Chin Augmentation

The size, shape, and projection of your chin affects your facial balance from every angle. You may feel your chin is too small, and/or receding. Chin augmentation surgery involves placing a custom implant around the natural chin bone to create more harmonious and balanced look.

How Does Chin Augmentation Work?

Chin augmentation surgery, or “genioplasty,” does more than add volume to your chin; it enhances your jawline and creates harmony among your features. This custom procedure involves an incision beneath the chin. A custom chin implant is then fitted around the chin structure to add volume and projection, for a more proportionate face.

Anesthesia options

Chin augmentation requires anesthesia, which may be local with intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia. Chin augmentation is an outpatient procedure. After it is completed, you will be released to an adult caregiver to transport you home, as you will be unable to drive due to the lingering effects of anesthesia.
