What Exactly Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation and chin shaping is a procedure that enhances the shape and position of your chin, striking a better balance between your facial features. A weak chin might be giving your face an unbalanced appearance, potentially even making your nose look larger and your cheeks less defined.
What Are the Benefits of Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation and chin shaping can help your chin have a more defined appearance, while also helping with sagging skin.
What About Chin Implants?
Chin implants are small pouches that contain silicone gel, which we recommend for those with under-developed chins, who might be looking for a fuller, more defined chin.
Am I the Ideal Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
If you’re an adult and you feel like your chin is poorly-defined, you’re the perfect candidate for chin augmentation! We recommend chin shaping for those who may have a decently defined chin, but wish to correct some type of abnormality impacting its appearance.
What Should I Do Before My Chin Augmentation?
To prepare you for your chin augmentation, we’ll set up an in-person consultation with one of our expert, board-certified surgeons. We’ll walk you through each step of the procedure, explaining how it’ll improve your chin and help you achieve the look you want most.
What Can I Expect on The Day of Chin Augmentation?
Your surgeon will make incisions for your chin augmentation or chin shaping inside your lower lip or under your chin, before removing bone, cartilage, and soft tissue to shape its appearance. If an implant is used, it will be inserted through the incision.
