Chin Implant Surgery in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur

An elongated, more angular V-shaped face often represents an elegant, feminine look. A stronger, more predominant chin has always symbolized strength and character for men.

Many see the chin as a defining feature of facial symmetry and aesthetics. A weaker or receded chin can make some individuals feel their face lacks harmony or character. These feelings can give rise to insecurities that may affect personal, social, or professional interactions. Chin implant surgery can help address these concerns. Enhancing the projection and shape of the chin can bring balance, symmetry, and more contour to the face.
 
Chin implant surgery is an outpatient procedure. Under general or local anesthesia, Dr. MacArthur makes a small incision inside the mouth or under the chin. A pocket is created in front of the chin bone and beneath the muscles where the implant will be placed. The implant is then inserted and positioned, after which the incision is closed.
 
Chin implant surgery is ofter performed with a FaceLift to address sagging skin and provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Neck Liposuction to enhance the definition between the chin and the neck. And Rhinoplasty to balance the nose with the new chin projection.

Dr. MacArthur is a top-rated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa specializing in chin implant surgery. He is the Medical Director at New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, one of the busiest surgical centers in the city.

How to Prepare for Surgery:

Consultation

During your initial consultation, your aesthetic goals will be discussed in detail, all of your questions will be answered, and Dr. MacArthur will create a digital preview of what the results of your chin implant can look like after surgery.

Medications

Some medications and supplements can increase the risk of bleeding. Dr. MacArthur provides specific information on what to avoid before and after surgery.

Avoid Smoking

Smoking can impair healing. For optimal results, quitting smoking is essential several weeks before your surgery.

Arrange for a Ride

You will need someone to drive you home after surgery, and it may be helpful if they can stay with you for a day or two afterward.

What to Expect After Surgery:

Swelling & Bruising

Common after surgery, but these symptoms will diminish over the following days. It may take a few weeks for the swelling to fully subside.

Recovery Time

Most patients return to work after a week, but strenuous activity should be avoided for at least a month.

Follow-up Appointments

Ensure you attend the scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. MacArthur for optimal results.

Chin implant surgery can last from 45 minutes to a couple of hours.

Is chin implant surgery painful?

Any discomfort post-surgery is managed with prescribed pain medications.

There won't be visible scars if the incision is made inside the mouth. An incision under the chin typically leaves a small, inconspicuous scar. We offer medical grade skincare products to help minimize the appearance of the incision line.

Can the implant be removed?

Yes, if necessary, the implant can be removed or replaced.

Will OHIP insurance cover the cost of my chin implant surgery?
