What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin Augmentation, or genioplasty, is a transformative procedure designed to enhance the definition of the chin and create a more balanced facial profile. Over time, the chin can lose definition or begin to recede, affecting the overall harmony of the face. Additionally, excess fat under the chin can create the appearance of a double chin, further impacting the jawline’s contour. At FACES+, Dr. Steven R. Cohen offers advanced techniques for chin augmentation in San Diego, including Osseous Genioplasty and Chin Implants, to help you achieve a more sculpted and confident look.

What Can Chin Augmentation Do for Your Look?

Chin augmentation can significantly enhance your facial appearance by:

  • Improving Facial Balance: Corrects a receding or weak chin to create a more proportional and harmonious facial profile.
  • Enhancing Jawline Definition: Adds structure to the jawline, reducing the appearance of a double chin and creating a more chiseled look.
  • Correcting Asymmetry: Addresses facial asymmetry by reshaping or repositioning the chin to achieve a more balanced appearance.
  • Boosting Confidence: Enhances your overall facial aesthetics, giving you a more confident and attractive profile.
  • Rejuvenating Your Appearance: Restores youthful definition to the lower face, counteracting the effects of aging on the chin and jawline.
  • Creating a Stronger Profile: Adds projection and strength to the chin, contributing to a more masculine look for men who have a receding or smaller chin.

Types of Chin Augmentation Treatments

Osseous Genioplasty

Osseous Genioplasty is a specialized form of chin augmentation that reshapes the chin bone. This procedure is ideal for patients who require more significant changes to the chin’s position and projection. During an Osseous Genioplasty, Dr. Cohen makes an incision inside the mouth to access the chin bone. This approach allows him to reposition the bone forward, backward, or to the sides as needed. This approach enhances the chin’s appearance and improves the overall harmony of the lower face without the need for implants. Osseous Genioplasty is particularly beneficial for those with asymmetry or who desire a more natural augmentation.

Chin Implants

Chin Implants offer a highly effective solution for patients seeking to enhance their chin’s appearance with a less invasive approach. Chin implants are custom-shaped to fit the patient’s facial structure, providing a balanced and proportional enhancement. Dr. Cohen carefully selects and places the implant through a small incision, either inside the mouth or under the chin, to achieve the desired level of projection and definition. Chin implants are an excellent option for correcting a weak or recessed chin, enhancing jawline definition, and creating a more attractive facial profile.

Chin Augmentation FAQs

How long will a chin implant last?

Chin implants are typically permanent, made from durable materials that integrate well with natural tissues. They generally don’t need replacement unless complications or personal preferences change.

How does chin augmentation impact facial aging?

A well-proportioned chin provides foundational support to facial features, which may help delay sagging or reduce the prominence of jowls, enhancing a youthful appearance over time.

Are there non-surgical options to test chin augmentation results?

Yes, dermal fillers can provide a temporary preview of chin augmentation results, allowing patients to test the look before committing to a surgical implant. This option lasts 6-12 months.
