What about a double chin?

Chin implants are designed to offer patients a sharper, stronger look to their jawline if their projection is deficient. Those who have a "double chin" may also be candidates for a FaceTite, Morpheus8 and liposuction procedure where the fat within the chin and neck is removed and the jawline is sculpted and defined.

Will sensation return to normal?

It will be very normal to feel numbness and a change in skin sensation following chin augmentation surgery. As the implant gets used to its new habitat, nearby tissue and jaw line structures will also get used to having it there. Several weeks after surgery, this heightened sensation will begin to subside, and, over time, normal sensitivity will gradually reappear. It may take up to a full year for patients to regain full sensitivity.

Will I have visible scars?

Scarring is very minimal with chin augmentation surgery because the incision is placed either on the inside of the mouth, where it is completely hidden, or it is made under the chin. Even the incision done under the chin will be mostly concealed or hard to see during social situations.

Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure to improve the overall appearance by enhancing the chin position.

A weaker chin could make the entire face less balanced, and many people seek chin augmentation to achieve a more harmonious, attractive look. It is often done in conjunction with submental liposuction, FaceTite, Morpheus8, and even buccal fat pad reduction. The position of the chin as well as the definition of the jawline and neck line is considered in offering the best treatment options.
