What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation surgery is a procedure that involves the insertion of an implant to enhance the projection or size of the chin. Through a carefully planned incision beneath the chin, a customized implant is positioned to achieve the desired profile, aiming for improved facial harmony and a more defined chin structure. Additionally, fat can be harvested from the belly or thigh and transferred to the chin for a more subtle change. 

What are the benefits of Chin Augmentation?

What to Expect?

On the day of surgery, your care team will ensure a pleasant, private experience. You will be given local anesthesia to ensure your comfort and may choose to undergo general anesthesia based on your personal preferences.

Once comfortable, Dr. Tran will make a small incision under your chin in a natural skin crease and will create a pocket sized for your custom implant. The implant will be positioned securely to enhance your chin’s appearance. The process is meticulous, aiming for precision and aesthetic enhancement. Once the implant is in place, the incisions will be closed using sutures. These sutures will be removed five days after surgery.

If the decision is made for Chin Augmentation using Fat Transfer instead of a custom implant, fat will be harvested from excess areas, such as the belly or outer thigh. This fat is carefully processes to remove all impurities and then injected into targeted areas of your chin to improve the shape and contour.

How is the Recovery for Chin Augmentation?

Surgery is about one and a half hours and you may go home the same day. You'll be discharged with specific post-operative care instructions, including details on managing discomfort, caring for the incision site, and what to expect during the initial stages of recovery. You will have swelling and possibly bruising around your jawline. This will subside over the first 10-14 days. Most patients take about 5-7 days off work or social activities.

You will have a follow up appointment five days after surgery to monitor healing and remove any non-dissolvable sutures. The full results typically can be seen 4-6 weeks after surgery.
