Chin Augmentation

Introduction to Chin Augmentation

The face has several elements that work together. Each plays a part in projecting an overall message from your nose to your eyebrows to your chin. Chin implants help you control that message, sculpting your chin in a way that complements the rest of your face. A good chin can be the subtle key to winning facial harmony and symmetry. When performed by a skilled plastic surgeon, a chin augmentation can enhance the overall appearance of the face. If you are interested in learning more about chin surgery in the New York and New Jersey areas, we at ECAPS can help you uncover the well-balanced face you’ve always wanted. Do not delay; schedule your consultation today with one of our surgeons at any of our convenient locations.

What is a Chin Augmentation?

A recessive jawline can give the impression of a weak, non-masculine face. Plastic surgeons developed chin implants to help correct this feature, augment the natural chin structures, and give the appearance of a more traditionally masculine profile. During the procedure, implants are placed under the chin tissue, typically in conjunction with the natural structure of the chin, to achieve the desired aesthetic effect. The implants can be made from various materials, and your plastic surgeon will discuss the pros and cons of these options during your consultation. Indeed, individualized implants often fare the best in terms of not only comfort but results as well.

Chin augmentation procedures are often most successful when they focus on subtly improving the face’s proportions. The idea, after all, is not to draw attention to your surgery but rather to enhance the strength of the composition of your face. The best chin augmentation and implant procedures emphasize this subtle relationship, generating results that at once strengthen the face profile and resist the temptation to make the jawline itself into an unnatural caricature of masculinity. A subtle improvement in the chin can lead to a significant improvement in the face’s proportions and the control you have over the first impression you make on countless individuals.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Chin Augmentation?

Chin surgery is a major procedure, and it is not for everybody. Below is a list to help you determine whether or not chin augmentation is right for you:

  • You are in good health, able to withstand surgery, and your facial growth is complete
  • You are bothered by the shape or size of your chin
  • The overall size of your chin is too large or too small in comparison to your other facial features
  • Your chin profile includes visible humps or depressions
  • Your chin is not symmetrical
  • You may have previous injuries to your chin that could be contributing to any of the aforementioned conditions.

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting chin augmentation in the New York and New Jersey areas is to schedule a consultation with one of our expert surgeons at an ECAPS location. During your one-on-one consultation with a surgeon at one of our ECAPS Centers, you will go over these considerations to ensure your surgery succeeds. You should be prepared to discuss your full medical history during your consultation, including any medical conditions, previous surgeries or treatments, drug allergies, current medications, and use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances.

If you both agree to proceed with the procedure, your surgeon will design a surgical plan for you. You can then take the plan to our patient coordinator for scheduling and pricing, and to receive any pre-operative instructions.

Special Considerations for Chin Surgery (Mentoplasty/Genioplasty)

Surgery is a major decision that each patient must make for him or herself. Please reflect upon the following factors before committing to plastic surgery:

Expectations: Chin augmentation procedures can help restore harmony to your face, but they will not necessarily transform you into a completely new person. It is important to have realistic expectations of plastic surgery and avoid undergoing any procedure for a reason other than your own.

Medical conditions: This procedure is not recommended for individuals with diabetes, heart disease, or a weakened immune system. These factors can complicate chin augmentation surgery and interfere with your optimal recovery. It is very important that you are healthy enough for surgery at the time of your chin augmentation.

What to Expect on the Day of Chin Augmentation Surgery

Chin surgery is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure with general anesthesia or local anesthesia and sedation.

Once you are sedated, your surgeon will make a small incision below the chin and insert the implant. The implant will be screwed into the chin’s bone structure to prevent movement. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the patient should not be able to feel the implant.

The highly skilled plastic surgeons at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery of New Jersey will be with you during all your facial procedures. You will be sent home with detailed care instructions to ensure a successful recovery.

Chin Augmentation Recovery

After a few hours of recovery, you will be permitted to go home. Your incisions will be wrapped in gauze dressings, and any swelling or bruising you experience should subside within a few weeks. Your chin will be tender to the touch for the first few days following your augmentation. It is recommended that you avoid straining, bending, lifting, biting hard objects, and other strenuous activities for several days.

The downside of an incision inside the mouth is the risk of infection; however, if you follow your recovery instructions carefully, this likelihood can be minimized. Your ECAPS plastic surgeon will provide you with specific instructions to guide you through your recovery. You will likely be able to return to work within a week and resume moderate activity within two to three weeks, although it may take several months for the swelling to dissipate completely.
