Augment the size and shape of your chin

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A guide to plastic surgery regulations in the United Kingdom

The Department of Health decides on health policy and oversees the National Health Serice in the UK.

The General Medical Council (GMC) is the self-regulating body for doctors within the UK. It holds a register of all doctors registered to practice within the UK. The GMC provides detailed information online about the current status of all registered doctors. Compensation claims will rest on proof that a failure in the 'Duty to Care' has resulted in injury - these claims are persued throught the civil courts.

The British Medical Association is the chief professional organization for doctors in the UK.

BAPRAS, the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons is the main organization that plastic surgeons will belong to.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons represents plastic surgeons who specialise in cosmetic surgery and all its members are on the Specialist Register of Plastic Surgery.

Education

The UK has 32 medical schools spread over a number of administrative regions. Training is usually 5 or 6 years in length though 4 year graduate programmes have become available. The difference in training periods generally applies to theoretical work with set minimums in place for clinical study.

Doctors are ethically responsible for keeping their training up to date through Continuing Professional Development (CPD). All professional associations promote continuing education and organize training. CPD is not mandatory though failure to engage may result in a doctors ability to maintain their 'Duty to Care' coming into question.

Complaints

The GMC will deal with complaints against doctors but its powers only enable it to limit or remove the right to practice: It does not issue fines or grant compensation. The GMC strikes off about 30 doctors each year.

Other complaints should go first to one of the local healthcare authorites.

There is also a health ombudsman (one for each of England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland), independant of the profession.

Storage and Access to Medical Records

The UK has a data protection act. This both protects data and covers the right of an individual to access data held on them - including medical data. Furthermore medical data requested by an individual must be presented in an intelligible manner and within a maximun of 40 days from a formal request being made.
