Chin Augmentation Before & Afters
Bring Your Profile Into Harmonious Alignment
What is chin augmentation with implant?
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgery designed to enhance your chin's shape, size, and projection, enhancing your facial balance and harmony. Our chin implant approach involves inserting a biocompatible implant to increase the projection of the chin. Chin implants come in a range of sizes and shapes, allowing you and Dr. Dunn to select the implant that best suits your facial structure. The result enhances the overall appearance of the lower face, providing a more balanced and defined profile.
Masterful Techniques for a Beautiful Result
What is the chin augmentation procedure like?
On the day of your chin augmentation surgery, you will receive either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort. Dr. Dunn begins by making a small incision, either inside the mouth or under the chin. Through this incision, he carefully places the selected implant against the bone of your chin. Dr. Dunn then closes the incision with fine sutures and applies a dressing to protect the area.
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity.
Elevate Your Profile
What conditions does chin augmentation address?
- Receding Chin: A receding or "weak" chin can disrupt the balance of your facial features, making the nose appear larger or the neck less defined. Chin augmentation enhances the chin’s projection, creating a more harmonious profile.
- Facial Asymmetry: If your chin is asymmetrical or lacks definition, chin augmentation can correct these issues, providing a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
- Overall Facial Balance: Chin augmentation helps to create a strong, confident look by enhancing the definition of the lower face. Depending on your goals, chin augmentation can also be combined with other procedures such as chin liposuction or rhinoplasty for a more comprehensive enhancement.

Understanding, Guidance, and Support
Am I a candidate for chin augmentation?
Patients dissatisfied with their chin's shape, size, or projection can benefit from chin augmentation. You may be a candidate if you have a receding chin, facial asymmetry, or desire a more defined jawline. During your consultation, Dr. Dunn will evaluate your facial proportions and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine the best approach for your chin augmentation. He will also assess your medical history, ensuring you are in good overall health to undergo cosmetic surgery.
Watch Your Results Take Shape
Chin Implant Recovery
After your chin augmentation procedure, you can expect some bruising and swelling in the treatment area. Dr. Dunn will prescribe medication to alleviate post-procedure discomfort. We will provide detailed instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, including keeping your head elevated and avoiding strenuous activities for the first week. Most patients resume work and other routine activities after 1-2 weeks. However, complete healing may take several months—as residual swelling subsides, your results will become more refined.
Lasting Refinement
Chin Implant Results
After the procedure, you will notice immediate changes in the shape and projection of your chin. Your final results will refine themselves as swelling subsides over the next few months. Chin implants offer long-lasting results. Many patients enjoy an improved self-image and feel more confident in their appearance after undergoing chin augmentation.
