Have you felt like your face lacks a certain balance? Through either chin implants or genioplasty (surgical chin reshaping), we can help improve a weak or receding chin to help you address the effects of an unbalanced profile. These procedures can help in ways you might not consider, like making your nose appear smaller and your neck more defined.

Common Questions About Chin Enhancement
What's the difference between a chin implant and genioplasty?
A chin implant involves placing a carefully selected implant to enhance chin projection and shape. Genioplasty, alternatively, surgically repositions your natural chin bone. During your consultation, we’ll determine which approach better suits your anatomy and goals. Some patients benefit from combining both techniques.
How much does a chin implant or genioplasty cost?
Because everyone’s facial proportions and aesthetic goals are different, the price can vary on the extent of the procedure. This is why our initial phone screening and consultation are so important. By meeting with your coordinator and specialist, we will be able to jointly determine the best course of action and give you a clear idea of the price range for your procedure.
Will my results look obviously "done"?
Our philosophy centers on natural enhancement. We carefully select implant sizes and shapes – or plan genioplasty modifications – that complement your existing features rather than overpowering them. Most patients report that friends notice they look better but can’t pinpoint exactly what changed.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to work within 5-7 days, though some swelling and tightness will persist longer. Initial swelling peaks around day 3-4, then gradually subsides. You’ll see your new profile emerging within weeks, with final results settling in over 3-4 months.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is typically mild to moderate and well-managed with prescribed medication. Most patients describe more of a tight, stretched sensation than sharp pain. Genioplasty patients might experience slightly more discomfort than implant patients, but both procedures are very tolerable.
What about scarring?
For chin implants, the incision is typically hidden inside your mouth or in a natural crease under your chin. Genioplasty incisions are always inside the mouth. Any external scars fade significantly and are typically barely noticeable within months.
Can I combine this with other procedures?
Absolutely. Chin enhancement often pairs beautifully with:
- Rhinoplasty for complete profile balancing
- Neck liposuction for enhanced definition
- Facelift and necklift procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation We’ll discuss combination options during your consultation.
What makes someone a good candidate?
Ideal candidates:
- Have realistic expectations about results
- Are in good general health
- Don’t smoke (or are willing to quit before surgery)
- Have fully developed facial bones
- Want to improve chin projection or position We’ll assess your specific situation during consultation.
How long do results last?
Chin implants typically last indefinitely, though they can be removed or replaced if desired. Genioplasty results are permanent since we’re modifying your natural bone structure. Both options age naturally with your face, maintaining harmony with your other features.
