Chin Implant (augmentation with implant)

A chin augmentation is typically done to enhance the forward bone contour of the chin area. In my practice, this is usually accomplished with a specialized implant called the “conform” implant designed by Implantech. This procedure reliably augments an under projected chin, resulting in a more proportioned face, the ultimate goal of chin augmentation.

Chin augmentation can also be performed at the time of smartlipo of the neck or a neck of facelift to make the neck more elongated when helpful. A chin implant is often performed with a rhinoplasty as well.

In men, a chin implant results in what is seen as a more masculine appearance.

Alternatives to chin implants



Recently, dermal fillers, specifically Voluma, have been used to achieve the similar goals. Filler enjoys the ease of a minimal recovery without any down time. They are also a great way for someone to “try out” a new look without the commitment of surgery. The down sides to chin fillers are that they typically require multiple tubes to achieve a similar look as a chin implant, and they will have to be repeated every 2 years.
