A weak chin can sometimes lead to a less defined profile. While there are various ways to enhance the appearance of a weak chin, chin implants may be an ideal solution. Dr. Adam Stein, a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon with over 26 years of experience, has helped countless patients improve their profiles.
What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation, or chin implant surgery, involves placing a silicone implant to add volume and definition to the chin. This procedure can be combined with a facelift or performed on its own, helping transform a weak chin into a more sculpted and balanced profile.
What Is Chin Augmentation Like?
During chin augmentation surgery, Dr. Stein typically completes the procedure within an hour using IV sedation or local anesthesia. A small incision is made under the chin, where Dr. Stein precisely places the implant in front of the jawbone.
Following the procedure, you’ll have a brief observation period before going home. It’s important to arrange for someone to drive you home.
What Is Chin Augmentation Recovery Like?
Recovery after chin augmentation generally takes a couple of weeks. Swelling and bruising can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Dr. Stein will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process.
