A well-defined chin plays a major role in creating facial balance. If your chin feels recessed or lacks projection, it can affect how your jawline, neck, and even nose appear in profile. Chin augmentation with an implant is a surgical solution that enhances your lower face, improves proportions, and strengthens your overall appearance—without making you look unnatural or overdone.
At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow performs chin augmentation with implants to help patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ achieve a more refined and confident facial profile.
What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that improves the size, shape, and projection of the chin using a biocompatible implant. It is designed to enhance facial harmony by improving the relationship between the chin, neck, and other features.
Chin implants can help:
- Strengthen a weak or recessed chin
- Improve facial symmetry and proportion
- Define the jawline and improve neck contour
- Create better balance with the nose (especially after rhinoplasty)
The procedure is highly customizable based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
How the Procedure Works
Chin augmentation with an implant is typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation in a certified surgical facility. The implant is placed through a small incision, usually hidden under the chin or inside the mouth, to avoid visible scarring.
Dr. Brandow uses soft, flexible implants that are designed to feel natural and blend seamlessly with your existing bone structure.
After the procedure:
- Swelling and tightness are normal for the first 1–2 weeks
- Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days
- Results are visible immediately and continue to refine as swelling subsides
The implants are permanent and require no maintenance. Most patients enjoy long-lasting improvements that age naturally with the rest of the face.
Who Is a Candidate for Chin Implants?
You may be a good candidate for chin augmentation if:
- You have a naturally small or underdeveloped chin
- You feel your jawline lacks definition or strength
- You want to improve your facial profile without altering other features
- You’re in good health and have realistic expectations
Chin implants can also be combined with procedures such as neck lift, liposuction, or rhinoplasty for more comprehensive enhancement.
