends and will recommend him to anyone searching for a plastic surgeon. Thanks, Dr. Sundine

Dr. Sundine is an excellent plastic surgeon! I have been using his services for almost 5 years. If you want to look years younger and fully refreshed I highly recommend that you use his services. Patients walk out looking naturally gorgeous, not overdone like some of the women in Orange County!

Dr. Sundine is the best plastic surgeon. Dr. Sundine’s excellent skills and knowledge has made my surgery turn out so well. But more importantly, it made me feel better about myself. Again, thank you Dr. Sundine for all you have done for me. You are the best surgeon!

I gave Dr. Sundine the highest possible review in each category because he truly deserved the highest reviews on every level. I am a very well recognized lawyer on the West Coast. My firm has spent millions of dollars on television advertising in which I appear. I could not afford to have a bad facelift or even for people to notice I had a facelift at all. I interviewed many physicians including some of the “celebrity” physicians. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Sundine.
