    Chin Enhancement

    The chin is key to the attractive face. It really defines not only the neck but the entire face.

    With the increasing popularity of image centered social media, non-surgical chin definition procedures have grown in popularity. That selfie spoiling weak chin can now be fixed in a few minutes with a sophisticated chin augmentation procedure at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin.

    Cosmetic surgeons and doctors had no short-term option for treating weak chins until specialty lifting dermal fillers came along filling the gap between permanent implants and short lasting generic fillers. In the past, the only option was a one-size-fits-all chin implant. Chin implants weren’t ideal options due to lack of individual customization, you see; every chin is different!. Now we have the ability to shape someone’s chin based on and in harmony with the rest of their unique facial features.

    A person with a stronger chin is perceived to be stronger, smarter, and more of a determined type of person. It’s no coincidence that super heroes and most successful fashion models have this distinctive feature.

    When patients come to see if they’re a candidate for a chin job, I often take a side profile photo and draw a line from the innermost corner of their eye past their nose, and down toward their chin. If that line continues to be straight, then their chin is proportionate to their face. If it goes inward at an angle toward their neck, then they have a recessive chin. This is where specialist dermal fillers can help.

    For patients who are hesitant about the non-surgical procedure, I offer them a salt water trial where I inject the saline water where I would normally put the fillers so they can see the results. The liquid only stays in the area for about five minutes and gives them a great idea of the level of augmentation they desire. Once the patient decides if he or she wants to move forward, they have a few options: If you’re looking for something more temporary, I would recommend going with hyaluronic acid options like Belotero or Juvéderm. These will last four to six months and cost around €450 to €650 depending on how many syringes are needed to build out the chin. If you’re looking for results to last longer up then I will recommend Perlane or Radiesse which last about a year. For more durable results, Ellansé is on a league of its own lasting 3 or 4 years at a time. Ellansé is made up of microscopic bio-stimulator beads which is why it lasts so long. Since the results are so immediate, if you don’t like what you see, the hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved away with an injected enzyme called hyaluronidase.

    Non Surgical Nose Job

    Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

    The nose is the central feature of the face. The non-surgical nose reshaping is a relatively new treatment concept with little down time. The innovative technique was made possible by:

    • High lifting potential dermal fillers
    • Long lasting dermal fillers

    The nose reshaping procedure although straightforward, it requires an aesthetic eye and advanced training to achieve the changes possible to positively alter the shape of your nose with a few strategically placed injections. After all, small changes to the nose alter the person’s appearance considerably. There are many placement options each of which are unique to each individual patient.

    The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and takes about 15 minutes, and sometimes referred to as the 15 minutes nose job. The results are visible immediately. Many patients can return to work or social activities straight away with minimal discomfort, mild swelling and minor bruising.

    After a thorough interactive assessment, I can decide with you if you are a suitable candidate for this technique as well as the desired final shape you require. During the procedure I place a series of injections of long lasting dermal filler such as Radiesse or Ellanse to enhance the shape of your nose.

    Ideal Candidate for the Procedure

    Ideal nose shapes for correction are patients who wish to diminish the appearance of central hump or multiple bumps or irregularities on their nose. Also patients who have a flat nasal bridge, and wish to create a bridge or augment their original bridge, such as commonly requested in the Oriental patients and those who have a down turning nasal tip.

    Nose reshaping is popular for both men and women. This is one cosmetic procedure where the ratio of the two genders availing of the correction are similar. Patients who have a non-surgical nose job may have to have the procedure repeated when the filler dissolves, and that could be every 12 months for Radiesse while Ellansé lasts much longer. There are 4 sub-types of Ellanse lasting for 2 years, 3 years or 4 years depending on the type of Ellansé sub-type used. The advantage of this is that if the patient does not like the result of the non-surgical rhinoplasty, it is not permanent, while if they do (most likely they do!) then we can use a filler with long lasting correction.
