This beautiful young patient was concerned the shape of her chin and jawline which bothered her for years. With a recessed chin and some minor fullness of the lower cheek area we discussed a chin implant through an incision under the chin and a minor amount of cheek fat pad excision, called buccal fat pad removal. A minor rhinoplasty was also accomplished to help elevate the tip and slightly reduce the bridge. Dr. Suzman perform this procedure at the Rye ambulatory surgery center in Westchester County New York. with general anesthesia, it took about 2 hours. Patient was able to home 2 hours after surgery and healed wonderfully.

Chin augmentation choices

For ppatients with a recessed chin to desire a stronger jawline contour, there are a few surgical options:

The most effective and most common safe option for chin augmentation is using a small implant.  It is place under the chin muscle skin and fat tissues. The  implants are comfortable, safe, and last tensely forever.

in patients have significant jowl deformities or poor alignment of teeth, sometimes the jaw can be advanced over the chin advanced by reshaping the bones in a procedure called osseous genioplasty.  This is less common and often done by plastic surgeons with special expertise in maxillofacial surgery.

For minor advancement of the chin, Dr. Suzman often performs fat grafting procedures.  Using Lipo suction  from another part of the body, fat is gently removed filter and injected along the jawline and chin which can create a lasting and pleasing difference.  The chin cannot be advanced quite as much is as with an implant, but  the results can still be wonderful.
