Chin & Neck Contouring
Define and enhance your profile, unveiling a remarkable symphony of grace and charm. Your facial profile transcends the ordinary and embraces the extraordinary.
If your chin is weak or positioned too far back, it can create an unbalanced facial profile. On the other hand, if your chin is too strong or positioned too far forward, it may give an unnatural and overly masculine appearance. Dr. Stephenson specializes in chin surgery, also known as genioplasty, to help clients in Atlanta achieve greater harmony between their facial features.
Natural Chin Contouring
Chin surgery aims to achieve a natural and visually pleasing profile. For women, the ideal chin position is at or slightly behind a line that connects the upper and lower lip. In men, the ideal position is at or just beyond this line. The aesthetically perfect chin position for women is determined by a line that touches the upper and lower lips, as well as the tip of the chin. By undergoing chin surgery, you can attain the ideal chin position that enhances your facial features and helps you feel more confident.
When it comes to chin surgery, there are two options to change the position of the chin: moving one’s own bone or using an artificial implant. In the field of plastic surgery, it is generally recommended to use a patient’s own tissue whenever possible. Fortunately, in the case of chin surgery, it is almost always feasible to utilize a patient’s own tissue. This allows the surgeon to permanently adjust the chin in three different directions, resulting in a more natural and long-lasting outcome.
Dr. Stephenson, an experienced plastic surgeon, prioritizes the use of a patient’s own tissue in chin procedures for his clients. This approach ensures a safer and more reliable outcome. Rest assured that by choosing this method, you are in good hands and can look forward to achieving the results you desire.
Chin implants
On the other hand, are not the preferred method for changing the chin position due to the potential risks associated with them, such as implant infection, malposition, and exposure over time. By opting for procedures that involve manipulating one’s own bone, these risks can be significantly reduced or even eliminated altogether.
