Balance Your Face With a Chin Augmentation in NJ

Whether you're looking to correct a receding chin or refine your facial contour, experience the confidence boost that comes with well-proportioned features crafted to enhance your unique beauty under the care of a top-rated surgeon. A chin augmentation with Dr. Aydin can dramatically improve the balance and proportions of your face, offering a stronger, more defined jawline that complements your features.

What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation, often referred to as genioplasty or mentoplasty, refines the lower facial contours by inserting implants, reshaping the bone, or utilizing autologous fat grafting. This procedure aims to enhance facial harmony by achieving a more proportionate and balanced structure, particularly by extending the chin to align more favorably with the nose, thereby improving the facial profile. Our double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. N. Bill Aydin, implements his chin augmentation surgeries with synthetic implants or a fat transfer to improve the balance and harmony of your facial features at the jawline.

Are You a Candidate for Chin Augmentation?

What to Expect During the Procedure

Chin augmentation surgery may be performed under local or general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The surgery typically lasts up to two hours.

During the procedure, a small pocket is created under the skin where the chin implant is carefully placed over the bone just below the lips. In some instances, the bone may be contoured to secure the implant more effectively. Incisions are strategically made either under the chin or inside the mouth at the base of the gum line to minimize visible scarring.

Patients generally experience very positive outcomes, gaining significant improvements in their facial profile. Dr. Aydin is skilled in achieving subtle yet impactful results, enhancing his patients' appearance and boosting their self-esteem.

Chin Augmentation Recovery in NJ

In the initial three days post-surgery, a liquid diet is recommended to avoid exerting pressure around the chin, as the sutures are delicate and require time to heal. Patients should limit themselves to light activities during the first week. It's common to experience numbness around the implant area, but this sensation typically diminishes gradually over time.

As the implant and surrounding tissues adapt, the chin may feel unusually tight and numb. This is a normal response to the surgery and should not cause concern. Sensitivity in the area will progressively return, although it may take several months to fully regain normal sensation. The overall adjustment and settling of the implant take about a year to complete, culminating in a soft, natural look and feel.

Post-operative symptoms may include some soreness, swelling, and numbness near the incision sites. Despite these temporary discomforts, the aesthetic benefits of chin augmentation are immediately noticeable. The results from this single surgical procedure offer a permanent solution compared to the temporary effects of facial fillers. Additionally, when incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no visible scars.

Do You Have a Double Chin?

Chin augmentation enhances the jawline, helping patients achieve a more balanced facial profile. When excess fat under the chin contributes to the appearance of a double chin, liposuction can be employed to refine the area. Patients are generally advised to be at or near their ideal weight before undergoing any cosmetic surgery to ensure the best possible outcomes. In some cases, liposuction alone may sufficiently define the chin, eliminating the need for an implant.

Chin Augmentation FAQ

Will there be visible scarring?

During a chin augmentation, the incisions are strategically placed inside the lip or under the chin to ensure they are discreet. This placement minimizes visible scarring, making it nearly imperceptible post-surgery.

What’s the difference between mentoplasty and genioplasty?

Mentoplasty enhances the chin by adding fullness and shape, while genioplasty involves surgical reconstruction of the chin bone. These procedures can be performed together or separately, depending on the patient's specific aesthetic goals or chin condition. Unlike mentoplasty, which is primarily cosmetic, genioplasty may also address medical issues, such as correcting a patient's bite.
