Understanding Chin Enhancement
A well-defined chin plays a key role in creating facial balance and harmony. When the chin is recessed or lacks projection, it can make other features, such as the nose or neck, appear out of proportion. Chin enhancement procedures are designed to correct these imbalances and improve overall facial aesthetics, helping patients achieve a stronger profile and more youthful appearance.
Whether you choose temporary injectables or a more permanent implant, our chin enhancement procedures are designed to deliver the prominent, balanced facial features you desire. Improving a recessed chin can be especially important when restoring a youthful, proportional appearance. Chin augmentation may be performed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other procedures such as rhinoplasty, cheek enhancement, a neck lift, or a facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What Is Chin Enhancement?
Chin enhancement, also known as chin augmentation, is a cosmetic treatment that improves the size, shape, or projection of the chin. It can be achieved through temporary injectable fillers, fat transfer, or permanent chin implants. Each method has its own benefits, ranging from short-term improvements to long-lasting structural changes. The goal is always to enhance natural proportions and create a balanced, harmonious look.

There are many different ways to achieve symmetry of the chin area, including:
Chin Augmentation – Chin Implants
A small incision is made on the inside of the mouth or underneath the chin, in addition to creating a small pocket above the chin bone and the below the chin muscle. A customized implant is then inserted into the pocket. This can also be completed through an incision made inside the mouth through which a portion of the chin bone is moved slightly forward and secured into place. After surgery, the chin may be taped to hold the implant in place until it is healed firmly in its new position.
Injectable Chin Enhancements
We offer facial injectables and fillers as a simpler, temporary alternative to surgery. This also allows you to evaluate the appearance of an augmented chin before committing to permanent implants. By injecting in just the right location, we can help you reach your desired look. Chin injectables pair excellent with cheek injectable fillers as well.
Facial Fat Transfer for Chin Improvement
Structural fat transfer (fat grafting), as much as possible, to enhance facial features. In many cases, the need for a solid implant can be eliminated by the careful and meticulous grafting of a patient’s own fat. Learn more about fat transfer.

Chin Augmentation Recovery
Following chin implant surgery, you may experience some pain, swelling and bruising. Your stitches will be removed within about a week. If the incision was made through the mouth, then the patient may experience soreness and difficulty chewing, in which case soft food may be recommended, and stitches will dissolve on their own. The total recovery time may take up to 3 to 4 months, in which after that all numbness and restrictions should fade. Most patients can return to work after 1 week. Patients who receive injectable or fat transfer chin improvements may experience swelling, soreness, numbness, and redness for the first 24-48 hours.
