Our Achievements
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can help individuals with recessed chins achieve their facial profile goals. During the surgical procedure, one of our board-certified facial plastic surgeons will make a small incision in the chin area and place an implant over the chin bone for a permanent solution. The implants are designed to be stable, durable, and provide natural-looking results. With chin augmentation, patients can enjoy enhanced aesthetic appeal and improved confidence. Chin enhancement is an excellent option for those looking to accomplish their cosmetic goals without any major changes to their face.
This procedure is known for its relatively quick recovery time, and patients can typically resume their regular activities within a short period. Chin augmentation offers a subtle yet impactful transformation, allowing individuals to harmonize their facial features and achieve a more balanced and confident appearance. If you’re considering chin augmentation to enhance your facial profile, consult with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options and ensure the procedure aligns with your cosmetic objectives. Your journey to a more confident and aesthetically pleasing you begins with a consultation.

Chin Augmentation Ideal Candidate – The Consultation
The ideal candidate for chin augmentation may consult with Dr. Agarwal, Dr. Maloney, or Dr. Holmes. During the consultation, your surgeon will discuss your medical history and evaluate the soft tissues of your face to determine if you are an ideal candidate for chin augmentation. Moreover, for male patients, chin augmentation for men is increasingly popular, offering a way to enhance a more defined, masculine jawline that aligns with their aesthetic goals.
Your surgeon may also suggest additional procedures such as jawline definition or fat reduction surgery to enhance your youthful appearance. With chin augmentation, patients can enjoy improved harmony between their facial features, enhanced aesthetics, and improved confidence. This is an opportunity for the patient to understand the benefits and risks associated with chin enhancement surgery and to set realistic expectations for the outcome.
Chin Augmentation Preparation
Before undergoing chin augmentation, patients should prepare for the procedure. During their initial consultation, Dr. Agarwal, Dr. Maloney, or Dr. Holmes will provide detailed pre- and post-operative instructions that they should follow. Depending on the specifics of the surgery, they may suggest that patients adjust their diet or refrain from taking certain medications. Additionally, individuals must stop smoking at least two weeks prior to their procedure and should arrange for someone to drive them home after the surgery. It is important for patients to follow all pre-operative and post-operative instructions closely to ensure a successful procedure.

The Chin Augmentation Procedure
Chin augmentation typically involves a detailed and meticulous surgical procedure tailored to enhance facial features. The process begins with a careful assessment of the patient’s facial anatomy to determine the ideal chin size and shape that would best complement their overall facial structure. The goal is to achieve a more assertive jawline, which is often associated with a strong and confident appearance.
The surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and IV Sedation. A small incision is made underneath the chin. Through this incision, the surgeon carefully positions the silastic chin implant, made of silicone and well-tolerated by the human body. Since the implant is solid, there is no risk of leakage.
The choice of the implant’s size and shape is crucial in chin augmentation. It varies significantly based on the individual’s facial balance and aesthetic goals. The options include:
- Anatomic Implants: Designed to provide a more prominent and elongated chin, enhancing jawline definition.
- Mandibular Prejowl Implants: Designed to increase projection and also fill common prejowl indentations (indentations to each side of the chin on the front view that are between the chin and jowls).
- Square or Angular Implants: Ideal for creating a more chiseled chin profile.
Post-implantation, the surgeon meticulously closes the incision, ensuring minimal downtime and rapid recovery. The entire procedure typically lasts less than one hour, depending on the complexity and the specific techniques used. The result is a more balanced facial appearance, significantly enhancing the patient’s self-esteem and aligning with their aesthetic goals.

Recovery Time After a Chin Augmentation
The recovery time after a chin augmentation procedure differs from patient to patient, however, most patients can expect to resume light activities within a few days and more strenuous activity after two weeks. After chin implant surgery, patients should avoid extreme movements of the chin area in order to allow proper healing. Patients should also be aware that some soreness and swelling are normal for several weeks following the implant procedure and that their final results will become visible after this period of time.
Achieve a Stronger Jawline with Chin Augmentation for Men
Chin augmentation for men focuses on enhancing the masculine features of the face. Our surgeons use chin implants designed to increase projection and sometimes the width of the chin. This can improve the appearance of your neck on profile, and help balance your facial features. For example, bringing the chin forward can make a seemingly prominent nose appear less prominent. Drs. Agarwal, Maloney, and Holmes carefully analyze their patients’ faces from all angles to determine if a chin implant would be beneficial. This procedure not only improves your physical appearance but also strengthens your self-perception and presence.
Combining Chin Augmentation with Other Facial Procedures
Combining chin augmentation with other facial procedures is particularly beneficial for men seeking a comprehensive enhancement of their facial aesthetics. For male patients, augmenting the chin often goes hand-in-hand with procedures that define the jawline or address issues like excess neck fat or sagging skin and muscle (i.e. UpliftTM lower face and neck lift), creating a more masculine and assertive facial profile. Sometimes rhinoplasty is combined with a chin implant to balance a man’s profile. This integrated approach not only ensures a harmonious facial balance but also addresses common concerns among men, such as achieving a stronger, more defined chin and jawline. By tailoring the combination of procedures to the unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals of each male patient, surgeons can create a more impactful and satisfying transformation.
