Chin Augmentation Overview

What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation enhances the size, shape, and definition of the chin using either implants or a surgical technique called sliding genioplasty, which reshapes the chin bone itself. These options allow patients to achieve a more sculpted appearance without the use of artificial materials if desired. This procedure is often sought by individuals looking to balance a smaller or recessed chin, create a more defined jawline, or improve facial proportions for a harmonious look. Each treatment plan is customized to the unique needs and goals of the patient, ensuring results that enhance your natural beauty.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Chin Augmentation?

  • Are bothered by excess skin or fullness under the chin that affects your facial shape

What to Expect During Your Chin Augmentation Procedure

Chin augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to recover in the comfort of your own home. It involves either placing a custom-made silicone implant through a discreet incision or performing a sliding genioplasty to adjust the position of the chin bone itself. The method selected will depend on your specific needs and aesthetic goals. Our surgeons ensure that incisions are well-hidden during the procedure, either inside the mouth or beneath the chin, minimizing visible scarring.

The surgery usually takes about one to two hours, but the exact timing can vary based on the technique used and the complexity of the case. After surgery, a dressing or compression garment is applied to help minimize swelling and support the new contour as you heal. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Recovery and Results of Chin Augmentation

Following chin augmentation, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness in the chin and jaw area. While most patients can return to work within a week, swelling may take several weeks to subside and fully reveal the final results. Over time, you’ll notice a more defined chin and improved balance between your facial features. Many patients find that their new chin shape boosts their confidence and enhances their overall appearance, creating a look that feels authentically them.
