CHIN IMPLANT

This patient had been a previous breast augmentation patient of Dr. Anton’s and wanted to improve the balance of her face. She felt pretty enough but didn’t like the shape of her face. “My brother and I both have round faces genetically.” When she looked in the mirror or looked down, she saw a double chin. Even though she knew she was a pretty girl, she felt self-conscious, especially in photos.

Although she was focused mainly on the shape of her face being too round, after reviewing photos with Dr. Anton she could see that her chin was weak and needed more projection to create the facial balance and definition she desired. Dr. Anton suggested a Chin Implant along with Neck Liposculpsure to improve the balance and overall aesthetic of her face. “I was floored when he recommended a chin implant. I expected to do liposuction under my chin, but when he showed me my profile photos, I could see that my chin receded.” Dr. Anton offered a non-surgical approach with fillers injected into the chin and Kybella to reduce the submental fat, but she did not want a temporary solution. “It was weird at first thinking about a chin implant, but I totally trusted Dr. Anton and knew he was an artist.”

After one week of mild swelling, she was back at work. After two weeks, no one could tell she had any kind of surgery. “I thought a chin implant might feel weird. But I can’t even feel it. It’s just part of me now.” Now, she feels more confident about the way she looks and tells her friends that might not be 100% happy with how they look to not be afraid to schedule a consultation and learn what’s possible. “It can change your life.”
