Chin Enhancement in Oakville, Ontario
Surgical Procedure At ICLS the most popular method for removing fatty deposits under the chin and contouring jawline area is through submental liposuction. Less invasive options for chin enhancement using CoolSculpting®; Belkyra™, a fat-dissolving injectable; or cosmetic fillers to enhance the appearance of the jawline.
The submental liposuction procedure is performed under local anesthesia using the VASERlipo System, a minimally invasive ultrasound device that is a revolution in aesthetic body contouring. Additional skin tightening with radiofrequency may also be recommended for best results.
Patients looking for more balance in their facial features may benefit from a chin implant. A chin implant is made of a synthetic material that feels much like the natural tissue found in the chin. Submental or under the chin liposuction may also be recommended to enhance the final outcome, and to give better contour during this facial reconstruction.
