Schedule AppointmentChin Augmentation Procedure
Chin augmentation is a relatively simple outpatient procedure that can be performed in 30 to 60 minutes using local anesthesia or general anesthesia. A small incision is created underneath the chin or inside the mouth where the lip meets the gums. The implant is inserted through one of these incisions and positioned over the jaw bone. Bandages and a compression garment are placed around the chin after the surgery is completed.
Combining Chin Augmentation with Other Procedures
Some patients can achieve the best results by combining their chin augmentation with other facial procedures. To produce the ideal facial aesthetic, Dr. Mendieta often performs chin augmentation in conjunction with:
-
Recovery
Chin augmentation requires minimal downtime, and patients can resume working within one week of undergoing the procedure. Minor swelling, bruising, and soreness can be expected, but these should subside quickly. Patients should sleep with their head elevated for two weeks to control postoperative side effects and help with the healing process.
Exercise
Strenuous activity, including exercise, can be continued three to four weeks after chin augmentation surgery. All physical limitations will be explained in the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Mendieta. -
Results
Patients who undergo chin augmentation surgery can enjoy permanent facial contouring results. However, if the implant is damaged due to blunt trauma, it may need to be replaced or removed during a secondary procedure.

FAQ
-
How much does chin augmentation cost?
The cost of chin augmentation depends on surgical fees, geographical location, and anesthesia fees. An accurate price for your procedure will be calculated during the initial consultation appointment with Dr. Mendieta. But there are convenient options for financing your cosmetic procedure.
-
What are the potential risks associated with chin augmentation?
Patients rarely experience severe complications after chin augmentation. However, some of the possible risks may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Prolonged swelling
- Abnormal reaction to anesthesia
- Implant shifting
-
Will I have scarring after chin augmentation?
It is uncommon for patients to develop visible scarring after chin augmentation. This is because the incisions created during surgery are small and sometimes placed inside the mouth. Individuals susceptible to hypertrophic scarring may not be good candidates for chin augmentation through an incision underneath the chin.
-
How should I prepare for my chin augmentation?
As with most surgeries, chin augmentation patients are advised to stop smoking six weeks before and after their procedure. They are also asked to stop taking anti-inflammatory medications and supplements for at least two weeks before their scheduled surgery to minimize bleeding and postoperative bruising.
