Chin augmentation
What is it?
The facial growth of many people is altered in the lower portion of the face, either at the jaw level or specifically at the chin level, which is made up of bone and soft tissue such as muscle and fat. Its main function is to provide harmony with the middle and upper third of the face, especially in a profile view.
The placement of a chin implant is a procedure that allows the use of solid silicone in such a way that the size of the chin can be increased immediately. The chin augmentation procedure can also be done by cutting the chin bone and advancing it forward to increase projection. The benefit it provides is to improve facial aesthetics in profile.
Removal of stitches

Anesthesia
Local anesthesia with or without sedation. (for chin osteotomy, general anesthesia is required)

Chin Osteotomy: Sculpting Profile Beyond implants
What is it?
Chin osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves strategically reshaping the existing jawbone to address concerns like:
- Receding chin: Lengthening the chin creates a stronger profile and improves balance with the nose.
- Chin asymmetry: Correcting unevenness harmonizes facial features.
- Short chin: Projection enhances definition and improves side profile aesthetics.
- Double chin: Jawbone manipulation can redefine the jawline and reduce the appearance of fullness.
Beyond Fillers and Implants
While chin implants and fillers offer non-surgical alternatives, chin osteotomy holds distinct advantages:
Permanence: Unlike temporary results of fillers (lasting 1-2 years), chin osteotomy delivers long-lasting, transformative results. With proper care, the reshaped jawbone structure remains stable throughout your life.
Versatility: Unlike the limited shape options of implants, chin osteotomy allows for precise customization. I can address specific concerns like asymmetry, length, and projection with meticulous control, achieving your desired aesthetic ideal.
Natural Appearance: By manipulating the existing bone structure, chin osteotomy creates a naturally sculpted chin, blending seamlessly with your facial features. This stands in contrast to the potential "overfilled" look associated with some implant or filler results.
Improved Jawline Definition: In cases of a weak or undefined jawline, chin osteotomy can provide greater sharpness and definition, enhancing the overall facial contours.
Addressing Functional Concerns: In some cases, chin osteotomy can address underlying jawline issues that contribute to sleep apnea or bite problems.
Considerations and Consultation:
While chin osteotomy offers significant benefits, it's vital to understand that it is a surgical procedure with inherent risks and recovery time. A thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial to discuss your goals, assess your suitability, and understand the entire process.
