Chin Augmentation

Many patients in the New Jersey and Philadelphia area complain that their chin or jaw line is too small for the face. When one has a lack of chin projection, the nose may appear larger or the neck may appear unrefined. Psychologically, a weak chin/jaw line may also give false perceptions of weakness or lack of strength. Patients with weak chin projection also are not satisfied with their profile. For these reasons, many patients will seek chin augmentation in Philadelphia to improve the appearance of their chin.

The benefits of chin augmentation surgery

Creating a more appealing balance between your chin and other features not only makes your face more attractive but it also has some added benefits. The subtle increase in volume creates a more sculpted, youthful neckline. Your jawline is more refined, your nose appears smaller, and your other features look more attractive.

How does chin augmentation work?

During surgery, an implant is placed through a small incision under the chin. The implant increases chin projection, providing a stronger and more aesthetic appearance and profile. Chin augmentation is also commonly combined with facial and neck liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose job), and rhytidectomy (facelift), affording remarkable results.

Which chin implant will create the best result?

One of the most critical points in a beautiful result is selecting the perfect implant for your facial structure. Dr. Corrado has an eye for balance and will advise you about the implant that will achieve a result that looks beautifully natural and will bring your features into proportion.

Am I a candidate for chin augmentation?

  • A receding chin
  • A small chin 
  • A smaller jaw structure
  • A slope from chin to neck
  • Your nose appears larger than it should

The procedure

The procedure is performed via a small incision either underneath the chin.  An implant, similar to the consistency of a normal chin, is placed in front of the bone to increase the projection of the chin. The implant is secured, and the incision is sutured closed.
