What is Chin Augmentation Surgery?

Chin augmentation or “mentoplasty” is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the contours of the lower face by redefining the chin and jawline. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to correct a weak, receding, or recessed chin to enhance facial symmetry and create a beautifully balanced profile.

Dr. Mansher Singh, a Harvard and Johns Hopkins-trained plastic surgeon, uses advanced techniques to tailor each chin augmentation procedure to achieve the most attractive outcome. The surgery typically involves the placement of custom chin implants to achieve the desired result. Dr. Singh’s meticulous attention to detail creates a look that balances and enhances overall facial structure.

What Can Chin Augmentation Correct?

Chin augmentation with implants can address a variety of cosmetic concerns related to the lower and mid portions of the face. Dr. Singh’s expertise allows him to enhance the jawline’s appearance, creating a more defined and contoured profile. This procedure is particularly effective in correcting:

A Receding Chin: Enhances the projection of the chin for a more balanced profile.
Lack of Jaw Definition: Creates a stronger, more pronounced jawline.
Facial Imbalance: Improves symmetry, particularly when the chin is out of proportion with other features, such as the nose.
Double Chin: Reduces the appearance of a double chin by adding volume for a more defined chin and jawline.

I’m a bit over one week post op after having a chin implant with a neck lift and neck lipo, the results are amazing.

What is the Surgical Procedure?

Dr. Mansher Singh’s approach to chin augmentation is highly personalized, beginning with an in-depth consultation where he evaluates facial anatomy, speaks with you about your personal aesthetic goals, and offers information on the ideal approach to achieve a very natural-looking, balanced facial enhancement.

Types of Chin Implant Surgeries: The Options

Submental Transcutaneous Approach

This method involves making a small incision beneath the chin, strategically placed within the natural creases of the skin to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Singh then carefully positions the implant over the chin bone, ensuring optimal placement for a natural-looking enhancement. Fine sutures are placed to close the incision.

Intraoral Approach

For a scar-free outcome, Dr. Singh may use the intraoral approach, where the incision is made within the mouth along the inner lining of the lower lip. This method is more complex but leads to no external scarring. The implant is then placed with precision, and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures to expedite recovery.

Types of Chin Implants

Chin augmentation is a highly customizable procedure, with various implant options available to meet each patient’s specific needs:

Silicone Implants: The most popular choice due to their flexibility and ease of shaping, silicone implants provide a natural feel and appearance. They are also straightforward to insert, making them a preferred option for many patients.
Polyethylene Implants: These implants are more rigid and stable, offering a porous structure that allows surrounding tissue to grow and integrate with the implant, providing added stability.
Natural Fat Transfer: Dr. Singh may recommend using the patient’s own fat tissue to enhance chin volume as a natural alternative. Fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs and then carefully injected into the chin to add subtle volume.

Recovery After Chin Implant Surgery

After surgery, Dr. Singh provides detailed at-home care instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. Patients can expect mild swelling, tenderness, and discomfort, which typically subside within the first week. Most patients can return to their daily routines within a week, although strenuous activities and direct facial contact should be avoided to protect the results. Some patients may be advised to wear a supportive chin strap to help maintain the implant’s position and reduce swelling.

Dr. Singh may also prescribe pain relief medication if necessary. The residual swelling resolves within two months. Throughout the recovery, you will have direct access to Dr. Singh, who will provide you with his personal cell phone number. He is focused on ensuring his patients experience a very positive, rewarding experience at every step of the process and is always available to his patients.

When considering chin augmentation, choosing a surgeon with the highest level of expertise and a proven track record of successful outcomes is crucial. Dr. Mansher Singh is a diligent plastic surgeon with advanced training from Harvard and Johns Hopkins, making him exceptionally qualified to perform chin augmentation surgery.

Dr. Singh’s approach to chin augmentation focuses on achieving aesthetic goals and maintaining the natural harmony and balance of the face. His commitment to excellence, personalized care, and patient safety ensures you receive the best possible outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Singh will thoroughly evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs.

What results can I expect?

After chin augmentation surgery, you can expect a more defined, balanced chin and jawline. While individual results vary, you will see a visible improvement in their facial profile, with enhanced overall facial harmony.

Will I need to replace a chin implant later?

Chin implants are designed to provide long-term results. In most cases, there is no need to replace the implants unless a rare complication arises or if you decide to change the size or shape of the implant in the future.

Can I pair chin augmentation with other surgeries?

Yes, chin augmentation is often combined with other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty, facelift, or neck lift. Pairing these surgeries can enhance facial balance between the middle and lower sections of the face, addressing multiple concerns in one operation.

Is the surgery painful, and will there be scarring?

The surgery typically involves minimal discomfort, which can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication during the recovery period. The visibility of scarring depends on the surgical approach chosen by Dr. Singh. Scarring may be slightly visible under the chin, which fades to being virtually invisible when the submental transcutaneous approach is used. However, with the intraoral approach, where the incision is made inside the mouth, there will be no visible scarring on the face.

How much does a chin implant cost?

The cost of chin augmentation may vary based on the type of procedure needed. It is best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Singh’s office for a price estimate.

How long does it take to recover?

Recovery time varies between patients, but most individuals can return to work and daily activities within about a week. Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within this timeframe. It may take several months for the final results to be achieved. Dr. Singh provides detailed aftercare instructions to help expedite your recovery and ensure the best possible outcome.
