Is chin augmentation permanent?
Surgical chin implants provide permanent results, while dermal fillers last 6-12 months.
Will there be visible scars?
For surgical augmentation, incisions are placed inside the mouth or under the chin, leaving minimal visible scarring.
How long is the recovery period?
For surgery, recovery takes about 1-2 weeks. Non-surgical fillers require little to no downtime.
Is chin augmentation painful?
Mild discomfort is expected post-surgery, which can be managed with pain medication. Fillers cause minimal pain with mild swelling.
