What is Chin Implant?

Chin Implants, also known as Mentoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of your chin. The goal of this procedure is to improve the balance and proportion of the face, creating a more harmonious profile. During the surgery, a small incision is made either under the chin or inside the mouth, and a customized implant is carefully positioned and secured to augment the chin. This can help provide a more defined and contoured chin, enhance facial symmetry, and improve overall facial aesthetics.

At Dr. Bhat’s office in Tampa, FL, you can expect a welcoming and comfortable environment where your safety and well-being are paramount. Chin implant surgery is often performed under anesthesia, and the procedure typically takes about an hour to complete.

I had my very first Botox and lip filler done by Dr. Deepa Bhat. She is very caring and is the sweetest. She made the process seamless and painless! I had no anxiety over what I’m going to look like after because I knew I was in great hands of an aesthetic plastic surgeon. I LOVE the natural results! I look more youthful and refreshed. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Bhat is an amazing surgeon (and person)! I had an extended tummy tuck and lipo 360 and I have never been happier with the way I look. I healed without issue, my scar looks fantastic and most importantly, Dr. Bhat was there for me every step of the way. I would recommend Dr. Bhat to anybody looking to gain self confidence through surgery.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Bhat for lip filler and botox and it was a wonderful experience. She walked in the room with a warm smile and instantly put me at ease. She was very attentive and I felt that she really listened to my goals and desired outcome. She was gentle and meticulous and my lips turned out absolutely beautiful! My botox was placed perfectly as well. She made the experience easy and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be going to see her for my future cosmetic needs!
