Who Needs/Candidates
The ideal candidate is anyone with good physical and mental health. Because one or more incisions are always involved, being free of any interfering skin condition or infection is also important. You may not be fit to undergo surgery if you have an active allergy, infection, or a skin condition such as psoriasis.
Besides these, other criteria include:
- Being free of any smoking or alcohol addiction
- Having a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle
- Having sufficient skin elasticity to tolerate the procedure
- Being free of any bleeding disorders or other similar problems
Results to Expect
Your initial results after the session will not look as drastic as you expected. The swelling and internal inflammation due to the intensive treatment can cause the chin to appear bigger than it actually is. You should wait a few weeks before assessing the final outcomes. However, the excess bone will be removed within just one session. Some of the highlight outcomes of a chin reduction surgery in Rawalpindi/Islamabad include:
- A more contoured and shaped chin
- A smaller chin that complements the overall geometry of your face
- Significant reduction in the protruding or asymmetrical appearance
- Permanent results that don’t require follow-up sessions
In some rare cases, the chin may be too large, or the bone structure may be more complicated. You may have to undergo multiple sessions in such a case. However, Chin reduction surgery in Rawalpindi and Islamabad is highly advanced and capable of treating all types of complex chin profiles.
Treatment Goals
A chin reduction surgery is used to treat stubborn cases of chin overgrowth or asymmetries that can’t be treated with other techniques. When the excess chin is the result of skeletal overgrowth, there is little someone can do on their own. This is where chin reduction fills in the gap by delivering a permanent fix. One of the reasons patients undergo Chin Reduction in Rawalpindi/Islamabad is because they have a condition known as Macrogenia. Individuals with Macrogenia have an exceptional chin profile that is out of proportion and overly prominent. Other reasons include wanting a more feminine or masculine facial profile or other similar cosmetic purposes.
Preparation/Pre-Op Care
Before undergoing your Chin reduction in Rawalpindi or Islamabad, make sure to avoid:
- All blood-thinning medications such as Warfarin
- All foods and supplements with a blood-thinning effect
- getting sunburned or irritating the skin with a harsh treatment
- receiving any other skin treatment such as Botox for at least two weeks before surgery
- Aspiring, Ibuprofen and other similar analgesics for at least two weeks
Treatment Steps
Chin reduction is an intensive surgery that can take between 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. Most cases are fixed with just one session alone. However, some cases can require a lot of skeletal areas to be removed and therefore require two or more sessions. Here is what a typical Chin reduction surgery in Rawalpindi/Islamabad encompasses:
- The overall geometry and size of your face are evaluated so the most suitable chin changes can be determined.
- Your surgeon will take into consideration the overall facial profile but also your personal preferences to decide how much bone should be removed.
- Anesthesia is then administered to minimize any sensation and discomfort during the process.
- Either local or general anesthesia may be used depending on individual preferences and the depth of changes needed.
- Typically, only one tiny incision is made, but more may be required depending on your unique chin profile.
- The incisions are then closed and bandaged with the help of dissolvable sutures.
Recovery/Post-Op Care
Engaging in a healthy post-operative routine and following the instructions provided by your surgeon will be essential in a quick healing process. After your surgery, you will be required to avoid:
- touching the incisions or picking at the forming scabs
- vigorously rubbing, pressing, or irritating the treated area
- any mild or intense sports activity for at least three and six weeks, respectively
- Hard foods that require a lot of chewing
- using any painkillers without consulting your surgeon
You should also make sure that you keep the incisions clean and dry, so there is no risk of infection or prolonged healing process. Using chin support is also essential in relieving pressure from the jaw and the chin to minimize any discomfort.
Benefits Expected
After your chin reduction, you can experience a more balanced and proportionate facial profile that allows you to be more comfortable with your appearance. One of the reasons a chin reduction is highly sought after is the permanent results and quick fix it provides. Once the excess bone is removed, there is little chance for regrowth. Besides this, the treatment is highly targeted, so each patient is able to control their outcomes and have freedom over how much and what type of changes they receive.
