Chin implant surgery, also referred to as chin augmentation, is an effective method of enhancing a patient’s facial definition and building a more exact profile. Here’s everything you need to know about this cosmetic procedure and how it can enhance your aesthetic appearance.
Chin implant surgery is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is designed to reshape or enhance the size of a chin. It is done by inserting an implant into a patient’s chin. When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, chin surgery can correct a number of facial concerns, including:
- A receding chin
- Natural imbalances of the chin with the jawline
- Weak chins due to excess fatty tissue
- Facial asymmetry
In some cases, chin surgery may be combined with other facial cosmetic surgeries, such as rhinoplasty or a facelift, to help you achieve the most dramatic and effective aesthetic results.

What Are The Benefits of Chin Implant Surgery?
Chin surgery is a facial cosmetic surgery that can create a more projected or prominent chin in patients who desire more definition in this facial feature. There are a number of ways that this surgery can transform your face and enhance your confidence including:
- Strengthens a weak, underdeveloped chin
- Brings balance to your facial features
- Minimizes the appearance of jowls or a double chin
- Increases height or width of the chin
- Produces a more attractive triangular shape to the jawline
- It is a safe and effective outpatient procedure
A weak chin can throw an entire face out of proportion, making the nose look larger or creating a lack of definition between the jawline and neck. By strengthening the chin profile, your plastic surgeon can help bring balance and proportion to the rest of your face, while creating a stronger jawline and a more youthful facial contour.
The Risks of Chin Surgery
A chin surgery procedure can provide enormous benefits for patients. However, before deciding on any plastic surgery, it is important to fully understand the associated risks so you can make an informed decision about whether this is the right treatment for you.
Some of the risks associated with a chin surgery include:
- Risk of infection
- Risk of nerve damage, causing numbness in the lower lip and chin
- Swelling for several weeks while the chin bone heals
- Adverse reaction to the anesthesia
However, you can greatly reduce your chances of experiencing any surgical complications by working with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
