212-517-7900 Chin Augmentation
Throughout history, a strong, balanced profile has been prized in both genders. However, many men and women have poorly-defined chins that do not project properly. Chin augmentation improves the symmetry of facial features, restoring a harmonious look. Dr. Ariel Ostad brings skill, experience, and artistry to every non-surgical chin augmentation procedure at his New York practice.
Importance of proportion
Non-surgical chin augmentation downplays those characteristics for a more youthful, refined look. This procedure can be a good choice for a man or woman with a:
- Chin that is noticeably square or pointed
- Prominent nose
- Recessed chin
- Thick neck
YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO GO UNDER THE KNIFE
At one time, your only choice was a chin implant procedure, placing a silicone implant below the lower arch of teeth. Dr. Ostad offers a chin implant option that does not involve cutting, sutures, or the recovery time of a surgical procedure. Instead, he utilizes FDA-approved injectable dermal fillers to supplement size, and reshape the chin beautifully. Benefits of non-surgical chin augmentation:
- A more comfortable procedure. Fillers are infused with lidocaine, and topical numbing is an option
- Quick—you can have a new chin in 15 minutes
- None of the risks of surgery – infection, scarring, or shifting of the implant (requiring a follow-up surgery)
- Little or no downtime. You may return to work or other activities right away
- Instant results. You see your newly-structured profile – with increased volume and projection – immediately
- Low risk of side effects. While there can be some redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites, it is mild and resolves naturally within a few days
- Cost-effective, at about one-third the price of surgical chin augmentation
- Not permanent. While patients are typically thrilled with results, Dr. Ostad uses hyaluronic (HA) fillers for an outcome that is reversible
- Long-lasting. Non-surgical chin augmentation can last up to two years before retreatment is needed to maintain results
