Chin augmentation is a popular aesthetic treatment that reshapes the chin for men and women who have a recessed or weak chin. Many times when a chin is too small, it can create a lack of profile definition. Cosmetic chin surgery (also known as mentoplasty) can be performed to enhance your chin, but one of the most effective procedures is using a silicone implant to create a stronger jawline and a more defined profile. In Argyle, TX, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Kasden offers various implant options to consider for your chin augmentation. For oversized chins, genioplasty may be considered. This surgery at the plastic surgery office of Scott E. Kasden, M.D. shaves and removes bone to reduce your chin and jaw to a smaller size.

"Not only being very professional Dr.Aladdin paid special attention to every detail of repairing my ear lobe. He made me feel relaxed and I didn’t feel any pain. To top it off three weeks later he pierced my ear lobe so I could wear earrings again, and of course he followed up with another appointment to check up again. I would highly recommend Dr.Kasden"

Chin augmentation is a treatment for both women and men. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your chin and dislike the weak profile it creates, chin augmentation can redefine the lower aspect of your face. It is also common for some of our patients to combine rhinoplasty along with their chin augmentation treatment. This combined approach offers a great opportunity for the features of your face to be balanced and symmetrical.
During chin augmentation, general anesthesia is used, or IV sedation in some cases. An incision is placed under your chin. Through this incision, a surgical pocket is formed to secure the implant in place, which includes shaving some of the bone to make grooves to hold your implant in position. The implant is inserted through the incision and positioned over the bone, below your bottom lip. In some cases, the incision can also be made inside the lip where it meets your gumline. Both incision points help to hide scars. Tiny stitches are used to safely close the incisions and your lower face will be wrapped with medical garments.
Cosmetic chin surgery produces immediate obvious outcomes, which is usually very exciting for our clients. Although facial swelling and bruising will occur right after your surgery, this is temporary. In most cases, chin augmentation roughly takes two weeks of recovery. Strenuous activity should be avoided during this time period.

Will augmentation fix my double chin?
A chin implants is designed to offer you a sharper, stronger look to the jawline.

Sometimes this technique alone can create a new profile and look without needing to have an implant procedure. Dr. Kasden will discuss your options and his recommendations during your consultation.
Can I combine other facial surgeries with chin augmentation?

Kybella is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce fat in the submental area. This may be enough on its own or Kybella may be combined with chin augmentation for your best results.

What's the difference between mentoplasty and genioplasty?
Mentoplasty is a procedure that adds fullness and shape to the chin. Genioplasty, on the other hand, is a procedure that subtracts density from the chin bone.
