Chin Augmentation
What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation enhances a recessed or poorly defined chin using either a custom-sized silicone implant (surgical) or high-density hyaluronic-acid filler (nonsurgical). The implant is inserted through a hidden under-chin incision and anchored snugly to the bone for permanent balance. Filler, by contrast, is injected in targeted layers to trial a new contour or refine results without surgery.
Implant patients enjoy instant definition with most swelling gone in
2–3 weeks; filler patients walk out with visible results and can resume normal life immediately.

Ideal for: Anyone seeking stronger profile harmony—whether you want a permanent fix (implant) or a reversible preview (filler).
How Chin Augmentation Works: A Closer Look
Implant Approach
Prep & anesthesia
Local anesthesia with a relaxing IV sedative administered by an MD anesthesiologist.
Core step
¾-inch incision in the natural crease under your chin, creation of a snug pocket, placement of a sterile, solid-silicone implant.
Duration & after-care
45–60 minutes. A soft chin strap supports tissues for 48 hrs; soft foods first evening.
Healing milestones
Back to desk work in 5–7 days, light exercise at 2 weeks, contact sports at 6 weeks.
Filler Approach
Prep & anesthesia
Topical numbing cream; no IV or OR required.
Core step
Micro-cannula injections of thick hyaluronic-acid gel along bone for controlled projection.
Duration & after-care
15–20 minutes. Minor tenderness possible; makeup and normal activity right away.
Longevity
12–18 months on average, then safely repeatable or dissolvable.
Benefits of Chin Augmentation
Balanced facial harmony
Aligns the chin with your nose, lips & cheeks.
Sharper jawline
Creates a crisp neck-to-chin angle that photographs beautifully.
Customizable permanence
Choose a decades-long implant or a try-before-you-commit filler.
Hidden or no scars
Implant incision hides under the chin; filler leaves zero marks.
