Chin Augmentation Surgery – Chin & Jaw Implants – Chicago, IL
OVERVIEW
Chin implants, or chin augmentation, can provide additional volume to the chin area through the use of a silicone implant placed inside of a created chin pocket. Our surgeons will use chin implants to improve the contours of a patient’s face, strengthen the jawline and create a more distinctive profile. The overall look is increased facial harmony and symmetry. Since chin implants come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, our surgeons will work with the patient to choose the best option for the perfect, most natural look.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
During chin augmentation, the implant is positioned over the bone below the lips. A pocket is created, which will hold the prosthesis in place. Sometimes the bone is shaved to create a groove for the implant. Incisions are commonly placed in two areas that can easily conceal scars – on the underside of the chin or inside the lip, just between where the lower lip meets the gum. The results after this procedure are almost always positive for patients. An experience surgeon will create subtle results, yet dramatic enough to make a significant improvement to a person’s self esteem.

” Offered many options and I got the result I wanted – I saw 3 other plastic surgeons for my breast surgery. Dr. Gutowski was the only one who took teh time to make me feel comfortable and he explained all the options to me and later called my husband to review with him also. After the operation, he and his partner took great care of me in the hospital. It has been over 6 “Anonymous”

Very happy with my results – I had a great experience with Dr. Gutowski. He really listened to what I wanted. After going to several doctors that kept telling me to going bigger, Dr. G really understood my vision and he helped me achieved the look I wanted which was figure enhancing, and supportive of my athletic lifestyle.

Mommy Makeover-Breast Augmentation and Lipo to thighs, calves, abs and flanks – I went to two other board certified plastic surgeons before meeting with Dr. G.The first doctor has his sales associate meet with new patients and perform the exam. I left the office with a quote and there was no mention of who would be performing the surgery. The other had me wait in his waiting room for an HOUR and was so rude “B.”

Wouldn’t go to anyone else – I saw Dr Gutowski in the Champaign office. He is awesome. He listens to you and what you are wanting to acheive. I have always had a hollowness under my eyes and it has gotten worse with age and medical problems. He gave me Radiesse under my eyes. He has a special technique that gets the filler where it needs to be with very little pain. It looks great! “S.”

Searching in OH, Michigan, Pittsburgh and Chicago!! – I just love Dr. G, he is a very caring, considerate and very approachable person. There has never been a time that I have gotten in touch with him, whether it be by phone or email, that he did not get in touch with me, and for that I am very grateful.I would strongly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He did not try to push anything “1.”

My first procedure with Dr Gutowski was a few years ago, a Mommy Makeover that changed my life! The tummy still looks great and my breasts feel natural. But then my face needed some work. Dr G’s talent with fillers gave me hope. Over the last 3 years, some well placed Botox, Bellafill and Restylane at Afresh Medical Spa did the trick. Then this year, he fixed my upper eyelids and did liposuction on my “B.C.”

From the very start, my experience with Dr. G and his staff was nothing but excellent! I reached out to several plastic surgeons inquiring about a non-surgical nose job, and although they all reached out within 1-2 days, Dr.G’s office demonstrated excellent patient care right off the bat. Their patient coordinator, Ellen, called me and allowed me to come in for a consultation during a time when their office was typically closed! That showed me “M.R.”

Reconstructive Breast Augmentation- EXCELLENT experience – To summarize, I recently had reconstructive breast augmentation to remove capsular contracture and replace a ruptured implant (from another surgeon 10 years ago). I did extensive research on plastic surgeons in the Chicagoland area and chose 6 doctors for consultation. It was easy to make my final decision to have Dr. Gutowski perform surgery on me. He educated me on all my options and made me feel like I “Anonymous”

“My eyes looked so tired and sad (I am only 36 years old). I saw 3 plastic surgeons to get my options. Only Dr. Gutowski gave me the options of having the procedure in a hospital or in his office procedure suite.

I needed help with my pendulous earlobes, and I asked Dr. Julia Kerolus to evaluate them and make a plan. She met with me and covered my hopes and expectations and explained what she could do surgically. I was fully aware of what to expect and the outcome was perfect. The actual earlobe reduction procedure was in the office, took about 14 minutes, and was actually a pleasant experience. I would do it again in “M.R.”

I had two procedures done in October by Dr. Gutowski. Liposuction and Breast Augmentation. I have a hereditary fat disorder, Lipodema, and so had lipo on my thighs and calves.

The office staff really did a wonder job getting me through “A.”

Dr. Kerolus has done Botox for me 3 times now, and her technique is honestly painless. She is very thoughtful and precise, and the results look completely natural. Not to mention, she is very knowledgeable and listens to the beauty concerns you want to address overall. I’ve had filler and non-surgical nose job with Dr, Gutowski, and could not be happier. He is slow and meticulous about shaping where he directs the filler, and takes “H.R.”

The result was nature and I feel whole again.”

I’ve used aFresh for Botox/Xeomin and general skincare. Everyone on staff has been wonderful, organized, accommodating. I once showed up a week early for my appointment, and they offered to try to fit me in then and there. I could not be more satisfied with the Xeomin injections I got from Dr Gutowski. He gave me the perfect amount, and drastically improved some asymmetry in my eyebrows. I also really appreciated the skincare consultation with “S.M.”

Scar Revision Was Huge Success – I had scar revision done on 2 large scars in my abdomen. I had 3 major operations 10 years ago that left me with horrible scars.

The results speak for themselves, I’m so happy with my curves. Recovery was harder…

So far I’ve had one Brazilian LHR session with Michelle. She was so professional, and the place was very clean and quiet. I felt very comfortable here despite the fact that I was baring my lady parts. Will definitely be completing my 5 additional sessions, and I will try to report back on the success. The machine they use is new, large, quick, and powerful, so apparently they’re having great results so far.

Just had a Body Lift/Circumferential Tummy Tuck with Lipo Included , Feeling Excited! – Chicago, IL – I’m having a body lift/circumferential tummy tuck in 4 days with Dr. G. After having lost 108 lbs, I’m finally getting rid of the loose skin hanging around my abdomen and back. My final goal is to at last be able to show my full six pack(only my upper abs are visible now ), which I feel is “B.”

A couple after the surgery I had a question and I was able to contact him directly through “S.”

After consulting 4 other doctors I knew my search was over when I met Dr. Gutowski. His bedside manners were impeccable, he asked the right questions, was realistic with me, and kept me informed the whole time. I knew my case wouldn’t be easy because I have a pre-existing condition that causes Chronic Anemia. For my story to be a success I needed a PS who excels at what he does, and 4 weeks…

“I’ve been a runner all my life but just couldn’t get rid of the love handles around my stomach. After Dr. G’s Power Liposuction (I think that’s what the machine is called), I dropped 4 inched in my pant size and was back to running in 9 days. Not too much pain but a week of bruising and I had to wear a “girdle” for 2 weeks.Original review on DoctorsDig.com”

I saw Dr Gutowski in the Champaign office. He is awesome. He listens to you and what you are wanting to acheive. I have always had a hollowness under my eyes and it has gotten worse with age and medical problems. He gave me Radiesse under my eyes. He has a special technique that gets the filler where it needs to be with very little pain. It looks great! I also had Restylane Lyft for “S.”

DURING/AFTER SURGERY
Chin implant surgery may use either a local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the surgical case. The procedure is performed in an accredited surgical facility. It may last up to 2 hours. A liquid diet is usually recommended in the first 3 days to avoid any pressure around the chin as the sutures are sensitive until healed. The patient is allowed only light activities until the second week. There will be numbness on the area surrounding the implant. While this is normal, the sensation will gradually improve as weeks pass. As with any implant surgery, it generally takes up to a full year for the implant to settle into position and create a final outcome that is soft, natural and normal in feeling.
CHIN AUGMENTATION FAQS
FATTY CHIN?
Chin augmentation is designed to emphasize the jaw line and create a balanced overall facial appearance. If there are excess fat deposits under the chin, which creates an impression of a double chin, liposuction may be performed. Before any cosmetic surgery, it is advised that the patient is close or already at their goal weight so it doesn’t compromise the positive results of surgery. Sometimes, liposuction is sufficient as it already defines the chin without ever needing an implant.
TEMPORARY NUMBNESS?
Yes. With the implant and surrounding tissues adjusting to its new position, there will be a loss of sensation around the chin area and the skin around it will feel tighter than usual. This is an expected reaction post-surgery and shouldn’t be a cause of anxiety. Eventually, sensitivity will return to normal, but it may take several months before the patient can regain sensation. The improvement will be gradual during the course of a year.
OBVIOUS SCARS?
The incisions made during a chin augmentation procedure are placed inconspicuously within the inside of the lip or under the chin, therefore, there is limited to no scarring that occurs with this procedure.
MENTOPLASTY VS GENIOPLASTY?
Mentoplasty is a procedure that adds fullness and shape to the chin. Genioplasty, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that reconstructs the chin bone. Both procedures may be done at the same time as a combination surgery or as a single procedure depending on the patient’s chin condition and aesthetic goals. Genioplasty is not always cosmetic in nature as there are conditions in which the procedure resolves a patient’s bite or other medical concern.
