What are the dangers of chin augmentation?

Nowadays, people's pursuit of beauty can be said to have reached a very extreme period of time, because in life, if a woman is not good-looking, she may not even be able to find a partner. This is very realistic, even though there are still more men than women in today's society. Therefore, in order to make themselves more beautiful, some women have to choose plastic surgery, and among various plastic surgery projects, chin augmentation is very popular. So, what are the dangers of chin augmentation?

What are the dangers of chin augmentation: the chin becomes hard

Silicone chin pads are relatively safe, but it also depends on the specific situation. Many people experience a hardening of their chin after using silicone chin pads. This is because the doctor's violent technique during the chin pad surgery causes excessive bleeding, which leads to a hematoma in the chin and causes symptoms of silicone capsular contracture (capsular contracture refers to the body forming a membrane that tightly wraps the chin prosthesis, which can become hard in severe cases). When you get older, the silicone implant in your chin will become hard after being installed for a long time.

What are the dangers of chin augmentation: light transmission phenomenon

There are many kinds of materials for chin padding. Among them, the silicone material used for chin padding has a certain degree of irritation to our human tissue cells. It is composed of organic silicon molecules. This material will cause some changes in the tissues that are in contact with it over time, manifested as thinning of the skin and subcutaneous tissue or dilation and congestion of subcutaneous capillaries. Therefore, after padding the chin with a silicone prosthesis, the chin area can often be seen shining and translucent under strong light, giving people the illusion that the skin has become thinner.

What are the dangers of chin augmentation: infection of expanded tissue

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is also a material that can be used for chin padding. The structure of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is composed of countless micropores, which form "dead spaces". Once bacteria enter, it is difficult to remove them through conventional methods such as flushing. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene containing bacteria will inevitably cause infection if implanted in the chin.

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is soft and difficult to process. Some inexperienced doctors will prolong the time spent carving the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene during chin augmentation surgery, thus prolonging the time the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is exposed to the air. Since the air in the operating room cannot be absolutely sterile, the chance of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene being contaminated by airborne bacteria is greater than that of silicone. This makes many people feel the dangers of chin augmentation and infection when they are older.
