A chin that is proportionally aligned with your nose and forehead creates the ideal, balanced profile.
The implant creates a more defined transition between the neck and the face, eliminating the appearance of a "weak" or receding chin.
By providing forward projection to the chin, the procedure often tightens the skin of the upper neck, leading to a more youthful and sculpted look.
A stronger chin can make a slightly larger nose appear more balanced and less dominant on the face.
Individuals who feel their chin is too small or "receding" in comparison to their nose and other facial features are excellent candidates.
Those looking to improve facial symmetry or enhance the definition between their jawline and neck should consider the surgery.
Candidates must have realistic expectations about the outcomes and be in good overall health for a smooth recovery.
You will be placed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation for complete comfort throughout the procedure.
Dr. Johnson makes a small, discreet incision—usually under the chin or inside the mouth—and creates a pocket to perfectly fit your customized implant.
The silicone or Medpor implant is secured to the bone, the incision is closed with sutures, and a compression dressing is applied for support during early healing.
Pairing chin augmentation with a nose job provides the ultimate balance, as correcting one feature often highlights the imbalance in the other.
Removing excess fat from the neck and under the chin further sharpens the jawline and enhances the contour created by the new chin projection.
For older patients, a chin implant can be performed alongside a lift to restore youthful projection and firmly support the newly tightened skin.
Non-surgical options, like injectables, can be used around the jawline or in the chin to refine results or provide a subtle contouring alternative.
Expect moderate swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which is easily managed with prescribed medication.
Most non-dissolvable sutures are removed at this time, and many patients feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous work and social activities.
