If you have a small chin or one that lacks projection, you may have been self-conscious about it for a long time. Your chin plays an important role in balancing your other facial features and defining your neck and jaw so that a receding chin can affect your entire face. Fortunately, a chin implant is an effective way to achieve a strong, sculpted chin that gives your face overall harmony. 

What is a Chin Implant?

While a small or weak chin can have a major effect on your appearance, correcting it is a fairly minor procedure. Chin augmentation is performed using a small, solid silicone chin implant. This implant is placed against your jawbone using a small incision under the chin. This quick procedure uses local anesthetic or IV sedation and usually takes less than an hour. The implant adds volume and definition while looking and feeling natural.

How Much Does a Chin Implant Cost?

The cost of a chin implant, like any plastic surgery procedure, varies widely. Factors that affect the cost of your chin augmentation include:

  • Your location
  • Your provider’s skill and experience
  • The details of your procedure
  • The type of anesthesia used
  • Other fees and expenses

Facial implants at Stein Plastic Surgery are performed in our accredited surgical facility. The average cost of chin augmentation ranges from $3,000 to $5,000. While cost is always a factor when considering a procedure, you should also consider your surgeon’s experience with facial implants. A skilled surgeon like Dr. Stein will sculpt a strong, attractive chin that defines your features and provides lasting results. 

What are the Benefits of a Chin Implant?

A chin implant can do more than give your chin more projection. If you feel like your nose looks too large, you may find that chin augmentation restores harmony and makes your other features look more balanced. This procedure can give you a tremendous boost of confidence thanks to your strong profile and defined jaw and chin. 

What is Recovery Like After a Chin Implant?

Bruising, swelling, and soreness may occur after your chin augmentation. These effects will fade after a few days. You may feel more comfortable sticking to soft foods while the area remains sore. You may be able to return to work in a week or less and resume most activities after two weeks. However, you will need to avoid any activities that could bump your implant out of place, including contact sports, until it has healed completely. 

How Long Does a Chin Implant Last?

Solid silicone implants like the ones used for chin augmentation are made to last a lifetime. They never need to be removed, so you can continue to enjoy the benefits for as long as you want. The implant will also never lose shape, so your stronger profile is there to stay.
