Chin Augmentation Injections
A receding or weak jaw line has a distinct effect on the facial profile by making a normal nose appear large, and giving the neck a fleshy “double chin” appearance. This can lead to camera shyness for some and a greater loss of self-esteem for others.
There is a way to restore balance to your profile, Chin Augmentation.
Chin Augmentation
Chin Augmentation (also called genioplasty or mentoplasty) can bring a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to a profile and reduce the undermining effects of weak jaw line, such as:
- Conspicuousness of the nose
- The illusion of an overbite
- Fleshiness of the neck (turkey waddle)
Strengthening or Augmentation of the Chin’s appearance can be done two ways:
- Micro-Fat Grafting which adds volume along the jaw line
- Permanent injectable fillers
The goal of Chin Augmentation is to restore a balanced relationship to the structure of the face. Chin enhancement is a relatively simple procedure, but still requires sound judgment and a discerning eye, as an overly prominent chin may make a nose appear too small or throw off the balance of the face in some other way.
Preparation
As with all surgeries performed by Dr. Born, patients are prescribed supplements to take before and after the surgery, to help prepare and recover faster and without complications.
Procedure length
Chin Augmentation is an outpatient procedure and takes about an hour.
Recovery
The will be some tenderness in the lower face and neck, with some bruising can take up to three weeks to subside.

What other patients want
Many patients combine Chin Augmentation with procedures such as a Face Lift, Blepharoplasty or Body Contouring to achieve an overall enhancement of their appearance.
