Understanding Chin Implant Procedures

The shape and position of the chin can significantly impact overall facial aesthetics. A small or recessed chin may create visual imbalances in facial proportions, potentially exaggerating the appearance of the nose or mouth area.

Customized Chin Augmentation Approach

Dr. Ricciardelli brings over 25 years of facial surgery experience to create natural-looking chin enhancements. The goal is to achieve subtle yet transformative changes that restore facial harmony.

Surgical Procedure Details

  • Soft, flexible, biocompatible implant insertion
  • Small, well-concealed incision under the chin
  • Procedure typically takes 1-2 hours
  • Minimal recovery time (average 4 days)

Non-Surgical Alternative

For patients not ready for surgical intervention, dermal fillers offer an excellent non-surgical chin augmentation option. Dr. Ricciardelli can help determine the most appropriate approach during consultation.

Combining Procedures for Comprehensive Results

Chin augmentation can be strategically combined with complementary procedures such as rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, or facelift to achieve comprehensive facial balance and aesthetic goals.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates include individuals with:

  • Small or receding chin
  • Desire to improve facial proportions
  • Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Expert Surgical Approach

Dr. Ricciardelli's unique expertise includes board certification in both head, neck, and facial surgery and plastic surgery, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetic refinement.

After reading the previous review and having a horrible experience myself, I'd never recommend anyone let this man touch your face. He should be ashamed of himself. Ariel, if you see this please reach out to me.

I had a bad experience getting my rhinoplasty from Dr. Ricciardelli. I had the procedure done April 3rd of 2023, so it's been over a year and a half and I am very unsatisfied with the results. My nose had no crookedness before but now my septum is wavy and thick with scar tissue. Very asymmetrical. One of my nostrils is now significantly smaller than the other. I told Dr. R about how I wasn't as satisfied as I had hoped and he told me for a year to wait for the swelling to go down, which wasn't my main concern, then told me to use Flonase allergy spray. When I started crying because my concerns were avoided and I was frustrated about it all, he told me to LOOK INTO COUNCELING. He even finally agreed it was crooked but tried to tell me it already was before. That was hard to hear and its a shame that he treated me like that after he messed up my nose. I have not gone back to get it fixed there because he said the procedure would be of no cost but the anesthetics would cost thousands. Not risking him making it worse. The nurses and front staff are nice at least.

I can’t say enough about the positive experience we had with Dr. Ricciardelli. I had a very bad scar on my stomach from a previous abdominal surgery and he made it look amazing. He and his team treated me with the upmost compassion and made me feel like what I wanted was going to be top priority. Dr Ricciardelli is a gifted surgeon and is at the top of his field. Thank you for changing my life.

I saw Dr. Ricciardelli in Supply and Wilmington for a melanoma surgery on my face. He felt like a friend who was genuinely interested in my care and outcome. Even more than me. I only cared about getting the melanoma out of there whereas he also cared about the scarring afterwards. Allison and all the other staff were great as well. They all made me feel genuinely cared for.

Very poor bedside manner but he has all the credentials to conduct cosmetic/plastic surgery. Brace yourself for his detachment.
