Liquid Silicone Chin Injections Turned Into Problem Lumps — “The Art” Removed It All and Rebuilt the Chin Safely
This is a case that came to The Art and walked out looking even better than before. The patient originally had a rather short face and made the unfortunate decision to have liquid silicone injected into his chin. While it did lengthen his face at first, after many years the liquid silicone began causing trouble — it migrated and pooled into lumps at the chin. That worried him, because beyond making his facial shape look odd, leaving it untreated could have led to severe inflammation.
Before this patient came in for chin revision surgery at The Art, his chin shape looked very unusual — sharply pointed and drooping — to the point that he had lost his confidence. In the end he decided he wanted a permanent chin result, so he chose the clinic best known for chin augmentation surgery, The Art, preferring to spend the money, the time, and go through the discomfort just once and be done with it. He wanted a chin that was slimmer and longer but still proportionate to his face, with a slightly rounded tip — and the doctor delivered exactly what he requested.
Because he had previously been injected with liquid silicone, this case was fairly challenging: all the liquid silicone around the chin had to be carefully scraped out first, which took considerable time. The doctor worked meticulously so the chin would come out looking its best, then carved the silicone implant case-by-case to create a chin shape that suited this young man's face, enhancing it so the face looked naturally slimmer and more handsome without an overly long chin. The Art's chin augmentation technique uses an incision hidden inside the mouth, with the implant carved to lock seamlessly onto the chin bone for the smoothest, most natural-looking result. As this was a revision case, swelling could last longer than usual, but once it settled the result speaks for itself — just look at him now.
