A chin implant, or chin augmentation procedure often accompanies a rhinoplasty, facelift, or cheek implants to match the patient’s aesthetic facial goals.

This minimally invasive procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes and involves insertion of a solid silicone implant to create definition in the patient’s facial structure. The implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes to best accentuate your facial structure.

I feel more comfortable with just my womanhood in general and feeling more feminine. You’re opened a lot of doors for me within myself . . . for me to be myself and feel more confident. Thank you so much!

The Procedure

An implant is typically placed through an incision made inside the lower lip or through the natural crease beneath the chin. Your doctor will select the implant that will best enhance your ideal appearance and insert it into a pocket created over the front of the jawbone.
