On the basis of the patient or surgeon’s preference, general or local anesthesia is administered to perform the surgery.

The incision is made at the time of the surgery inside of the mouth between the lower lip and the gum or underneath the chin. Incisions that are made in the mouth are more likely to generate bacteria into the body, however, there is no visible scarring. Once the incisions are made, the surgeon inserts the chin implant and positions than in front of the jawbone. Then the surgeon checks its appearance for proper balance with other facial features and might alter or adjust the implant to make sure that the proper look is achieved. Once this is achieved, the chin implant is sutured into the place thus completing the procedure. It will take nearly ten days for the sutures to get dissolved. Also, sutures placed outside the mouth are removed after the same period.
