What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is designed to give an under-projected or recessed chin more prominence, which also enhances the shape of your neck and jawline. The most common type of chin augmentation is a synthetic chin implant.

It’s placed around your existing chin below the skin, which then alters the shape of your face by refining the contours of your chin. At PURE Cosmetic Center in Chelmsford chin augmentation can also be done at the same time as rhinoplasty since the size of your nose affects chin size and the two can together create a stronger result. You can also have your chin augmentation done at the same time as a facelift or neck lift, which will further define your jawline.

What Happens During Chin Augmentation?

During chin augmentation Chelmsford plastic surgeon Dr. Lee will make a small incision inside your mouth or below your chin. He’ll then place the chin implant(s) around your existing chin bone. The skin is then stitched closed with sutures. This is considered outpatient surgery and takes about an hour to complete. Other than a few stitches, no other dressings are required. You’ll need to return for a follow-up to make sure you’re healing correctly and ensure your satisfaction with the surgery. Typical recovery time for your chin augmentation can take one to two weeks.

Chin Augmentation FAQs

When should you get a chin augmentation?

If you think you have a “weak” or recessed chin and that your jawline lacks definition, or that your face is out of proportion, a chin augmentation can help you recover your overall confidence. Chin augmentations are designed to improve the proportions of your face, from your nose to your neck, and can also reduce the size of your double chin. We require that any patient interested in receiving a chin augmentation in New Hampshire have a consultation prior to the surgery.

Is chin augmentation painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort although there may be some minor soreness and tenderness. Most patients only require over-the-counter pain medications.

How much does chin augmentation cost?

Depending on whether you decide to combine this surgery with other facial procedures, the price for chin augmentation in New Hampshire will vary. Costs will be out of pocket. You can discuss any questions you have as well as financing or payment options during your consultation with Dr. Lee.

How long does it take to recover?

Other than stitches, there’s no need for other dressings. Generally, there will be swelling for about 2 weeks.

Will you have scars?

There may be a small cut under your chin where Dr. Lee inserted the implants. This will fade in overtime and be very well hidden. If Dr. Lee made the incision inside your mouth, then there will be no external scarring at all.
