Description
This 29-year-old healthcare professional wanted to rejuvenate and balance the appearance and balance of her lips and face. She had previously tried dermal fillers to add volume to her lips and chin, but wanted to find a longer lasting treatment option. She also wanted to make the upper look shorter and more in balance with her face alongside with adding more contour to her chin.
Our Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated her with an upper lip lift (also called a bullhorn lip lift) and a small chin implant for chin augmentation. The chin implant helps bring forward the patient’s chin in a natural-appearing and permanent way. Our patient is shown 6 months after her upper lip lift and chin implant surgery, and is very pleased with her natural and rejuvenating result. She has a noticeable improvement in her lip and facial balance, and shows excellent healing.
Chin implant surgery is an excellent treatment for help improve facial balance, improve the jawline, and help support the lips in the carefully selected patient. This procedure is commonly performed by itself or in combination with rhinoplasty and neck lift surgery.
