How a Chin Augmentation Can Change the Entire Facial Profile
Your chin plays an important role in defining and balancing your features. People who have a small or weak chin may benefit from chin augmentation. This procedure gives you a stronger chin shape and a more harmonious facial profile.
What is Chin Augmentation?
If you want to strengthen and improve a weak chin, chin augmentation or genioplasty can provide results. This procedure uses a small silicone implant to give your chin shape and projection. Silicone is a safe, long-lasting implant material that is used in many medical implants and devices. Unlike silicone breast implants, a chin implant is solid and has no risk of leaking or rupturing.

How Chin Augmentation Can Change the Entire Facial Profile
A weak chin affects your features in more ways than you might think. While you may notice that it affects the shape of your lower face, you may not realize it can make your nose and other features look out of balance. A chin implant can achieve results such as:
- A balance between the chin, nose, and other features
- A more defined neck and jawline
- A more contoured lower face
- A reduction in the appearance of a double chin
Chin augmentation is often combined with other procedures, especially rhinoplasty (nose surgery) or a neck lift. A chin implant, in combination with rhinoplasty, gives you a stronger, more defined profile. If you have sagging around your neck and under your chin, a neck lift can add definition and make your chin look more sculpted.
How Does Chin Augmentation Work?
Your surgeon will work with you to choose the best implant for achieving your desired results. They will make an incision under the chin or inside the mouth to place the implant. The implant is placed against the jaw bone, resulting in a natural look and feel. Once placed, the implant can remain in place for a lifetime. You can also have it safely removed at any time if you want. Chin augmentation usually takes about an hour.

What is Recovery Like After Chin Augmentation?
Most people experience some soreness and a tight or stretched feeling after getting a chin implant. These effects will improve within about a week. You will also have some swelling that resolves over the next few weeks. We may recommend a soft diet for the first few days. Limit physical activity for about ten days. Your full results will become visible by six weeks when all the swelling has faded.
Am I a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for chin augmentation if you have a small or weak chin. Chin implants are FDA-approved medical devices and are safe for almost anyone. You may not be a good candidate if you have certain health problems or are pregnant.
