Who
does not like minimally-invasive surgical
procedures? They are less risky, the healing
time is longer, generally the
need for being under anesthesia is not there,
and the cost is much higher. The cosmetic surgeons
understand that and are trying to develop
non-invasive procedures.
We
have already discusses the
non-surgical rhinoplasty and Dr. Alexander
Rivkin is now applying the same principles to non
surgical chin enhancement.
 In
this alternative to traditional mentoplasty
(surgical chin enhancement), Dr. Rivkin uses the
injectable filler
Radiesse to enhance the projection of the
chin, thereby improving the profile and the
overall balance of facial features. The procedure
is usually done in two 30 minute stages, two weeks
apart.
According
to Dr. Rivkin, a weak chin can make other facial
features appear larger than they are, especially
the nose. Enhancing the chin proportionately to
the nose provides balance to the rest of the face.
Unlike permanent surgical
chin implant procedures, Dr. Rivkin can change
the area of injection each time he does the
procedure in order to compensate for any changes
in the patient’s face over time. Also, the
procedure is extremely precise. Instead of being
limited by a prefabricated implant, Dr. Rivkin
adds only where it is necessary to achieve exactly
what the patient desires. The result is individual
and always natural, without looking overdone. |
