Chin implant surgery is performed by making a small incision inside the mouth where it will be completely hidden. Once the incision is made, a carefully selected medical-grade chin implant is placed in front of the natural chinbone.

FAQS: Chin Augmentation
What is the recovery process from chin augmentation surgery?
Chin augmentation surgery is generally well tolerated by most people. There will be some soreness and mild discomfort which is easily controlled with pain medication.
Following chin augmentation surgery, a bandage is worn to help support the chin when talking and eating. Makeup can be applied as soon as the bandage is removed, but everything -- including dental brushing and flossing -- must be done more gently than usual until the area has fully healed.
Are the results from chin implant surgery permanent?
Yes, once the body heals around the chin implant, it will be a permanent part of the body. However, the chin implant can still be surgically removed if desired.
Are there any alternative treatments for chin augmentation surgery?
Currently the only way to improve the dimension of the chin itself is with a chin implant. However, if definition is lacking from the chin and neck area, SmartLipo laser liposuction on the neck and jowls can improve help define and improve lines of the neck area.
