Rumer Willis’ Chin – Bad Gene?

There's no doubt about it, Rumer Willis is an all-out dazzler.

At the recent Power of Paws launch party, Rumer was decked in a strappy black dress that left little to the imagination and showed off her dewy complexion beautifully. While the yellow pumps she had on might have added a bit of unconventionality to her look, it was her resemblance to her parents that made excuses for her.

Rumer is her mother's child all right. With Demi Moore's eyes and complexion, the features from daddy Bruce Willis' side of the family tree are almost overshadowed. Sadly, there is only so much you can do to hide a prominent chin though.

One of the things Rumer has inherited from her pa is her broad and jutting chin.

Speculations about a chin reduction and jaw realignment surgery abound, but I doubt Rumer has had any cosmetic surgery work. One of the benefits of a chin surgery is that it can enhance the appearance of a prominent chin very well.

While you cannot draw the focus from the chin, it can be made to subtly blend with the rest of the facial features via a chin implant or a chin reduction surgery.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we perform both these procedures along with corrective chin surgery. Visit us to know how you can improve your chin.


Of Titanium, Boxers & Chin Surgery

A friend of mine recently announced his intentions of enrolling for kick boxing classes and all I could think of was the punches and black eyes that (I feel) are so common to this sport.

Apart from my unfamiliarity with the sport, I do know that boxing is a pretty rough activity and that both professional and amateur boxers more often than not, have to take a punch to the face. The good thing is that there is always reconstructive surgery or cosmetic surgery to repair most of the damage.

I dug a little further and came across a professional boxer who took a punch to her chin and suffered a split jaw for it. (Note: Link contains gory pictures)

Kim Couture is as gutsy as they come and fits the gorgeous sportswoman image to the tee.

Kim recently suffered an injury to her jaw during her MMA pro debut spar with her opponent Kim Rose and had to have a chin surgery fix her jaw. The surgery was more corrective than cosmetic and required Kim to be fitted with a titanium plate held together by screws.

Titanium is the favored material for chin implant surgery or a corrective chin surgery procedure and is approved by the FDA. With this surgery, Kim ought to be able to return to the boxing ring within a period of 6 weeks- something she is really looking forward to.

Whether it is a rough sport like boxing or a primarily cosmetic procedure like chin enhancement surgery, think twice before you make a decision that will alter your physical appearance in any way. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for further details.


Joan Collins – The Beauty With The Double Chin

Joan Collins once famously claimed that lipstick was her shield against aging.

One of the original doyennes of the glamour business Joan Collins, all of 75 looks not a day over 40 with her iridescent complexion and sparkling eyes. But this is the picture from afar; up close you notice the little tell-tale wrinkles and sagging skin.

Rumors about a face lift fly every now and then, but Joan has never come out front on any confirmations. In one statement Joan mentions, "I don't want to keep having my face pulled and poked and Botoxed until I don't look like myself, but a caricature."

She goes on to add that she would have a
chin surgery and make an allowance to her statement only when she gets double chins. Chances are she has neatly avoided a double chin by already getting a chin enhancement.

There is no way this accomplished actress and mother of three has not had some plastic surgery help. Currently married to her fifth husband who is years younger than she is, Joan Collins cannot hide her obvious varicose veins and sagging lower neck skin.

Strangely enough, her appearance from the neck area upwards gleams of freshness and youth giving the impression of a lot of tastefully executed cosmetic surgery.

While it may be difficult for those in the spotlight to come right out and admit to their cosmetic surgery, there is really no need to hide it. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California offers some great chin surgery packages for men and women in their 70's, specially customized to suit the skin texture particular to this age.

BDD & Chin Surgery – Bad Combination

BDD is short for body dysmorphic disorder, a condition that makes a person feel insecure about their body and perceive it to have an excess of flaws. A primarily mental condition, BDD is usually found to affect anyone in their teens or above.

A clinic in Victoria, Australia discovered at least 15 percent of patients suffering from this disorder visit plastic surgeons in the hopes of finding an antidote to their 'flaws'. Many of them are quite blessed in the beauty department, but the nature of the disorder is such that they will not rest until they have cosmetic surgery.

Facial surgery procedures, such as chin enhancement, cheek implants, etc. are more common among this group of people.

Chin surgery doctors need to screen a patient before consenting to perform a chin implant or an enhancement on them. As it is one of the focal points of the face, repeated chin surgery procedures demanded by a BDD patient will result in a weak and shapeless chin.

If you have a good chin reduction or enhancement specialist taking care of the operation process, chances are he will screen you out for any disorders or health problems before agreeing to perform the surgery. It is always advisable to reserve your discretion though.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for a thorough chin surgery consultation before an operation.

Know About: The Super Sutures That Keep Your Chin Safe

There is still such a lot of hue and cry on and about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. The health departments in both the U.S. and the UK (especially) are under severe scrutiny where safety standards are concerned, all for limiting the spread of infections caused by these bacteria.

The MRSA bacterium occurs not only in plastic surgery but also other surgery cases. The worst thing about it is that it's resistant to antibiotics, a situation that has resulted in quite a number of infections and some deaths.

At least 60 percent of surgical site infections are believed to occur at the incision itself and all precautions have to be followed to prevent an onset of staph. One of the best precautions available to safeguard chin enhancement or chin implant patients from an MRSA infection is the Antibacterial Sutures developed by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson Ltd.

These sutures are considered a breakthrough in wound closure technology and are able to effectively exterminate bacteria and stall bacterial colonization of the suture.

If chin surgery specialists follow additional infection-preventives like maintaining hygiene and sterilization procedures, maintaining the body temperature of the patient and the supply of oxygen, etc. these sutures can prove to be very helpful.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we employ the best practices and procedures during a chin enhancement procedure. Advanced technology and equipment like the Antibacterial Sutures are just one of the safety measures against staph we employ.

General Anesthesia & Pronounced Post-Chin Surgery Pain

For most people a chin surgery means a minor cosmetic operation and treat it as just so.

While this might hold true for basic chin enhancement work, a more complicated procedure like chin reduction or chin implant surgery to adjust the contours of a chin, involves more complex work.

Towards this end, plastic surgeons plan out the procedure and advice the patient on pre and post-surgery care. One of the components of a chin surgery- anesthesia administration, call for acquainting the candidate about the effects and requirements of the step.

While local anesthesia is common for outpatient procedures that are basic, general anesthesia is preferred for inpatient treatments or combination chin enhancement procedures.

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that the drugs used for general anesthesia could prove to amplify post-surgery pain after the patient awakes. The research was conducted on mice and brings to light the different nuances and effects of anesthesia administration.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we suggest a patient is to inform the cosmetic surgeon about any family history of anesthesia tolerance. Surgery of any kind involves risks and at our advanced surgical institute we work our best to reduce this risk.

American Health Care Good Enough For A Chin Enhancement?

American economist Ben Bernanke believes that there is a very noticeable gap between the quality of health services that should be and can be provided and the quality that are actually provided to the American public.

 

In a recent Senate committee hearing on health reform Bernanke presented his views which hold the US health care system in a sorry light. As a branch of medicine, plastic surgery too comes under the broad umbrella of health care and services.

 

By default this field too is in imperative need of being granted equal attention for reform.

 

The newsflashes that mar the image of cosmetic surgery and as a result chin surgery, all too frequently seem to highlight Bernanke's views. He adds, "Inconsistent use of best practices by doctors and hospitals is also surprisingly widespread".

 

It maybe time for a redressal of plastic surgery procedures and practices, making a chin enhancement surgery all the more beneficial for the patient. Offered at almost every plastic surgery clinic and practice, cosmetic chin surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis.

 

Checking the surgical facility for an AAAHC certification and accreditation by a board like the ASPS can be a solid step in ensuring that the US health care system works towards you.

 

One surgical facility that meets all these requirements is the renowned chin enhancement surgical facility, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

The Most Powerful Chin Implant In The World

That award would most certainly go to Oprah Winfrey.

The talk show host ranks numero uno on the Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity list for 2007-2008 (for the second time may I add). The lady has more financial chutzpah than Steve Jobs’ Apple brainchild, with women scrambling to get everything on her list of must-haves.

Oprah, as the title of the post hints, is believed to have had a chin implant surgery to enhance her face. This speculation was regrettably squashed along with other cosmetic surgery rumors like a breast lift surgery and a liposuction.

What cosmetic surgeons don’t buy is Oprah’s stance on plastic surgery for herself which she constantly keeps denying. She insists that the first thing she’ll do after having a chin enhancement or any other body altering procedure is shout it out to her fans.

Now if we were to believe every celebrity who promised us that wherever would we be!

For a woman who is in the public eye as much as Oprah is, a chin surgery wouldn’t be an abnormality. Oprah’s chin does look more defined now than 10 years ago when she appeared on the cover of Time magazine as a character from a movie she was filming at that time.

The change is remarkable and very comely for her age (54).

Jessica Simpson’s Got A New Chin

Joe Simpson’s daughters couldn’t be less alike.

While one is expecting a baby with her rocker husband, the other is sorting out her relationship. While one is a feisty redhead, the other is a sultry blond bombshell. But both Ashley and Jessica have two things in common though.

Plastic surgery and a busy showbiz life.

While Ashley’s nose surgery comes as no surprise for most of us, Jessica’s possible chin enhancement surgery does raise a few eyebrows. Cityrag has drawn a thorough comparison

between the past and present appearance of Jessica Simpson’s face.

From all accounts and angles Jessica does look like she has had some chin surgery to supplement the nose job. That adorable dent in her chin looks more pronounced now than it was before.

Cosmetic surgeons are able to restructure this dent in a patient’s chin during a chin enhancement surgery and Jessica Simpson’s surgeon has probably worked on hers. Considering the definition the nose and chin provide the face with, it is not unusual for patients to go for a cosmetic surgery that combines these two procedures.

Are you looking for something similar? Get in touch with us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

The American Economy & Chin Surgery

There are conflicting views on the American economy’s influence on cosmetic surgery and none of them are making it easy on the chin surgery wishful.

What a potential candidate for cosmetic chin enhancement needs to remember is the nature and costs involved in this particular surgery. Read on for a better idea.

Investors.com reported an analyst speaking for Maxim Group who thinks the cosmetic enhancement business is not one to remain immune to the downturn of the US economy. One of the main reasons cited for this downward spiral is the lack of Medicare or insurance reimbursements for cosmetic surgery.

Unlike more complex plastic surgery procedures, chin implant surgery or a chin reduction is performed on a smaller scale. The economy and subsequently your wallet shouldn’t make it a problem to have this particular procedure as the costs run much less for it.

What a chin surgery patient needs to remember though is to not consider for even one moment a cheaper alternative or even a plastic surgeon that offers less for less. In the long run you could end up coughing more for revisions.

Dave Navarro’s Weak (Chin)

The closest Dave Navarro must have come to plastic surgery of any kind must have been in the form of his ex-wife Carmen Electra.

While Carmen has been a breast surgery poster-girl for a long time, her one-time husband has surprisingly steered clear of that path. Dave’s body tattoos are the best he can boast about in terms of body modification and aesthetic alteration.

Dave, thanks to his Spanish roots and a model for a mum, is blessed with very exotic and well-defined features. Compared to his early days as a musician before Jane’s Addiction he has filled in and matured very well partly explaining why he still decorates countless teenage walls.

However roguishly Dave wears his goatee, it brings to mind a trick a lot of men use to cover up a chin that is less defined. Chin enhancement surgery works to correct just this deformity.

By way of a chin implant cosmetic surgeons add volume to the chin of the patient. Of course, in Dave’s case his chin suits him just right as it is in balance with the rest of his facial features. A weak chin could pose a problem for men who don’t have enough facial hair growth or unevenly proportioned features though.

From A Man’s Chin To A Woman’s Chin

Probably one of the least bothered areas of plastic surgery research and procedures is gender reversal surgery and the various cosmetic surgery procedures that go into it.

During a cosmetic alteration of the face, the chin of the patient needs to be paid a lot of attention especially when transforming it from a masculine one to one with a feminine point. At times, due to congenital deformities some women feature heavy chins that are completely out of proportion with the rest of their face.

A cosmetic chin enhancement surgery can dispel these problems and rework the chin to give it a more appealing contour though. As women have a prominent but finer chin than men, doctors usually shave the bone and contour it to give it a more delicate appearance.

Male chins are known to be vertically higher and wider compared to female chins as well and doctors at times need to reposition the chin considerably.

Modifying the chin automatically affects the lips of the patient and can yield a mouth that’s far different from the original one. If you have an experienced chin surgeon you can depend on him to understand this and model your chin enhancement accordingly.

Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to see what your chin surgery options are.

Pete Wentz – Does He Need A Cosmetic Reduction Genioplasty?

Oh yippee yay, he’s a confirmed daddy now.

Seriously, whenever will they stop hiding pregnancies! Pete Wentz and Ashley Simpson have done practically everything in the book to monetize their romance. The only thing missing is a sex tape, and I really wouldn’t put it past them to remove one to fund the baby’s schooling.

Every time I see Wentz (help!) his chin attracts my eyes like a magnet. It really is one of the most prominent under-bites I’ve seen on anyone, except for his wife Ashley maybe.

Usually a chin like that would have someone thinking about a cosmetic chin reduction.

This chin enhancement surgery chips away the chin bone and removes the protruding edge, subsequently repositioning it. Another technique cosmetic surgeons apply involves reshaping the bone using a burr. This lends a nice contour to the chin area and is a great way to polish off the chin enhancement procedure.

The incisions are made on the inside of the mouth and if repositioning is involved in the chin surgery procedure, then metal wires and plates are used to hold the bone together.

The result of a reduction genioplasty almost always yields a very satisfactory result and is scarless. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California the chin reduction surgery is performed in a controlled environment acclaimed as adhering to AAAHC requirements.

Put Your Fat Where Your Mouth Is With Microlipoinjections

Microlipoinjection is probably one of the best procedures till date for the delicate-faced, petite-framed and men and women with a receding chin deformity. Its an excellent chin surgery technique that gets results.

What cosmetic surgeons work upon are fat deposits from your own body which are extracted with a syringe, purified and then re-injected into the chin. Since this area does not require too much fat, the deposits can be extracted with minimum loss of volume to any specific body part.

Plastic surgeons generally use the buttocks, tummy or thigh areas for harvesting fat. Since inherent fat is easily absorbable there are repeat procedures that may be required. But this can be a good thing because fat deposits accumulate and increase with each chin surgery procedure and after a while you can let nature take over.

Also, the effects of this chin enhancement surgery technique are known to last for a maximum of three years. Three years is plenty of time to test your first chin implant surgery and see how it fits into your facial expressions.

Fat is very easily malleable and softer compared to silicone and other chin implant materials making it easier to establish the desired contours.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we are well-versed in various complex chin enhancement surgery techniques. Get an appointment with our advanced surgical institute to know more.

Do You Know - What Goes Into Your Chin Implants?

Read on to know more about what goes into the chin implant size and shape selected by your plastic surgeon for a chin enhancement surgery.

Patient’s who want to insert implants into their chin to define their jawline and add volume to their faces have a range of chin implants they can chose from. Cosmetic surgeons can make use of metals like titanium but they often corrode and erode the bone.

On the other hand, polymers like polyethylene (Dacron, Medpor) and even PTFE’s like Teflon have been found to be very versatile and common.

Silicone however, remains the chin implant material of choice for many doctors due to its adaptive nature and quality. When chin or malar augmentation was first developed (1970’s), split calvarial bone, rib and iliac crest grafts were used. Later alloplastic chin implants were utilized.

The best route plastic surgeons take to predetermine the suitability of a chin implant for a particular candidate is by checking up on the medical history. Thus they can know if the specific implant will cause an allergy or if it will react adversely to the host body.

At times patients request a less invasive material like collagen, Restylane or even Botox (injectables) to be implanted into the chin. These fillers gradually get modified or get absorbed into the patient’s body calling for repeat treatments.

Get the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to help you decide which chin implant material is best suited for your chin enhancement surgery.

A Chin With Lips To Match

In a previous post I had mentioned the three different portions or ‘thirds’ of the face that plastic surgeons make use of to get a better understanding of a patient’s facial anatomy.

The features that make up the third part of the face are the mouth and the chin which are very closely related. Even more closely aligned with each other are the lips and the chin which are interconnected by muscles like the depressor muscles and the orbicularis oris muscle (the kissing muscle- it helps you pucker).

A look at the anatomy of the human mouth will give you a better idea about the physiognomy and will help you get an intimate understanding of the chin enhancement job you want.

It goes without saying that the lips are going to be affected as much by a chin enhancement surgery due to the connection between these two features. Your chin enhancement doctor will explain the manipulation required for the surgery, enough so that you get an idea.

In a chin enhancement procedure proper lip (upper and lower) competence needs to be established. Cosmetic surgeons generally attempt to maintain the lower lip as posterior to the upper lip. They also try to establish a satisfactory configuration with the soft tissue in the chin.

You don’t need to break your head too much over such details though as at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California professional cosmetic surgeons are skilled at maintaining the lip-chin harmony.

Uncover A Slender Neck With A Chin Liposuction Surgery


Read on if you are a victim of the much-dreaded double chin.

For excessive fat in the lower facial region cosmetic surgeons normally propose a sub mentum liposuction or chin liposuction procedure. One of the many contouring options available for rearranging fat in the facial area, this cosmetic surgery is a veritable blessing for those who are cursed with turkey wattles.

Have it with a chin surgery or have it as part of a face lift surgery- a submentum liposuction yields remarkable results for an outpatient cosmetic procedure. On the other hand, if you have this chin enhancement surgery independently you will be out and about in less than an hour.

The great thing about a submentum liposuction is the minimum fuss and post-surgery recovery involved.

What your cosmetic surgeon will do is use a suction device called a canula to methodically attack small areas of fat in the chin area. But rather than getting rid of all the fat he will sculpt what’s already present into the desired contour and simply suction off the rest of it.

Based on the extent of the chin enhancement work required to be executed in the area, the chin surgeon will implement the intraoral technique or a transdermal incision. In both cases the wounds are hidden well out of sight removing any concerns about visible scars.

Get in touch with the first-rate chin surgery consultants at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California today for a complete facial diagnosis.

The Wildenstein Chin Implant – Where It Goes Wrong

If you have kept track of the plastic surgery disasters some notorious celebrities and socialites have had, you must have noticed New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein prominently on that list.

Jocelyn, in her quest for eternal youth and ravishing beauty has become something of an odd-job. One glance at her and you can barely call her human.

Her face has been a canvas for whichever cosmetic surgeon she consults, with almost every cosmetic surgery procedure applied on it. Eyelid surgery, a face lift, cheek implants, a nose surgery that’s given her a tiny nose, lip augmentation, chin enhancement surgery using chin implants and assorted fillers seem to vie for attention on her face.

What stands out however, are her chin, cheeks and the overall bloated appearance of her face. It makes you wonder what kind of a plastic surgeon would be so incompetent as to not know when he needs to stop.

For one, Wildenstein’s surgeon makes a big mistake in the chin implant that’s inserted into her chin. It is common knowledge among cosmetic face surgeons to stick to a smaller chin implant where feminine chin surgery is concerned.

Chin enhancement surgery is not a procedure that can be passed off as trivial as it involves altering one of the three most defining factors in the human face. A plastic surgeon who understands his patient’s facial features intimately is the one you should select for your surgery.

Dimpled Chins, Devil Within

That’s one rhyme that resonates in mind whenever I come across a person with a dimple in their chin. While women look adorable and sexy (wonderful paradox!) with dimpled or cleft chins, men look positively rakish with a pit in theirs.

But not everyone is lucky to be blessed with such an endearing facial feature.

You can always get one with a cosmetic chin surgery though- provided you have the right proportions of features that will easily accommodate a dimple. Plastic surgeons perform this chin enhancement surgery intra-orally, which means no scar.

A cosmetic chin dimple surgery procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes less than an hour to perform.

Do let your cosmetic surgeon know about any anesthesia history in your family though as an anesthesiologist needs to administer local anesthesia for this chin enhancement surgery. The cleft chin creation surgery requires permanent sutures to hold the newly created dimple in place so you can expect some swelling in the chin post-surgery.

But make sure to decide which look suits you best. A look at some pictures of Ashley Simpson, Clive Owen, Gwen Stefani, Matt Damon (very slight one there), Fergie, Jay Leno, etc. will give you an idea about what might suit you.

If you are still confused just visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California where we have chin surgery experts on hand to help you out.

What The Doctor Sees In Your Face Before A Chin Surgery

Along with the nose and the forehead, the chin plays an important part in defining the final look of the face in a face surgery procedure like chin enhancement surgery. These facial features are more interdependent than you know.

As you must be aware of, the plastic surgeon consulted for a chin enhancement surgery always insists on a careful analysis of the patient’s face. Unlike minor surgeries like brow lifts, a chin surgery entails more than a cursory first study.

A chin surgeon generally divides the chin of the patient into three parts, frontal-wise as well as profile-wise.

The chin falls into the lower third portion of the face along with the mouth and based on the degree of recession or protrusion, it is measured in accordance with the features in the other two portions.

If you are having a chin enhancement as part of a face lift surgery procedure, your cosmetic surgeon will be able to correct any deficiencies in the other two portions of the face as well. Doing so allows improved facial harmonics and establishes an even proportion of facial features.

A chin enhancement surgery defines one of the three vital facial features of a person and for gratifying results it is best to have a plastic surgeon that’s confident of the dynamics of the human face. Insist on a board certified doctor and facilities that have received an acclaimed accreditation.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California is open to further help and aid with chin enhancement procedures.

Chin Surgery Expectations – Setting Them

According to Richard Goode, professor of otolaryngology at Stanford, the best way to deal with unhappy patients after a face surgery is to have never operated on them in the first place.

It may sound like a somewhat harsh point of view, but Goode speaks for a lot of plastic surgeons who are faced with disgruntled patients after a plastic surgery procedure. The May issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America contains further elaboration of his views on this problem.

The rest of the body apart, the face is what concerns plastic surgery patients the most. When any cosmetic surgery alteration is undertaken in the facial area- be it chin surgery or eyelid surgery or a face lift surgery, patients tend to get rather finicky.

While this is an understandable response, it should be avoided by the plastic surgeon and the patient as much as possible. But how do you do this?

For one, the plastic surgeon and the patient need to discuss a chin surgery procedure very extensively and sort out the pros and cons of various suggestions before agreeing on the final chin or face style.

Patients, if you have interacted with a chin enhancement surgery consultant during your initial consultation process, ask for the plastic surgeon that is ultimately going to work on your face. Spend some time discussing your chin enhancement or chin implant procedure. At our advanced surgical institute, we allow this critical interaction.

For an appointment with our chin surgery experts, visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Mandibular Osteotomy – Potential Problems

Getting socked in the jaw is not really a good feeling and neither is the grownup result of a childhood jaw deformity termed as a pretty facial feature.

You don’t have to live with these problems though. Mandibular osteotomy, a type of chin surgery procedure, is a good solution for those who want to get rid of chin imperfections. Plastic surgeons usually classify this as a corrective chin surgery procedure.

You can of course ask them to polish it off via a chin enhancement surgery. But this is purely an option and is generally offered as a supplementary procedure. Before you go for a mandibular osteotomy, it would be smart to know the complications and difficulties involved before-hand.

After you have this corrective chin surgery, you will likely face swelling and mild stiffness. This is going to last for a few days and your plastic surgeon will provide you with the necessary pain killers.

The complications involved in a chin surgery are very rare and might involve bleeding from the wounds. A compress can take care of this though.

In some patients, the titanium used in the repairs is known to develop an infection several months after the surgery. In such a situation, you will need to get in touch with your plastic surgeon and get the material removed.

Sometimes a follow up chin surgery may be required if the displacement is still present in the patient’s jaw. The plastic surgeon needs to perform a surgery to reposition them if this is the case.

Want to talk in detail about this with a consultant for chin surgery? Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
