How Long Do Results of Chin Augmentation Last?

The longevity of chin augmentation in Sacramento depends on the procedure that is used, whether it is surgical or non-surgical.

Surgical Chin Augmentation

Chin Implants: Chin implants are made from biocompatible materials such as silicone or polyethylene and are permanent. After the implant has been placed, the patient obtains a permanent increase in the size and prominence of the chin. However, aging or weight loss and gain can change a person’s face and the shape of the facial bones.

Genioplasty: This surgical method entails changing the contour and position of the chin bone. Since it alters the bone structure, the outcome is also more permanent. This procedure can be particularly effective when the patient has functional and esthetic complaints.

Genioplasty is very stable, and the new chin shape does not change over the years, although, like implants, it may be shifted due to aging or weight loss and gain.

Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation

Dermal Fillers: Among the fillers injected to enhance the contour of the chin, some of the common ones are hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite. The life span of such fillers may vary depending on the product type and the human body's metabolic rate. The results of the dermal filler procedures remain good for 12-24 months. Such treatments must be performed repeatedly to sustain the result obtained from the procedure.

Surgical chin augmentation in Sacramento works permanently, whereas non-surgical treatments work temporarily, and their effects are only temporary and require constant treatments. It is always advisable to consult a boardcertified plastic surgeon or a qualified medical practitioner when choosing the best procedure to help one attain and maintain the best chin contour!
