Chin Surgery

Plastic surgery is an exacting craft like the creativity of a sculptor. As with every creation, the difference between an ordinary production and a masterpiece may be measured in millimeters. A masterpiece derives from the skill, experience and passion of the craftsman. Cosmetic chin surgery has the potential to transform an ordinary face into a beauty.

After deciding with the patient about the exact goal, using computer imaging, Dr. Foster employs all the latest surgical techniques and tools such as surgical saws, chisels and motorized rasps to create a chin that is more symmetrical and proportionate to the patient’s face. Dr. Foster says that the advancements in technology allow a skilled plastic surgeon to sculpt the bone of the chin to just about any shape that is required. Depending upon requirement, it is also possible to add to the chin bone using some very well tolerated implants such as silicon rubber or Gortex. Eventually the patient’s own bone grows into some implants, allowing the development of new bone.

Dr. Foster prefers to use only such implants that do not require a long healing time. Once the surgery is completely healed, the implant does not need any kind of protective guard. On the contrary, a silicone rubber chin implant may protect you from more serious injury in a car accident. Dr. Foster believes that it is very important that a chin implant surgery leaves no visible scars. For young patients in particular, it can be very crucial to achieve acceptance and success in their social and professional lives. A person with a weak chin may get perceived as weak, no matter what job or profession they are in.

Success in personal and professional life is easier to come by if you are perceived as strong. A strong chin can play a significant role in creating a personality profile. Abraham Lincoln had a weak chin and used a beard to hide it. He then comes across as a forceful personality.

Dr. Foster says he occasionally comes across a young female patient who has a chin so prominent that they get teased in school. It can be a traumatic life for many children who are unable to do anything about the physical issues of their chin. Dr. Foster believes that from age eighteen onwards, a person is able to make the right decisions for his or her own life. Therefore, a simple procedure such a cosmetic chin surgery can help to transform the self-confidence of anyone who needs this surgery, and is over the age of 18.
