Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia, Dr. Choroomi prefers to make an incision underneath the chin to hide any visible signs of scarring. To insert a chin implant, tissue is first separated from the jawbone to create a pocket. The implant is then placed inside the pocket and secured to the bone with sutures. If the aim is chin reduction, bone may be filed or shaved down to achieve a more pleasing shape and profile. A dressing will be placed under your chin to support the soft tissue for 7 days.

Recovery after Chin Augmentation

It is normal to experience tenderness in the chin area following surgery. It is advised to eat soft foods or liquids as the ability to chew will be limited for a few days. You can expect swelling and numbness in the chin or face, typically lasting a few weeks. Sutures will be removed post-operative day 7 and normal activity may be resumed after 10 days.

Non-Surgical Alternative for Chin Augmentation

Non-surgical chin augmentation is an excellent option for patients who may be hesitant about having surgery, need a minor aesthetic correction. When facial fillers are injected under the skin of the chin, they can add volume, improving the jawline or a weak chin.  There is minimal discomfort and next to no downtime, however, this treatment is only a temporary fix and will need to be maintained.
