Dr. Chattha ensures minimal visible scarring with a small incision beneath the chin. Patients can expect improved jawline definition, a more balanced facial appearance, and increased confidence.
What is a Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation, also known as chin implants, is a procedure that improves the chin’s shape and size to create a more harmonious and defined facial profile. The procedure typically involves making a small incision beneath the chin, where a silicone implant is placed in the pre-periosteal plane (just above the bone) to avoid erosion of the implant on the bone. This method ensures the implant stays securely in place, providing lasting, natural-looking results.
For females, we generally use a petite or small-size implant, and for males, a moderate-size implant is often more appropriate to maintain facial balance.
What Are the Benefits of Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation can significantly enhance your facial aesthetics by offering the following benefits:
- Enhanced Facial Harmony: Achieve a balanced profile that complements other facial features.
- Improved Jawline Definition: Create a more defined and sculpted jawline.
- Increased Self-Esteem: Feel more confident with a more refined profile.
- Balanced Profile: Align your chin with the rest of your facial features for a more symmetrical appearance.
- Youthful Appearance: Chin augmentation can help restore a youthful look by improving facial proportions.
Minimal Scarring: The small incision technique ensures minimal visible scarring, making the procedure discreet.
Ideal Candidates for Chin Augmentation
Candidates for chin augmentation are typically in good health, have realistic expectations, and wish to enhance their facial profile. This procedure is ideal for those with:
- Recessed or undefined chin: People who feel their chin lacks definition can benefit from chin implants.
- Unbalanced profile: Individuals seeking to create a more harmonious facial appearance.
- Healthy, non-smoking individuals: Non-smokers who have reached full skeletal maturity are ideal candidates for chin augmentation.
Before proceeding with chin augmentation, Dr. Chattha will assess your facial features and goals during a consultation to determine if this procedure is right for you.

Your guide to post-chin augmentation care
Chin Augmentation Recovery
Most patients experience initial swelling and bruising after chin augmentation, which typically peaks in the first few days. These symptoms gradually subside over the next week. Pain is usually mild and managed with prescribed medications. By the end of the first week, most individuals can return to light activities, with full recovery and final results visible within six to eight weeks as swelling continues to decrease and the chin settles into its new shape.
At one week, the sutures will be removed, and any remaining swelling should have diminished, revealing the initial contours of your new chin.
