Trust Your Face to a Specialist Modern Rhinoplasty

We often have patients from Orange County, Irvine, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills who present to us wanting to make their nose smaller. Occasionally, we find that the problem is not that the nose is too large, but rather their chin is too small, which can be easily corrected with a chin augmentation ( chin implants). From others, we are told that their neck is too fleshy and they want neck liposuction. As we are in Hollywood, we are also often seen by models and actors who need a stronger presence on film and in photographs. No matter, which of these is your reason for chin augmentation or a chin implant, the end result should be a balanced relationship within the structure of your face.

Profiles Facility

Here at Beverly Hills PROFILES, we utilize only board certified anesthesiologists for all our surgeries. We have found that many of our patients comfortably tolerate chin implants surgery under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. While you will be awake during surgery, you will be insensitive to pain and relaxed. However, the extent of your procedure and your preference can also help to determine the type of anesthesia used.

Your Profiles Beverly Hills chin implant surgery typically takes forty-five minutes to an hour to complete. A small incision is made inside of your mouth or occasionally on the skin beneath your chin area. The proper size and shape implant is then selected to best enhance your appearance, and often a few different sizes are tried in order to best replicate the goal you are seeking to achieve. The chin implant is customized to you and then inserted into the pocket over the front of the jawbone and the incision is closed.

The chin is commonly taped after surgery to keep swelling and discomfort at a minimum. Most of our patients describe feeling tight the night of surgery but rarely is pain an issue. You will be provided with pain medications should you need them both during the first night and if ever necessary, for the days that follow.

We will call and check on you that first night after surgery, and as with all our patients we will see you in the office the day following surgery to go over the surgery and check on you. Your progress will be closely followed during the first week or two, and you will be given a list of activities and environments that should be avoided in the weeks after surgery. In order to minimize post operative discomfort we utilize self-absorbing stitches that dissolve on their own.

Because we care about your immediate comfort and long term results, we schedule all of your follow-up appointments when you schedule your surgery. And we are so committed to your long term results and happiness that we will do our best to follow your postoperative course even years after your surgery.
