Achieve Facial Harmony
What is a chin augmentation?
Chin augmentation surgery is focused on altering the size, shape, or projection of the chin and is designed to enhance facial harmony and balance. This surgery is often sought by individuals who are dissatisfied with the size or shape of their chin, either due to genetics, aging, or the desire to enhance their facial appearance. It can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial surgeries such as rhinoplasty to achieve comprehensive facial harmony.
The presence of a well-defined chin significantly influences the perceived size and prominence of the nose. A small and excessively recessed chin can create the illusion of a larger nose, making it seem as if it protrudes further from the face than its actual dimensions. Conversely, a properly proportioned chin enhances facial harmony, making the nose appear smaller and well-balanced in relation to other facial features. The impact of the chin extends beyond the nose, affecting the neck and jawline areas. A disproportionately small chin may accentuate the visibility of a double chin and contribute to a lack of distinction between the jaw and the neck.
Options for chin augmentation include the use of biocompatible implants to improve chin projection or injectable fillers for a non-surgical approach. Dr. Dadgostar tailors each procedure to your anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring that the results align with your expectations for a naturally enhanced appearance.
Combining Approaches: Profileplasty
Patients have the option of combining chin augmentation with rhinoplasty and submental liposuction (neck liposuction) to create a more defined profile and harmonious facial balance. By refining the chin’s projection, reshaping the nose, and contouring the neck, she enhances the overall symmetry of the face. This comprehensive approach allows Dr. Dadgostar to address multiple areas in a single, cohesive plan, ensuring that each feature complements the others for a natural, balanced look. Her expertise in facial aesthetics ensures that the results are not only beautiful but also aligned with the patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Consultation and Evaluation
The journey to your enhanced chin begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Dadgostar. During this personalized session, she carefully evaluates your facial features and proportions, considering factors such as the nose, jawline, and overall facial symmetry. The goal is to create a balanced and natural-looking result that complements the individual’s unique facial anatomy.
Customized Treatment Plan
Based on the consultation, Dr. Dadgostar will create a customized treatment plan. This plan outlines the specific adjustments to be made, taking into account your unique anatomy and desired outcome. She will discuss the details, answer any questions, and ensure that you feel confident and well-informed about the procedure. This collaborative approach ensures that your chin augmentation procedure aligns seamlessly with your desired outcomes.
Enhancing the appearance of the chin can be achieved through various methods. A less prominent chin can be augmented with the insertion of a biocompatible implant in front of the chin. Alternatively, injectable fillers can be used to increase chin prominence. When dealing with a double chin, the region beneath the chin can be concurrently addressed. Additional options include a face and neck lift or submental liposuction. These procedures, either performed individually or in combination, effectively eliminate excess fat and/or skin from beneath the chin.
Chin Augmentation Procedure
If done alone or in combination with submental liposuction, chin implant surgery is usually done under local anesthesia with sedation. If combined with a rhinoplasty, it is usually performed under general anesthetic.
An incision is made either inside the mouth in the area between the lip and the front teeth or underneath the chin. The choice of incision location depends on the specific technique used and the patient’s anatomy. Careful dissection is done to create a pocket for the implant. After a pocket is carefully created, the implant is placed and sutured in an optimal position. If an incision was made in the mouth, it is closed with self-dissolving sutures. The incision underneath the chin is closed with non-dissolvable sutures, and Dr. Dadgostar takes care to ensure minimal scarring. A dressing tape is put on the outside of the chin at the end of the procedure.
In submental liposuction, a small incision is made in the crease under the chin and behind each ear. A liposuction cannula is inserted under the skin and the fat in this area is carefully removed. The small incisions are closed with one or two very small sutures.
A Small Change With a Big Impact
What conditions does chin augmentation address?
Chin augmentation can address several aesthetic concerns, including:
- Recessed or small chin: Improves chin projection and balance with the rest of the face.
- Facial imbalance: Creates better harmony between the nose, chin, and jawline.
- Double chin appearance: When combined with submental liposuction, chin augmentation can reduce excess fat and refine the jawline.
- Age-related chin recession: Restores youthful proportions and definition in the lower face.
Define Your Look
What are the benefits of Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation improves facial balance by making the chin more proportional to other features. A well-defined chin also strengthens the jawline, reducing the appearance of a double chin and giving the lower face a more sculpted look. For many patients, achieving their aesthetic goals through chin augmentation can provide a significant boost in confidence. Whether you opt for a surgical implant or a non-surgical approach like dermal fillers, the procedure is fully customizable to suit your unique facial structure and desired outcome.
An Elegant Profile
Am I a candidate for chin augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for chin augmentation if you feel your chin is recessed or out of proportion with other facial features. Candidates for plastic surgery must be non-smokers (or willing to quit) who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results. Dr. Dadgostar will assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals during a consultation to determine if chin augmentation is right for you.

Chin Augmentation Recovery and Post-Operative Care
Patients are discharged the same day of surgery. Recovery and post-operative care are crucial aspects of the chin augmentation surgery process to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
Following surgery, patients are guided through a carefully outlined recovery plan. This typically involves rest with light activities for the first week and taking any prescribed medications for pain management if necessary. After one week, all dressings are removed and most patients can return to work and resume most normal daily activities. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting or high impact activities or anything that could bump the chin for at least two weeks after surgery. Bruising over the chin usually resolves within one week after the surgery. Most noticeable swelling resolves within the first two weeks, and minor swelling resolves gradually over the next few months.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the healing process, remove any sutures, and address any questions or concerns that may arise.
