A chin implant can reshape your chin, make it more prominent, or enhance the shape and balance of your face. However, before you have a chin implant fitted in London you might want to find out exactly what will be put in place.

What Is A Chin Implant?

A chin implant is a small, carefully sculpted structure that can be inserted into your chin through a tiny incision. Like other surgical implants used in London, it is filled with silicone. Silicone implants have been used for cosmetic surgery for many decades, so they are a very safe and reliable treatment.&nbsp;&nbsp;The biggest difference between chin implants and other types of chin augmentation is that the implant is permanent. Unlike dermal filler or fat injections, the implant will remain in place, enhancing your appearance, for as long as you choose to keep it. However, if you decide that you want it removed, or in the rare event of a problem with the surgery, you can have it taken out.

Silicone Chin Implants

Although all of the chin implants used at the Symmetry clinic in London are made of the same safe, high quality materials, they aren’t all alike. The silicone implants come in a range of different shapes and sizes. During your initial consultation with the cosmetic surgeon, you will discuss the options and get an idea of what they might look like using 3D digital imaging. It is important to find the right implant for your face so that you can get the results that you want.Once you are happy with your choice, you will be able to arrange the procedure. The selected implant will be inserted through a small incision beneath your chin. It will be carefully positioned under the skin and secured into place with stitches. You’ll be able to see the results immediately, although it will take a little time for your skin to heal and any swelling to go down.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2>Cosmetic Reasons for Rhinoplasty</h2>Reduction <a href="rhinoplasty-london">rhinoplasty</a> can remove cartilage and bone to reduce the size of the nose by:<ul><li>Smoothing out a bump on the bridge of the nose</li><li>Reducing the size of the tip or the nose as a whole</li><li>Narrowing the nose or making it look more balanced</li></ul>Augmentation rhinoplasty is less common in London, but it is popular with patients from certain ethnic backgrounds who have smaller, flatter noses. It involves reshaping the nose, often by adding bone or cartilage taken from elsewhere in the body.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Adding Bone or Cartilage may:</h2><ul><li>Build up the bridge of the nose</li><li>Enhance the tip to create a more balanced appearance</li><li>Increase the width or overall size of the nose</li></ul>Other kinds of rhinoplasty can help to reshape the nose, rather than to alter its size. The nose might be made more symmetrical or the angle between it at the upper lip may be altered.Whatever the reasons for having a cosmetic rhinoplasty, the procedure will always be tailored to each patient’s needs. The aim will usually be to achieve the desired effect in a way that fits and balances with the rest of the face. It is also usually important to preserve the patient's individuality along with their gender and ethnic identity.&nbsp;<h2>Correcting Deviated Noses</h2>Sometimes there are additional reasons for having rhinoplasty. Surgery can help to correct structural issues, including those caused by childhood or sports injuries. The surgery may be able to help with breathing problems or even to prevent snoring by repositioning the bones or cartilage.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in London, but the reasons for having this operation can vary.

A facelift can have a dramatic effect on your appearance, but the full facelift isn’t right for everyone. If all you need is a slight lift in a few parts of your face, a mini facelift at the London clinic might be a better option.

Is the Mini Facelift Right for You?

Although many people have a rhinoplasty for purely cosmetic reasons, your surgeon can also use the opportunity to clear any blockages or to correct a deviated septum.
