Chin Augmentation (With Implant)

Good bone structure is a major determinant of facial beauty. At Dr. Gehaan Dsouza's practice, patients can enhance their features through chin augmentation surgery.

What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance and projection of the chin using an implant. This procedure can enhance facial contours and bring balance to the face by making the chin more proportionate to other facial features.

Benefits of Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation is typically performed to:

• Balance facial proportions
• Enhance a weak or receding chin
• Improve the appearance of the jawline
• Create a more defined profile

The Chin Augmentation Procedure

Dr. Dsouza performs chin augmentation in an operating room under anesthesia. The procedure involves:

• Making an incision hidden under the chin
• Creating a pocket for implant placement
• Inserting and positioning the chin implant
• Closing the incision

The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours to complete.

Recovery After Chin Augmentation

Following chin augmentation surgery, patients can expect:

• Some swelling and bruising
• Mild discomfort manageable with pain medication
• Initial difficulty with talking and facial movements
• Return to work within 3-5 days

Ideal Candidates for Chin Augmentation

Good candidates for chin augmentation include men and women who are in good health and looking to improve the appearance of their jawline and chin. Specific concerns that can be addressed include:

• A recessed chin that makes the nose appear larger
• A small chin that projects less than the lower lip
