Treatment Process

Chin implant surgery is typically performed under local or general anaesthesia and takes about 1 hour. It includes:

Facial proportions are assessed, and implant options are discussed.

Local or general anaesthesia ensures a comfortable, pain-free procedure.

A small incision is made either inside the lower lip or under the chin. The implant is inserted and secured.

The incision is sutured, and a compression dressing may be applied to reduce swelling.
