Chin Lift Surgery

Chin augmentation involves increasing or reducing the volume and projection of the chin to achieve a more balanced look to the face. Dr. Diaz uses implants as his preferred method. During a consultation, Dr. Diaz can determine which procedure is best for you by taking detailed photographs and simulating what your chin will look like after surgery.

Procedure

Dr. Diaz performs chin lifts in many different ways. If you desire a chin with more volume, an incision is made inside the mouth near the area of the chin so that no external scars are visible. The implant is then inserted in a way that augments the chin and makes it feel natural.

For those wanting a chin reduction, a thorough examination is needed with Dr. Diaz in order to recommend the most appropriate procedure.

Recovery

There is little bruising after a chin enhancement and swelling will subside in approximately two weeks. A special tape is worn around the chin for approximately one week, after which most people can return to work.

Results

This patient received a chin augmentation to create a more harmonious look among his facial features. Dr. Diaz used a medium size chin implant, which produced a stronger looking chin with improved projection.
