This procedure can be combined with a facelift or an eyelid surgery. However, a brow lift may actually correct the problems that made you consider these other procedures in the first place.

Chin Implants
Your surgeon will choose the correct size and shape of the implant to improve your look. The surgeon will then make a small incision along the inside of the lower lip or just under the chin to create a pocket-like area. The implant will then be placed inside the pocket.

Local Anaesthesia - discussed with your surgeon
Before surgery, please inform your surgeon of any allergies, all medical conditions, and any medication that you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription).
To eliminate the chance of post op. bleeding, you should avoid aspirin and any medication containing aspirin for 2 weeks prior to surgery. You should also not smoke for 1-2 months prior to surgery as smoking can affect your reaction to the anesthetic and slow down the healing process. Patients who suffer from hypertension must inform the surgeon prior to surgery.
Usually, the chin is taped after the surgery to minimize swelling and discomfort. Sutures in the skin will be removed in 5-7 days. If an intra-oral incision is used, the sutures will dissolve by itself.
