The results of surgery vary from one patient to the next. After surgery, patients will feel some discomfort. These include soreness and bruising. The mouth may feel stiff for several weeks. Unfortunately, results cannot be guaranteed. In some cases, a second operation may be required. Patients are advised not to smoke, drink alcohol, or move excessively for up to a week after the procedure. The cost of jaw surgery is usually the responsibility of the patient.
Chin augmentation
A chin augmentation process takes approximately an hour. It can be done either with general or local sedation. The chin implants are inserted into the front of your jawbone. To close the incision, sutures will be used. This procedure is very painless and quick. Most patients return to work or their home within a week of surgery. Sometimes, the patient may not be able have their incisions made inside their mouth. In these cases, the surgeon will make incisions under the chin. No visible scarring is left behind after the procedure.
Cost of a chin augmentation is dependent on many factors. One of the most important aspects is the skill level of the plastic surgeon. The more experienced a surgeon is, the more likely they are to produce an excellent result. Less experienced surgeons are more likely to make mistakes and experience more complications. It is always a good idea for patients to see before and afterwards photos of surgeons' work.
Angle augmentation
Jaw angle augmentation is a procedure that improves the facial balance and proportions by augmenting the jaw. You can use either fillers or implants to perform the procedure. Although fillers are temporary and can easily be removed if the patient is not satisfied with the results, jaw angles implants can provide immediate volume improvement. However, the procedure requires surgery.
The most important aspect of the procedure is choosing the right style of jaw angle implant. The surgeon will determine the correct angle using xrays and a clinical exam. The surgeon must hear the patient's vision of the ideal jaw shape. This is especially important for titanium implant patients, since the procedure is an all or nothing affair.

Some surgeons charge a set fee for cheek implants, while others may have flexible payment plans and offer financing options.

Implantation of jaw
If you are considering having jaw implants, you should look for a board-certified plastic surgeon. Before you make a decision on a doctor for your jaw implants, it is important to meet with them. You can search the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ "Find a Surgeon” website to locate a surgeon who's board-certified.
Implants are made from silicone and other synthetic materials. They are shaped to match the jawline and attach with two to three titanium screws. The surgeon will make incisions at the corner and under your chin. The incision, which is sealed in layers, will allow the implant to be inserted. This seal prevents any fluid from leaking through the wound. The entire procedure usually lasts one to two hours.
