A small chin is commonly termed a weak chin- and that says it all. Studies have determined that a small or weak chin can convey the impression of a weak personality. A strong chin, particularly in a man, is often associated with confidence, strength and leadership.
It is no coincidence that many of Hollywood's most sought after leading men often posses a "square" or strong jawed look with a confident chin. Interestingly, it is not just in men that a weak chin is found less appealing aesthetically. Many women choose to undergo chin augmentation surgery because they find the same shift in appearance to a perception of more confidence and a more balanced facial appearance.
Due to its relative simplicity and safety as a cosmetic surgical procedure and the fact that it produces such visible and confidence building results- the genioplasty cosmetic surgical procedure as become quite popular. There were over 34,000 genioplasty procedures performed in 2007.
A genioplasty or chin augmentation surgery consists of the cosmetic surgeon placing an implant under the skin on the front of the chin area. Most chin implants utilized today are manufactured out of a silicone rubber material. A chin implant surgical procedure can be performed under either local or general anesthesia.
The preference of course is to try and utilize local anesthesia as this is much safer for the patient- the cosmetic surgeon will make the determination on what anesthetic to use based upon the complexity of the procedure. The complexity of a genioplasty procedure will vary depending on the size of the augmentation to be created and whether or not the patient has any other mitigating health factors.
Once successfully placed, a chin implant should become permanent and would only require future removal do to unusual complications. The patient's brain will adapt and incorporate the implant into their body image and in a short time the implant will look normal to them and will no longer feel unusual or new or strange.
As with any medical procedure there is always the possibility of complications. A chin implant can occasionally extrude through the skin and must then be removed. Also, there is a possibility that an implant can become infected and the patient may be treated with antibiotics and the cosmetic surgeon may choose to remove the implant.
Always consult only a licensed medical doctor or similarly licensed medical care facility before undergoing any medical procedure.
