Chin Implant | Chin Augmentation | Cheek Malar Enhancement in Mumbai India - Dr. Debraj Shome

The bony projections of the face like the forehead, the chin and the cheek bones, play a big role in how you look. A prominent chin and prominent cheek bones have been considered signs of good looking people, both men and women. Especially, if you are in the glamour industry, how you photograph, depends on the way the camera flash reflects off your facial features, namely your chin, your cheek bones and your forehead.

Earlier, getting high cheek bones and a more prominent chin was difficult - You needed to undergo orthognatic surgery which necessitated cutting the malar (cheek bones) and the chin and shifting the bones forwards with screws and plates. Orthognatic surgery left a patient with unacceptable morbidity, with the patient having to be put on a liquid diet for weeks on end. With the advent of the new implant materials, now one can perform augmentation and enhancement of the chin, the cheeks and the jaw easily, using chin, cheek and jaw implants.

The implants can be made up of bio-inert material like silicone, which is soft and non-reactive and can be easily placed over the cheek and the chin. Or, they can be made of porous poyethylene (Medpor or Biopore) material, which is an integrative material, into which the blood vessels and the fibrous tissue from the surrounding tissues can grow into the implant.

The chin implant can be inserted through an incision within the mouth. The chin implant is fixated via screws or sutures. Since the implant is inserted from inside the mouth, there are no visible skin scars. The cheek implants are also inserted from inside the mouth, using the same incision as is used in a mid-face lift. Any asymmetry in between the two malar areas can also be addressed, using the differently sized cheek implants.

In this video, best facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Debraj Shome, a top facial plastic surgeon from Mumbai, India, operates on a top Lebanese actor and sets his nose right and also alters his chin. The actor, Mr. Mohammed Kharouf, underwent a septo-rhinoplasty. In addition, Mr. Kharouf underwent a chin implant surgery. When the chin is retruded and small, the nose can appear larger in size, as there is no balance in the facial features. By enhancing the size and the shape of the chin by chin augmentation, using a chin implant, Mr. Kharouf had a pleasing result, which further accentuated the harmony of his face, post the nasal surgery. In addition, Dr. Shome also demonstrates the chin implant in another British patient. A German lady, Ms. Hubner, who underwent cheek implants, for cheek augmentation, is also described in this video.
