What Is a Chin Implant?
A small silicone implant that goes over the chin bone to enhance its shape and projection. The chin augmentation procedure creates a stronger, more proportionate facial contour.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Chin Implant?
Chin augmentation is ideal for individuals who:
- Have a recessed or weak chin that affects facial symmetry.
- Want to achieve a more defined jawline.
- Desire better balance between facial features, especially the nose and chin.
- Are generally healthy with realistic expectations.
The Chin Implant Procedure: What to Expect
Chin augmentation is an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Dunkley makes a small incision under the chin or in the mouth to create a pocket before placing the implant securely over the chin bone. The incision is then closed with sutures, and the recovery process begins.
Recovery & Results
Patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for the first week, but these symptoms gradually subside. You may need to follow a soft diet and avoid strenuous activities for a short period. The final results become more visible as swelling decreases, revealing a naturally enhanced and well-defined chin.
