All 27 Clinics that provide Chin Implant in Samut Sakhon Province

Chin shaping surgery can involve reducing or increasing the size and altering the overall shape of your chin. This surgery is often carried out along with nose shaping (rhinoplasty) in order to create balanced facial features.

Length

Chin implant surgery usually lasts just an hour, but can take longer depending on the exact work required.

Procedure

The procedure itself can be carried out in a number of ways, typical using a small incision inside the lower lip or else just underneath the chin. Either bone is removed from the jaw or small implants are placed against the jaw in order to achieve the desired result. The procedure can be done under local anaesthetic but is typically done under general anaesthetic if combined with other surgeries.

Recovery

Chin shaping does not always require an overnight stay, but you should be collected by a friend or family afterwards. Typically, you can return to normal activities after a week of rest.

Risks

Chin shaping carries many of the same risks involved in other cosmetic procedures. The shape may not turn out exactly as you imagined it, an implant may shift position, there are the usual risks involved in having local or general anaesthetics, there may be a loss of sensation around the area of the incision and/or implant, and there are the usual risks of developing an infection or blood clots associated with any surgical procedure.

Organizations

The Ministry of Health is responsible for the overall direction of healthcare in Thailand. This includes the creation of a comprehensive hospital accreditation system.

Registration of all doctors qualified to practice within the country is the responsibility of the Thai Medical Council.

The Thai Medical Association is the main professional society representing the interests of the medical profession in Thailand. Plastic Surgeons should be registered with The Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand.

Education

Thai doctors train for 5 or 6 years before qualifying as a Doctor of Medicine. Graduates of the state medical schools are then required to spend 3 years as medical interns in a state hospital.

Thailand has 45 recognized medical specialties of which plastic surgery is one. Specialist qualification for plastic surgery follows qualification at General Surgery and requires 2/3 years of training in addition to the 3 years surgical specialisation.

Medical Council of Thailand has created a Center for Continuing Medical Education to promote professional development among the country's physicians.

Complaints

Disagreements with specific doctors should be addressed to the Thai Medical Council. Institutions approved or accredited by the Ministry of Health may be disciplined by the Ministry, with the Ministry having the ability to remove the right to provide care.

Cases involving criminal malpractice may be addressed directly to the civil courts. There is a Patient Bill of Rights in Thailand and any violation of this bill is grounds for public complaint.

Storage and Access to Medical Records

Thai doctors have an ethical obligation to protect the personal information of their patients.
