Chin Correction Surgery in Adelaide

Chin Correction procedures offered at our Adelaide, South Australia Clinic

Dr Hamilton has over 30 years experience in chin correction surgeries.

Chin correction surgery with chin implants can alter your facial contours by enlarging the chin to achieve a more proportionate, stronger shape to improve the balance and proportions of your face.

Computer Imaging Using the Vector 3D Program

Dr Richard Hamilton uses the Vectra 3D program to undertake a clinical assessment and create a highly accurate computerised digital map of your facial features in order to ascertain the best possible outcomes for your chin surgery. This is used during your initial consultation to show you what possible changes can be achieved by capturing an image of your own face. Dr Hamilton can make alterations to your image on screen to illustrate to you the direction the surgery may take. Whilst this does not exactly replicate your procedure, it provides a helpful guide to assist you to communicate the changes you expect and for Dr Hamilton to indicate the changes he thinks are achievable and realistic.

Under Dr. Hamilton’s guidance you will receive clear and comprehensive advice, ensuring you’re able to trust in both his skills as surgeon and his compassion as a highly qualified and respected medical practitioner.

Chin Correction Procedures

Some patients, both men and women, are born with a small chin. This can create an imbalance, making the nose look relatively large.

Dr Hamilton uses Computer 3D Vectra Imaging which can help show you the effect of a chin enhancement procedure. A chin implant procedure (sometimes called a mentoplasty or genioplasty) can restore the chin and the aesthetic balance of the face, especially the profile view. For less dramatic results fat grafting or even fillers may be employed.

The Chin Implant Procedure

Dr Richard Hamilton performs chin correction procedures at his Adelaide South Australia practice under either IV sedation or local anaesthesia. A concealed incision is placed inside mouth (lower lip) and a shaped silicone implant of the predetermined size is inserted and secured. The wound is closed in several layers.

Recovery After Chin Correction

There is very little pain associated with the procedure and our chin correction patients generally require only mild analgesics to alleviate discomfort. Chin correction patients usually are on a liquid diet for 48 hours, after which initial recovery is achieved. Patients usually take 1-2 weeks off work, during which time a special shaping garment may be worn to ensure the expected outcome. Chin correction performed by our plastic surgeon Dr Hamilton can provide significant results to improve the shape and contours of the face and chin.
