The best candidates for chin augmentation surgery do not smoke, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations of their results. This procedure is ideal for individuals with a "weak" or recessed chin who wish to improve their facial balance and profile.

Chin augmentation surgery creates a stronger, natural-looking jawline that is balanced with the rest of the face. Benefits include: • Correcting the appearance of a recessed chin. • Improving the definition of the jawline. • Balancing other facial features, such as making a prominent nose appear smaller.

Chin augmentation is typically performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Kim makes a small incision just beneath the chin, and the implant is permanently secured to the bone. The incision is closed with removable sutures. This placement ensures that any resulting scar is not easily visible.

Yes. To achieve overall facial harmony, adult patients often benefit from combining chin implants with other procedures such as facelift surgery,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/facelift) mini facelift surgery,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/facelift) or cheek augmentation.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/cheek-augmentation) Additionally, chin liposuction (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/chin-liposuction)(submental liposuction) is a popular combination to further define the jawline.

You will likely feel well enough to be up on your feet the night of your procedure. It is common to experience some numbness and soreness in the chin area. Dr. Kim suggests resting and sleeping with your head elevated to ensure proper circulation. While light exercise can be resumed quickly, strenuous activity must be avoided for at least two weeks. Dr. Kim provides all patients with his cell phone number so he can be reached at any time during recovery.

The surgery is performed under anesthesia to eliminate discomfort during the procedure. Any post-operative swelling, bruising, or tenderness can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. A soft-food diet is initially recommended to minimize strain on the jaw.

Because an external incision is made beneath the chin, there will be a minor scar. Dr. Kim pays meticulous attention to the size and placement of this incision to ensure it is discreet. Scars fade over time and can be further improved with topical scar creams.

At New Look New Life,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/) chin augmentation starts as low as $5,000. The total cost varies based on the chosen implants, anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up care. We offer financing options through CareCredit® (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing-quote)to help make your procedure more accessible.

Patients must stop smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs) for at least 10 to 14 days before and after surgery. You should also arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from our surgical center on the day of your procedure.

While chin augmentation adds shape and definition—which can lessen the prominence of a double chin—it does not remove fat. For fat removal, Dr. Kim may recommend submental liposuction (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/chin-liposuction)in conjunction with your implant.
