Female Chin Implant

The chin is the foundation of the face. A small chin or under projected chin has a major effect on its balance and harmony.

What are my options for a small chin?

Facial fillers may be used as a temporary non-surgical option for chin augmentation; however, a solid silicone chin implant provides a more significant and permanent chin augmentation result.

Does a chin implant look natural?

A silicone chin implant imparts the look and feel of natural bone, and can be customized to add any combination of length, projection and contour needed to achieve your ideal look. During your consultation, we perform a comprehensive facial analysis and will discuss the options available to help you reach your goal.

How is a silicone chin implant placed?

Depending on the chin implant selected, outpatient chin augmentation surgery may be performed under twilight anesthesia or mild general anesthesia. A chin implant is placed through a micro-incision hidden in the natural contours of the chin. The chin implant sits flush in a pocket on top of the existing chin bone, and beneath the surrounding muscles. The chin implant is secured to the underlying bone to prevent any movement and to allow an earlier return to normal activity. Results will be immediately apparent with final contour evident once all swelling resolves.

Will a chin implant leave a scar?

The incision needed to place a chin implant is small and well hidden in a natural crease beneath the chin. This access site heals quickly and even in the early stages can only be seen with the head tilted backwards. Once the initial stitches are removed and scabbing has resolved, the incision can be covered with concealer make-up for further camouflage, if desired.

Can other female face surgery procedures be done at the same time?

A chin augmentation for women can be done alone, but is often combined with other female plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift or upper lip lift to balance to the face.
