Chin Implant

The shape of the chin is very important to ensure the facial proportions looked balanced. A small or weak chin is unable to support the jawline and will lack definition of the jaw and neck.

Subtle enhancements can be made with the use of fillers or fat grafting, but for many a chin implant is a relatively quick, simple and permanent way to enhance the shape of the chin.

Chin implants can be used alone, but are also commonly used as part of lower face and neck lift procedures to add greater definition to the chin and jaw, and to enhance the results of face and neck lift surgery. Implants are tailored specifically to the jaw and outcome desired by the patient.

What to Expect on The Day:

The team will welcome you to the clinic and get you settled and relaxed. You will meet the consultant anaesthetist who will discuss the anaesthetic with you. We will go through the procedure and discuss the process and sign the consent form. Photographs will be taken before heading to theatre.

Once in theatre and asleep, Mr West will mark the planned incision underneath your chin. Through the skin incision a pocket is created under the skin to fit the chin implant. The chin implant is gently placed and secured in the correct place with sutures. The skin is closed, and small dressings placed over the wound.

Following surgery you will be transferred to the dedicated recovery area where you will be looked after by our expert staff. Once you are awake and feeling well we will ensure all aftercare is explained and follow up appointments are arranged before letting you leave.

Frequently asked questions

Are chin implants permanent?

Yes. Implants are permanent and don’t need replacing unless there is a specific reason.

What are chin implants made from?

There are different types of implants available. The most common types are made from silicone or special types of plastic.

What are the alternatives to chin implants.

Fillers and fat grafting can be used to achieve subtle changes. For people who have significant underlying problems with their jaw or the alignment of their teeth, surgery to the jaw (orthognathic surgery) might be necessary.

What are the follow up or aftercare procedures?

You will be reviewed at about 10 – 14 days to ensure everything is healing well, and scar massage begins at this point. Further review appointment is usually made 4-6 weeks after surgery.

When can I start playing sports again?

Light activity is ok after 10 days. Vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least 3 weeks. Anything that gets your face red (bending over, heavy lifting) should be avoided in the first 2 weeks.

“My consultation was very informative and put me at ease. Mr West has done an amazing job on my face. Lots of lovely comments on how fresh faced I’m looking. My scars are almost invisible. 10 years younger but I don’t look like I’ve had surgery.”

  Blow Media have just launched our brand swanky new website and, excuse the pun, we are blown away.

Scott, Ross and Rik nailed the brief we gave them and have gone above and beyond to produce a cracking website. It was also excellent value for money!

The team were responsive throughout and were understanding and cool about last minute changes and design tweaking.

I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

  Best Website Design Agency in Berkshire in my view, perhaps the best in the UK. Have built 5 websites with them for clients in London, Leamington and Berkshire and every-time they knock it out the park.

  This is an example of what our target clients are saying...“I have just looked at your new website….It does look amazing!!!! Very fresh, modern, vibrant and clear and simple to navigate. :)”. Exactly what we want - Scott and his team have delivered against the brief for our new website. Can't recommend them highly enough.

  We have worked with Blowmedia closely to build two websites. I am not a very techy person and was daunted by the whole process, Scott explained everything to me in a way I could understand, always at the end of the phone or contactable by email and the whole process dealing with him and his team was easy and painless. The website is very professional and easy to navigate and has instantly from being launched started to attract new patients. I would highly recommend Scott and the Blowmedia's team to build any website.

  I initially spoke to a member of Blow Media's team at a trade show and was very impressed with what they had to offer and with the websites they had already built which I was able to look at on my phone as I queued up to speak to somebody.
The initial meeting was followed up very promptly that following week with an email and a fully detailed proposal of what they could offer which was very easy to follow, explaining fully all their services and a breakdown of their costs.
I had already researched web designers thoroughly and soon realised that Blow Media, from my initial meeting and early correspondance, was the company I was going to use.
From day one they were very proactive  and led the whole process. Scott the MD came to see us and very quickly fully understood and visualised what we wanted to achieve perfectly. He also recommended a content writer, an SEO company, a company to do some filming in the clinic and a photographer. We used all his contacts other than the photographer which we decided to try and do ourselves but have since decided to use the photographer Blow Media initially recommended as my photography was the only thing I could criticise about my website.
I would highly recommend Blow Media and their whole team, I have already instructed them to start work on our second website as our first website is already delivering and the clinic has never been busier.

  Blow Media  built our first website back in 2011. They worked closely with us and were able to deliver an outstanding, well presented website that enabled us to get found on search engines. After our business continued to grow we commissioned a second website in 2014 and then our third website was built in 2018. Our experience from start to finish has been fantastic With a special mention for Tracy and Scott who always make the process a joy. I would highly recommend the team and have many times already!
