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

  1. Prep & anesthesia

    Local anesthesia with a relaxing IV sedative administered by an MD anesthesiologist.

  2. Core step

    ¾-inch incision in the natural crease under your chin, creation of a snug pocket, placement of a sterile, solid-silicone implant.

  3. Duration & after-care

    45–60 minutes. A soft chin strap supports tissues for 48 hrs; soft foods first evening.

  4. Healing milestones

    Back to desk work in 5–7 days, light exercise at 2 weeks, contact sports at 6 weeks.

Filler Approach

  1. Prep & anesthesia

    Topical numbing cream; no IV or OR required.

  2. Core step

    Micro-cannula injections of thick hyaluronic-acid gel along bone for controlled projection.

  3. Duration & after-care

    15–20 minutes. Minor tenderness possible; makeup and normal activity right away.

  4. Longevity

    12–18 months on average, then safely repeatable or dissolvable.

FAQs - Chin Augmentation

How much does chin augmentation cost?
Chin implants start at $6,800, while high-density hyaluronic-acid filler starts at $950 per syringe (1–2 syringes typical). Fees include your board-certified surgeon or master injector, facility use for implants, and our 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, implant payments can be as low as $150 per month after a standard 20 % deposit. Exact quote after an in-person exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. Implant patients leave about an hour after surgery with a responsible adult; filler patients can drive themselves home minutes after treatment.
Will I need drains, stitches, or a chin strap?
No drains or external stitches. Implant patients wear a soft chin strap for the first 48 hours (then only at night for one more week) to control swelling. Filler needs no garments or restrictions.
Does chin augmentation hurt?
Most implant patients describe soreness similar to a mild dental procedure for 2–3 days, eased with acetaminophen or NSAIDs; narcotics are rarely required. Filler causes brief pressure and minor tenderness that resolves within hours.
Where is the scar and will anyone see it?
For implants, the incision hides in a natural crease beneath your chin and typically heals to a fine, barely visible line. Filler leaves no incision or scar.
How long do the results last?
Solid-silicone implants are designed to be permanent and rarely shift once healed. Filler lasts 12–18 months before gradually absorbing; you can top up or dissolve it anytime.
Are there complementary or alternative treatments to consider?
Popular pairings include neck-liposuction for a crisper jawline. Your surgeon will customize the ideal plan during your consult.
