What is Facial Balancing?

Facial balancing, also known as Facial profile balancing, involves chin surgery and rhinoplasty to enhance the harmony of facial features. Chin augmentation can create a more defined jawline, while rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve overall facial symmetry. However, in a case where the chin is overprojected or too large, chin reduction can be done together with rhinoplasty. Together, these procedures help achieve a balanced, aesthetically pleasing profile by ensuring the nose and chin complement each other.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to enhance its appearance or improve function. It addresses issues like a crooked nose or breathing difficulties and aims to create a nose that complements the rest of the facial features.

Genioplasty

Genioplasty, also called Chin Bone Surgery, is an approach that involves cutting or shaving the chin bone to move a portion of your mandible and change the appearance of your chin. Dr. Ort can adjust the bone to advance or reduce your chin’s appearance, making it a great option for patients who may not want facial prosthetics.

Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and size of the chin. This can be achieved using implants or dermal fillers to create a more defined jawline and better facial balance. The goal is to improve the chin’s profile, complementing other facial features for a harmonious appearance.

Is Facial Balancing Painful?

Facial balancing procedures, such as chin augmentation and rhinoplasty, may involve some discomfort, but it’s generally manageable with medication. Chin augmentation often causes minor discomfort, while rhinoplasty may result in more noticeable but temporary pain. Overall, any discomfort is usually mild and short-lived compared to the benefits of the procedures.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

For facial balancing, you’ll generally need a few key appointments: an initial consultation to plan your treatment, one or more sessions for the procedures themselves, and follow-up visits to monitor your progress and recovery. The number of appointments will depend on the specific procedures and your needs.

How Long Until I See Results?

You’ll typically see initial results from facial balancing procedures within a few weeks, but the full effects may take several months to develop fully. Swelling and bruising from chin augmentation and rhinoplasty procedures will subside over time, revealing the final, enhanced results.

Can I Combine Facial Balancing With Other Procedures?

Facial balancing can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results, such as BOTOX, fillers, or laser skin resurfacing. Your provider can help create a customized plan that integrates multiple procedures to meet your goals.

What Are the Risks Associated With Facial Balancing?

The risks associated with facial balancing include:

  • Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection with rhinoplasty and chin augmentation.
  • Bleeding: Bleeding is another common risk associated with surgical procedures, including rhinoplasty and chin augmentation.
  • Nerve injury: When chin implants are combined with rhinoplasty, there’s a risk of nerve injury.
  • Swelling and bruising: Common after procedures like chin augmentation and rhinoplasty.
  • Scarring: Combining chin implants with rhinoplasty can increase the risk of visible scarring.
  • Misaligned implant: There is a potential risk of the chin implant becoming misaligned when performed alongside rhinoplasty.
  • Adverse reaction to anesthesia: Undergoing both rhinoplasty and chin implant surgeries increases the risk of an adverse reaction to anesthesia.
  • Bone resorption: Over time, pressure from a chin implant can cause the underlying bone to erode, potentially altering the fit and appearance of the implant.
  • Discomfort: although rare, some may experience chronic discomfort if their muscle is too tight and cannot get used to the implant placed under the muscle.

These risks are typically minimal and manageable with proper care and an expertly trained surgeon like Dr. Ort.
