Chin Implant Augmentation - Chin Surgery To Improve The Jawline

Chin Surgery

Chin surgery, commonly referred to as chin augmentation, can achieve a more defined jawline and improve the proportions of your facial profile. The chin is one of the most recognizable features of your face. A strong, graceful-looking jawline promotes confidence and helps to add balance to surrounding facial features. For those who have a rounded or receded jawline, chin implants can help bring about natural-looking definition to the lower face. The goal when performing chin implant surgery is to achieve the ideal jawline. Implants must fit-in with and complement your facial symmetry in order to maintain a natural-looking appearance. Thanks to advancements in facial surgery, specialized minimal incision approaches are available to sculpt a pronounced jawline with virtually no scarring and less downtime. Our chin surgeons utilize innovative facial rejuvenation technology to achieve substantial chin augmentation results without extensive downtime or post-procedure recovery.

Your Chin Surgery Procedure

Depending on the extent of your procedure, your chin implant surgery will be performed at an outpatient surgical facility or a local hospital. Incisions are strategically placed below the chin to remain virtually unnoticeable. Your chin implant is then positioned to rest on your chin bone. Chin implants come in different shapes and sizes and your chin implant surgeon can help choose the type of implant that best fits your facial anatomy, as well as your desired goals.

Benefits Of Combining Chin Implants With Liposuction

Submental liposuction may be combined with chin augmentation to enhance the entire neckline. Small amounts of excess fat can be removed from the neck or chin to improve neck contours that complement the jawline using advanced liposuction techniques. Additionally, chin implant surgery can be utilized alongside other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as facelift surgery, cheek lift surgery, and rhinoplasty.

What To Expect After Undergoing Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation usually results in moderate bruising and swelling for 1 week following surgery. You can expect to return to work and resume daily activities within 1-2 weeks. However, the exact timeframes of your recovery will depend on your individual procedure; these can be further discussed during your chin implant consultation.

Chin implant surgery can yield substantial chin augmentation results. Patients can bring forward a receded or rounded jaw and lengthen their facial profile. You can begin to see results immediately following chin implant surgery and many patients continue to see results for years following treatment.
