Chin Implant Rockville, MD | Dr. Adam Tattelbaum MD

Understanding Chin Implant Surgery in Maryland

A chin implant is a precise surgical procedure designed to enhance facial symmetry and balance by increasing the chin's height, volume, or projection. Dr. Adam Tattelbaum, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in creating natural-looking facial transformations through advanced chin augmentation techniques.

Procedure Overview

Chin implant surgery involves inserting a molded implant through a small incision, either under the chin or inside the mouth. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and can dramatically improve facial proportions.

Implant Materials and Options

• Solid Silicone: Soft and easily placed
• Medpore: Porous plastic that allows tissue integration
• Custom sizing to match individual facial structures

Candidate Selection for Chin Implant Surgery

Ideal candidates are in good health with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Dr. Tattelbaum carefully evaluates each patient's facial structure to determine the most appropriate approach to chin augmentation.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Tattelbaum prefers the under-the-chin approach to minimize infection risks and ensure precise implant placement. This method allows for optimal positioning and natural-looking results.

Recovery and Expectations

• Minimal downtime (typically 1 week)
• Initial swelling and bruising subside within weeks
• Full results visible after complete healing

Potential Benefits

Chin implants can provide significant improvements in facial profile, balance prominent features like the nose, and enhance overall facial harmony. The procedure is particularly effective for patients seeking to strengthen their jawline or create more defined facial contours.

Risks and Considerations

While chin implant surgery is generally safe, potential risks include infection, asymmetry, and sensory nerve impacts. Dr. Tattelbaum's board-certified expertise minimizes these risks through meticulous surgical technique.

Pricing and Consultation

The total procedural fee is $5,900, which includes surgical costs and professional services. Financing options are available to make the procedure more accessible.
