Chin Augmentation Overview

Enhancing Your Profile with Chin Augmentation

At Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery, we offer chin augmentation in Jacksonville with and without an implant. The use of implants varies depending on the patient's aesthetic goal and helps to reshape the chin and jawline for a more defined look. Surgery known as “sliding genioplasty” is chin augmentation without an implant. This treatment method uses your own bone to augment the chin to create the desired look.

Surgical Technique for Chin Implants

Chin augmentation is an outpatient procedure that is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. The entire surgery typically takes about an hour to complete, but it could take longer depending on the method used.

A common technique for chin augmentation uses a silicone implant that is moved through an incision that’s made under the chin. The implant is then placed directly over the bone along the lower jaw. A pocket might be constructed to hold it, which may involve shaving the jawbone to help fit the implant in place.

Surgical sutures will be used to attach the implant to the chin bone. In some cases, the incision will be made on the inside of the mouth. Scarring is very minimal with chin augmentation surgery because the incision is placed either on the inside of the mouth, where it is completely hidden, or it is made under the chin. Even the incision made under the chin will be mostly concealed or hard to see during social situations.

Immediately after surgery, medical tape or a compression dressing will be applied to help protect the implant while the jaw recovers.

What Will My Recovery and Results Be Like After My Chin Augmentation?

Recovery from chin augmentation in Jacksonville with an implant usually takes about 4-6 weeks. During this time, the swelling, discomfort, and numbness that occurs in the chin and lower lip will gradually improve. Most patients are pleased with their results and feel that they have a stronger, more defined profile because of the surgery. It will be very normal to feel numbness and a change in skin sensation following chin augmentation surgery.

As the implant gets used to its new habitat, nearby tissue and jawline structures will also get used to having it there. Several weeks after surgery, this heightened sensation will begin to subside, and over time, normal sensitivity will gradually reappear. It may take up to a full year for patients to regain full sensitivity.

Combine a Genioplasty with Your Chin Augmentation

In addition to chin augmentation with implants, some individuals may be suitable candidates for genioplasty. This procedure reshapes the chin by surgically repositioning the chin bone. It is more complex than implants alone and is sometimes considered reconstructive surgery. In some cases, genioplasty will be done in combination with neck liposuction and chin implants.

Chin Augmentation FAQ

How much does chin augmentation cost?

What about a double chin?

Can chin augmentation be reversed?

Will my smile be affected by a chin implant?

Can chin augmentation enhance my side profile without changing my front view?

How much does chin augmentation cost?

Most patients can expect to pay between $5,000-$7,000 for a chin augmentation procedure. The exact and final cost will vary depending on the extent of the surgery. We offer two financing options, CareCredit® and Alphaeon® Credit, to help pay for these procedures if needed.

What about a double chin?

Chin implants are designed to offer patients a sharper, stronger look to their jawline. Those who have a double chin may be better candidates for a liposuction procedure where the fat within the chin and neck is removed. Sometimes this technique alone can create a new profile and look without needing to have an implant procedure.

Can chin augmentation be reversed?

Yes, chin implants can be removed if desired. In some cases, patients may choose to reverse the augmentation or opt for a different size or shape of the implant. However, it’s essential to discuss long-term goals with your surgeon before surgery to ensure the best results.

Will my smile be affected by a chin implant?

While there is an adjustment period after surgery, most patients find that their smile returns to normal once the swelling subsides. Your surgeon will carefully place the implant to avoid disrupting muscles involved in facial expressions.

Can chin augmentation enhance my side profile without changing my front view?

Yes, chin augmentation can specifically target your side profile, improving your jawline and neck angle while maintaining your facial features from the front. This precision allows for a subtle enhancement without drastically altering your overall appearance.
