Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation or chin implant can also be performed in conjunction with other facial procedures to accentuate the lower face and neck line. A chin implant is frequently combined with liposuction of the neck, facelift, neck lift, and rhinoplasty procedures.
Chin Augmentation:
"Achieve Harmony and Confidence with a Perfectly Defined Chin"
Chin augmentation, or genioplasty, is a transformative procedure designed to reshape and enhance the chin’s structure, creating better facial harmony and a stronger profile. As a central facial feature, the chin plays a vital role in balancing the contours of the face and defining the transition between the face and neck. For those with a recessed or weak chin, chin augmentation offers a solution that can significantly enhance the appearance of the entire face. Through the strategic placement of implants, this procedure creates a naturally projected chin that brings proportion to facial features, boosting confidence and overall satisfaction with one’s appearance.
In addition to implants, jawline enhancement with dermal fillers is an increasingly popular, non-surgical option for adding volume and definition to the chin and jaw. At a consultation, Dr. Broumand will discuss the full range of options, including implant materials, sizes, and the choice between surgical or non-surgical augmentation, to help determine the approach that best meets your unique aesthetic goals. With a customized chin augmentation plan, patients can achieve a refined, balanced look that enhances their natural features and aligns with their vision for facial symmetry and beauty.
Goals of Procedures
- Enhance Facial Balance and Harmony:
Create a stronger, more defined chin that brings proportion to the facial features, balancing the face and enhancing the jawline. - Improve Profile Definition:
Strengthen the side profile by extending or shaping the chin to better align with other features like the nose and lips, leading to a more structured and defined appearance. - Address a Recessed or Weak Chin:
Correct a chin that may appear too small or underdeveloped, providing a more prominent and attractive look that complements the natural contours of the face. - Boost Confidence and Self-Esteem:
Many individuals feel more confident and satisfied with their appearance after achieving a chin that matches their aesthetic goals, helping them feel more comfortable in social and professional settings. - Create Long-Lasting Results:
Provide a lasting solution through chin implants or structural changes that maintain their shape and definition for years, without the need for regular maintenance. - Complement Other Facial Procedures:
Chin augmentation is often combined with other procedures like rhinoplasty or jawline contouring to achieve a balanced, cohesive look that enhances overall facial aesthetics.
Procedure time
Typically 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity and whether other procedures are performed in conjunction.
Number of nights in hospital
Chin augmentation is generally performed as an outpatient procedure, so no overnight hospital stay is usually needed. Patients can typically go home the same day.
Recovery
Initial swelling and discomfort may last for 1 to 2 weeks. Most people can resume work and normal activities within 7 to 10 days. Full healing, including the resolution of minor swelling, may take 6 to 12 weeks for final results to be visible.
