Why People Get a Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation can be ideal if you are looking for a subtle yet substantial enhancement to your facial appearance. Specific reasons to seek chin augmentation include:
- Strengthen a weak chin.
- Bring all of your facial features into harmony and proportion.
- Improve definition of the jawline and neck.
- Help reduce the “double chin” appearance caused by a less prominent chin.
Our Chin Augmentation Process Explained
The first step on your journey is a consultation. You will have a chance to talk with Dr. Fisher about all your aesthetic goals and concerns, and ask any questions you might have about the treatment, results, and recovery. Additionally, he will perform an examination to confirm your eligibility for a safe, successful surgery.
Our procedures are performed with anesthesia and sedation options to ensure your comfort, including topical numbing solutions for injectable procedures. For chin augmentation, there are two options.
- A non-surgical option with dermal fillers. We use fillers that produce a natural “plumping” effect, using hyaluronic acid to create volume and definition in the targeted areas. This option is not permanent and will fade after 12-24 months.
- A permanent surgical option. Genioplasty, in which the chin is advanced forward.
Chin Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare
Following your chin augmentation, you will be discharged to rest and recover. You should be ready to resume your normal activities within a day or two, though there may be some lingering redness or swelling along your chin and jaw. You may also experience some tenderness, but this is easily managed with just over-the-counter medications, such as Motrin or Tylenol.
Other Things to Consider Before Getting a Chin Augmentation
Are There Any Risks Involved?
While there can be some mild side effects associated with fillers, and any cosmetic procedure carries some level of risk, you can mitigate your risk by choosing a qualified doctor and by carefully adhering to all aftercare instructions.
Will I Need to Request Extensive Time Off from Work?
Most patients feel ready to resume their normal activities after just a day or two of rest and recovery.
How Long Will My Results Last?
While the results of a chin augmentation do not last forever, they can be extended via maintenance injections of facial fillers.
Is a Chin Augmentation Really Worth It?
Most patients who have chin augmentation performed at our practice express a high level of satisfaction.
