Chin surgery is one of the most requested surgical procedures
in the practice of plastic surgery. The chin
defines the face. With its size and shape, it gives the face
identity and elegance. The beautiful shape of the chin is reflected
in its dimensions, in the normal border line, in the
optimal width, in the slender contour. The symmetry of the
parts of the face is often a problem of the chin. A
symmetrical face is a beautiful face, and the chin is the scale that
determines the balance and harmony of its features.
A beautiful, well-rounded chin in all parts of the face is
often the reason for a weightless appearance over the years. A
deformed or drooping chin, large, asymmetric, or too wide
cannot be hidden with intimidation, self-esteem, and

PROCEDURE
1. CONSULTATION
Chin surgery is a very delicate and personalized intervention and as such requires a consultation specialist very detailed. During the first visit, the DERMOLIFE® surgeon will carefully evaluate the functional aspect, possible congenital or acquired deformities, the angle between nose and chin, the angle between chin and upper lip, defects in the width or tip of the chin. They will also evaluate the relationship between chin and cheeks and nose. Even skin characteristics play an important role in the success of the intervention. After a deep and instructive conversation, after listening to your desires and expectations, the DERMOLIFE® surgeon will illustrate all the objectives and aesthetic results that can be achieved. The DERMOLIFE® surgeon also assesses your health to exclude various diseases, blood clotting problems, or skin rashes that can affect the final results of your surgery. Before the surgical intervention, our surgeon will provide you with precise instructions on nutrition before and after surgery, medication administration, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. You should also undergo some tests in advance, such as a cardiac examination, a lung X-ray, and some standard blood and urine tests. After summarizing all the answers to these tests, it is the turn of a consultation with our anesthesiologist for the staff to decide on the general health status and the opportunity to perform the surgery in question. At the end of the consultation, the surgeon, after an open and very instructive conversation, will choose with you the most appropriate surgical procedure for your case.
The goal of DERMOLIFE® surgeons is to prioritize the functional aspect and improve the aesthetic appearance of the chin and the entire face, while highlighting the most beautiful in you, because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
2. ANESTHESIA
In the case of surgical intervention, one of the most common concerns is anesthesia. In any case, DERMOLIFE® staff prefers to choose, except for in the case of general anesthesia, local sedation anesthesia. Local anesthesia is performed with some minor injections in the area of the surgical intervention ensuring the absence of pain. While sedation consists of intravenous injection of drugs that reduce anxiety and induce a light sleep state or a little deeper. Total anesthesia, which guarantees the performance of the operation in complete safety, is performed by putting the person in a deep sleep, breathing with special machinery, and maintaining all physiological functions of the body. The use of state-of-the-art drugs allows for immediate, non-traumatic awakening, without nausea and vomiting, and allows for rapid recovery of the individual.
3. SURGERY
In any case, the DERMOLIFE® staff aims to provide the person with a smooth and painless surgical experience. The surgery is performed following a precise protocol that ensures maximum quality and safety, achieving excellent results without leaving visible marks. The surgery lasts from 1 hour to 2 hours and 30 minutes. You should return home within the day. Depending on the surgical technique used, chin surgery can be surgical or with fillers. In surgical chin surgery, all incisions are made inside the site without leaving any marks or externally in the area under the chin. It is one of the most sophisticated plastic surgery techniques and is successfully implemented by Italian plastic surgeons DERMOLIFE®. Open surgery allows the surgeon to directly see the defects of the bone system and chin and allows correction with the utmost precision. Aesthetic chin surgery can also be performed by injections with fillers, namely with hyaluronic acid, whose properties are not only restructuring but also regenerative for the skin. It can also be combined with other surgical procedures such as facelift, nose reshaping, or blepharoplasty. The result of surgical chin surgery is permanent. Chin surgery is advisable for both men and women. It is recommended to perform it after 16 years, when facial bone development is complete. Non-surgical remodeling lasts from 6 months to 1 year.
