ABOUT CHIN AUGMENTATION
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.

"He is Doctor and Surgeon You Can Trust! - Dr Kasden will talk with you at length about what your goals are and how he can help you achieve them. He will give you honest advice on what to expect every step of the way. This is my second surgery procedure with Dr Kasden. My first was a neck lift with coblation on my face to get rid of fine lines. I am so happy with both results. I have also received Botox many times- always with natural results. He is a surgeon that will follow up on his patients much more than any other doctor I have ever known. He really cares! Sharon, who runs the office, is a joy as well as being professional and helpful. I am grateful to have found Dr Kasden and his staff!"

"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"

"4 months post op - liposuction of abdomen - Dr. Kasden & his staff are AMAZING! Dr. Kasden answered all of my questions and allowed me to schedule multiple consultations prior to making a decision. There was absolutely no pressure. I felt like he actually tried to get to know me on a personal level which is always comforting when having any type of surgery. I had a few questions the day after my surgery & Dr. Kasden answered my call. He even called and checked on me himself a few days later. I've had monthly check ups and am happy with my results. I have already recommended Dr. K to some family and friends!"

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR CHIN AUGMENTATION
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.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR CHIN AUGMENTATION
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.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM CHIN AUGMENTATION
Cosmetic chin surgery produces immediate obvious outcomes, which is usually very exciting for our clients.

Strenuous activity should be avoided during this time period.
