Chin Augmentation

Introduction

Introduction to Chin Augmentation

Who doesn’t admire a crisp, defined jawline that adds elegant structure to the face, enhances chin definition, and creates a more sculpted, youthful appearance? Unsurprisingly, many seek to enhance or reinforce their chin to achieve that coveted, balanced “V” shape. While genetics, aging, or past trauma can influence the natural contours of the chin, the good news is that these features can be thoughtfully and beautifully reshaped.

Chin augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure that enhances the size and shape of the chin to attain facial symmetry and balance. This minimally invasive procedure adds definition to the jaw, reduces the appearance of a double chin, and enhances your facial profile by adding silicone-based implants to the natural bone structure of the chin.

If you desire a stronger chin with increased jawline definition, schedule a consultation with double-board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Maryam Saheb-Al-Zamani to learn more about chin augmentation in Beverly Hills and the greater Los Angeles area.

What to expect
on the Day of Chin Augmentation Surgery

On the day of your chin augmentation surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Zamani and her staff will welcome you, get you settled in the state-of-the-art surgical suite, and review your surgical plan to ensure you are fully comfortable to proceed. Once you give the go-ahead, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer anesthesia to ensure that you are pain-free during the entirety of the procedure.

Once you are sedated, Dr. Zamani will skillfully make a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth to create minimal scarring. Once she has access to the underlying tissue, she will slowly nudge the customized and medically sanitized implant into the pocket under your natural chin, constantly checking the profile and ensuring facial balance and symmetry.
