Chin & Cheek Augmentation

Summary of Procedure

The chin is equally important as the eyes and nose in overall facial aesthetics. In men, a strong chin is a very important contribution to the masculine look. Today, more women want stronger, more well-defined chins and noses than ever before. A chin implant can create a more balanced profile by strengthening a weak, receding chin, reducing a deep fold under the lower lip, or widening a small chin. The bone of the chin can be moved forward or backward, made wider or narrower, shorter or longer, to provide unlimited options for refining the chin. A wide variety of implant shapes and materials are available to permit reshaping the chin to the optimal contours.

Chin surgery is performed under local anesthesia, general anesthesia or IV sedation in our office surgical suite. An incision is made inside the lower lip or under the chin and contouring or moving the bone or placing an implant modifies the chin. There is mild discomfort, swelling and bruising for a few days.
