chin implant

Postby miss08 » Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:46 pm

Hi Dr.Lam

I read that you also perform the chin surgery procedure,
I've never heard of the implant that doesn't show or make u detect/feel the chin implant step-off, is this new?

And are u saying that it is possible to get a small chin implant for very very subtle changes without the sharp edges that u could see or touch? and will a very small chin implant change my smile?

Another thing im interested in is non-surgical chin augmentation with permanent fillers.. are these safe and useful in only increasing ur chin by 2-3mm?

for only 2 to 3 mm, fat grafting may work. anything more, a chin implant is advisable o/w you will have a fat looking chin. in general, you should not be able to see a chin implant. to feel it, you might be able to barely feel the edges. in general, really either you will barely feel it if you keep playing around there or you won't at all.
best,
