Chin Augmentation Westchester NY

What Is Chin Augmentation

The chin plays a big role in visually balancing out your face. Whether you’d like to see yourself with a more or less prominent chin, you dream can become a reality.

Chin Augmentation (plastic surgery performed on the chin) is usually performed to reshape an under-projected chin. Dr. Samuel Beran, one of Westchester’s leading cosmetic surgeons, specializes in creating a natural-looking chin based on the patient’s requests.

This procedure is generally done through surgical incisions below the chin area. Here, an implant is placed onto the bone to help increase contour and symmetry of the face. These implants generally last a lifetime and have very low complication rates. Recovery time is typically quicker than other cosmetic procedures as well.

Chin Augmentation & Rhinoplasty

Patients with a receding chin may benefit from chin augmentation in addition to rhinoplasty in order to achieve a better balance of their facial features. Chin augmentation can strengthen the appearance of the chin by increasing its projection, but this does not affect your bite or dental work. The most common chin augmentation procedure requires insertion of an implant through a small incision underneath your chin.

Chin Augementation FAQs

What does chin augmentation do?

Chin augmentation adds more shape to the chin. Usually it is for someone whose chin looks small, set back, or out of balance with the rest of the face. A lot of people notice it most from the side.

How is the procedure done?

A chin implant is placed through a small incision under the chin. The implant sits over the bone to give the area more projection. The size and shape are not picked randomly. They are chosen around the person’s face.

Can chin augmentation be done with nose surgery?

Yes. Some people have chin augmentation at the same time as rhinoplasty. That can make sense when the side profile looks unbalanced because of both the nose and the chin.

Will it change my teeth or bite?

No. Chin augmentation does not move the teeth or change the bite. It is not the same thing as jaw surgery or orthodontic treatment.

How long does a chin implant last?

Chin implants are made to be long lasting. They are not usually something that needs to be replaced every few years. Still, healing and results are different from person to person.

How much does chin augmentation cost?

There is not one price that fits everyone. Cost depends on the plan, the implant, and whether anything else is being done at the same time. That is usually discussed after the consultation.
