Introduction
Chin Implant/Augmentation
The lower face’s structure, particularly a well-defined jawline, is essential in achieving facial harmony and balance. A small or recessed chin can throw off these proportions, making a normal-sized nose appear larger and blurring the line between the chin and neck. For individuals with both a small chin and misaligned teeth, a consultation with an oral surgeon may be needed. However, for most, a weak chin can be effectively enhanced with a chin implant.
Chin implants come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, customized to each patient’s unique facial anatomy. Modern implants not only add chin projection but also provide support along the jawline, creating a more natural and seamless contour.
Ideal candidates for chin implants are those who feel their chin’s size, shape, or projection disrupts the overall harmony of their features and are looking to achieve a more balanced facial profile.
Chin Augmentation Pairs Well With:
Rhinoplasty
A chin implant balances the profile, especially when a small chin makes a nose appear larger or longer.
Facelift
Implants restore lost bone volume under the marionette lines, softening jowls and enhancing the neck angle.
Deep Neck Lift
Strengthening the chin defines the jawline and deepens the chin-to-neck angle, especially in younger patients with early jowling.
Buccal Fat Reduction
Combining a chin implant with buccal fat removal enhances cheekbone definition and further refines the jawline.

CHIN IMPLANT FAQs
The primary benefit of chin implants is enhancing facial harmony. By making a small chin proportionate to other features, implants create symmetry and reduce insecurity about facial imbalance.
Additionally, chin implants improve one’s profile by increasing chin projection, resulting in a stronger jawline and a more defined side view.
- Any incision on the skin will leave a scar. For chin implants, the 2-3 cm incision is hidden in the wrinkle under the chin, resulting in a nearly invisible, thin scar.
- Temporary numbness of the chin and lower lips is common during early healing and usually resolves over time. Long-term numbness is rare.
- Infection of the implant is also rare. To prevent this, the incision is placed under the chin (rather than inside the mouth), and the implant is inserted under sterile conditions.
- Implant migration or malposition is minimized by creating a tight pocket that secures the implant against the bone.

During the first week after surgery, the chin will be sore and swollen, but the swelling will gradually decrease. While the jawline’s improved profile is noticeable right away, the front view may appear slightly wider for a few weeks as the swelling subsides. Bruising around the jawline is common and can be concealed with makeup, as long as the incision is avoided. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least three weeks post-surgery.
Chin implant surgery can be performed in the office or operating room, often under local anesthesia, depending on the patient.
Before the procedure, Dr. Gray will help choose the implant style and size based on your goals. After anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision under the chin, creates space for the implant, and uses sterile “sizers” to confirm the fit before placing the actual implant. The implant and incision are then sutured.
Sutures are removed in 7 days. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common, and numbness may take weeks or months to fully resolve.
