Introduction
About Chin Augmentation
If you find yourself avoiding certain angles when taking pictures or looking in the mirror because of your chin, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with having a small chin that takes away from facial structure. A small chin can also make the nose look longer than it really is. While we tend to think of features like the nose or teeth as defining a face, the chin, more importantly, determines the placement of the teeth and the angles of a jawline and provides balance to the rest of the face. Chin augmentation is a procedure that alters the appearance of the chin in order to enhance your facial profile. With chin augmentation, you can enjoy a more refined and balanced appearance.

Everyone’s journey with cosmetic surgery is unique, and the decision to move forward is a deeply personal one. Facial rejuvenation and contouring come in a few different forms, and chin augmentation is only one of them. You’re likely a good candidate for chin augmentation if you identify with the following:
Enhance Facial Balance
Chin augmentation aims to bring better balance to the face, enhancing the profile of the nose and chin. Although we may not realize it, the ratio of the chin and nose is one of the biggest indicators of attractiveness.
Improve the Jawline
If your jawline is weak or disproportionate, chin augmentation can enhance it. For patients of any gender, improving the jawline can result in a more aesthetically complete look.
Broaden the Chin
If your chin is too small or pointed, it can get lost in the other contours and features of the face. Chin augmentation can make it more prominent and harmonious with the rest of your face.
Benefits of Chin Augmentation
How Can We Help You Feel Great About Your Decision?
Imagine how chin augmentation could help capture a more confident you. Chin augmentation has many benefits, and Dr. Tehrani will help you learn more about the ones that fit your goals and lifestyle. Here are just a few.
Minimally Invasive
Chin augmentation is relatively minimally invasive, using only small incisions inside the mouth. It doesn’t require general anesthesia, cutting down on the risks and recovery.
Short Recovery Time
Most patients can return to work and daily activities within 3-5 days of surgery. This can help you enjoy your results sooner.
Long-Lasting Results
Once in place, a chin implant or bony osteotomy functions just like your natural chin. You can enjoy lifelong results from this procedure.

Every surgery requires some careful preparation. Dr. Tehrani will look at multiple factors when planning your procedure – he’ll consider the positioning of your teeth, jaw, soft tissues, facial proportions, and facial symmetry. Together, you’ll prepare a treatment plan unique to your facial structure that aligns as closely as possible with your goals.
Dr. Tehrani will give you ways you can prepare for the procedure, such as getting labs done and avoiding medications that have blood-thinning qualities, like aspirin. We also recommend you stop smoking and drinking alcohol before your procedure.
Chin Implant
A chin implant is a procedure that secures an implant onto the front of the chin, below the skin. This can make the chin appear more projected and in line with the rest of the face. Chin implants can be made from different synthetic materials, such as Silastic (solid silicone) and porous polythene. Both of these materials have their own traits that contribute to the look and feel of the chin. While Silastic is more easily contoured, porous polythene can encourage the growth of surrounding tissues. These implants come in different shapes and sizes that correspond to your chin position. In some cases, implants reach beyond the chin to contour more of the jaw as well.
Bony Osteotomy
A bony osteotomy, also known as an osseous genioplasty, is another effective method for enhancing the chin. Instead of using a synthetic implant, a bony osteotomy will move the chin bone itself forward. This brings both the chin and soft tissues forward, providing the facial profile with a natural, more balanced appearance. A bony osteotomy is a good alternative to a chin implant if you have a long chin; putting an implant into a chin with a long height can result in an unnatural appearance. For chins that benefit from being made longer or shorter, a bony osteotomy is often the right fit.
Chin Augmentation Recovery
Chin augmentation recovery time is typically short, spanning only 3-5 days. Some swelling and bruising are normal but usually subside within the first 2 weeks after surgery. Dr. Tehrani may provide you with an elastic bandage to support the implant and will give you instructions on when to wear it. Any mild discomfort in the chin area can usually be managed with over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen. However, Dr. Tehrani can prescribe medications if needed. You should also take the suggested antibiotics for 5-7 days after surgery.
You’ll follow up with Dr. Tehrani about one week after your surgery, where we’ll check on your progress and take out your sutures.

Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a common addition to chin augmentation. Performed together, these two procedures can achieve a total transformation of your facial profile.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane can be used to augment the chin without surgery. If you’re curious about what your surgical results could look like or you want to avoid surgery altogether, dermal fillers are a great option.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal is another facial contouring procedure that can slim the cheeks and get rid of a “babyface.” It can further refine your face and create a sculpted look when combined with chin augmentation.
