Chin Implant Surgery

Who is a good candidate?

• You have a small or receding chin.
• The receding chin creates the appearance of fullness under the chin and in the neck.
• You have a chin that looks too small in comparison with other facial features.

Description of the Procedure

• The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia.
• An incision is made inside the lower lip or under the chin, and an implant is placed.

Recovery time is approximately one week and the results are permanent.
