Chin augmentation is an operation to improve your facial proportions if you have a weak chin. Usually, your surgeon creates a pocket or space in front of your chin bone into which they place an implant. The incision for making the pocket can be placed inside your lower lip or under your chin.
Each incision location has advantages. The most obvious benefit of making the incision inside the mouth is that there is no visible scar. The advantage of making the incision under the chin is that it’s easier to place the implant exactly where you want it.

How Does Chin Augmentation Without an Implant Work?
An alternative to chin augmentation using a customized chin implant is a procedure known as a sliding or advancement genioplasty. In this procedure, the chin bone is cut horizontally and moved forward. The bone is then fixed in the new position with metal appliances and screws.
While plastic surgeons perform this procedure, oral surgeons most commonly perform it. This operation is usually best for when a receding chin is very severe.
Don’t stress about choosing the right approach on your own. That’s what your consultation is for! When you meet with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons, you’ll discuss your desired results to decide which procedure would best help you achieve them. With computer imaging, you’ll also get to “see” what the result would look like with more or less correction.
You and your surgeon may also discuss complementary procedures to complete your look. For example, lots of people choose to have chin augmentation done at the same time as rhinoplasty or buccal fat removal. This makes a big difference in your profile and facial contours while maintaining a look that’s uniquely you.

Considering Chin Augmentation in San Diego? Here’s What To Expect During Your Recovery
