Hi, I'm Dr. Young Facial Plastic Surgeon Seattle. We're doing a chin implant.
A chin implant revision. Another one that we want to demonstrate.
Right here we want to show you where we are at.
We just exposed this chin implant and we took it out.
It's a small implant that you can see. Usually nowadays they don't put..
these types of implants in anymore. And this is an implant that was placed by another surgeon.
And we're here to revise it and make it look a little bit better.
Nowadays they don't make these implants too small.
They now have a lateral extension to the chin implants. so...
what we're going to do. We just took this chin implant out.
Our plan is to put another implant in that will have more of a lateral extension.
Although this is a lot bigger than this old implant.
We're going to shape this quite a bit to fit ths implant inside this pocket.
So we're going to make our implant much smaller.
And as you can tell there is definitely a larger lateral extension.
And that was one of the main issues that this patient had with this older implant.
He didn't like how it was just making his chin stick out just here.
And kind of divot here which he really didn't like.
So we're going to improve that with this implant.
And we're going to do another part where we're going to show us putting this in after
we carve it down. Thank you!
