cleft chin removal surgery
If you suffer from a cleft chin, you might be wondering if you can afford to have it fixed. Cleft-chins can be very difficult to fix with just surgery. Cleft chins can lead to serious problems when it comes down to maintaining your natural facial features. A cleft may be a problem if your chin is not perfect. Depending on the type of surgery you need, cleft chin removal may cost $1000 or more.
Dermal fillers
Two main types of dermal fillers are available for correcting a cleft chin. Although both can reduce the dimple, the effects of each one are slightly different. Dermal fillers (also known as dermal grafts) are temporary and are injected under the skin's soft tissues. The precise depth of the injection is dependent on the patient’s goals and individual needs. The effects of dermal fillers generally last six to twelve months. Another option is fat grafting. The surgeon will remove some of the fat from your stomach to make it larger and transplant it into the chin.
Fat grafting
Cleft chins are repairable with surgery or can be completely removed. The surgeon will decide which option is best for you. It's possible either to add a full chin augmentation, or to remove a small portion with a fat-graft. This option is more costly than others but is far less invasive.
There are also non-surgical options
There are many non-surgical options, but the effects of a chin operation are not always permanent. The process of cleft chin removal involves the removal of bone and soft tissue in the affected area. The surgeon will determine the depth of the filler and the results may last from six months to one year. The surgeon can repair a cleft in the chin by removing the chin bones or addressing the separation of the muscles. Surgery is a highly specialized procedure, and the goal of the surgeon is to create a natural-looking result.
Cost
There are several surgical procedures that can correct a cleft in the chin. The surgical methods for correcting a cleft in the chin include fat grafting, dermal fillers, and chin reconstruction. These temporary dermal fillers have the ability to be reversed in the event of side effects. The procedure can last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the surgeon and the type of filler used. Fat grafting, which is the procedure to permanently fill the area with fat, involves the removal and filling of small amounts of stomach fat.
