A weak or under-defined chin can impact your profile and overall facial harmony. If you’re seeking a solution, chin implants may be an excellent choice. Dr. Stein, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with 26 years of experience, provides natural-looking chin augmentation procedures to help patients reach their cosmetic goals.

What is Chin Augmentation at Stein Plastic Surgery?

At Stein Plastic Surgery, Dr. Stein enhances the chin with silicone implants. During a consultation, Dr. Stein discusses your aesthetic goals, implant size, and shape. Once your preferences are set, you can schedule the procedure.

The surgery typically takes 30 to 60 minutes under local anesthesia with IV sedation for relaxation. Dr. Stein creates a small incision beneath the chin to place the implant over the jawbone. After achieving the right placement, he sutures the incision and applies bandages.

Patients are monitored in a recovery room, and after a few hours, a friend or family member can drive you home to rest and continue your recovery.

How Long is Recovery From a Chin Augmentation?

Expect some bruising, swelling, and tenderness during the first week of recovery. Using ice packs and pain medication can help alleviate these symptoms, and Dr. Stein recommends sleeping in an elevated position to improve circulation. Most patients can resume light activities within 4-7 days, while full recovery typically takes up to two weeks. Avoid activities that could disturb the implant’s position for several weeks post-procedure.

What Results Will I See With Chin Augmentation?

Many patients are surprised by the positive effect a chin implant has on their overall appearance. A chin implant can improve profile definition, reduce neck bulge, and balance facial features. For some, a chin augmentation achieves results similar to a facelift.

How Much Does Chin Augmentation Cost?

The cost of chin augmentation ranges between $2,000 and $4,000, based on factors like practice location, implant type, and provider experience. Costs may increase if combined with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty or liposuction. Affordable financing options are available at Stein Plastic Surgery.

Am I a Candidate for Chin Augmentation?

If you feel your profile would benefit from a more defined chin, you may be a good candidate for chin augmentation. A consultation with Dr. Stein can confirm whether this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals.
