What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses a chin implant to improve a receding chin. The surgery can create a more balanced profile and better facial harmony. With the help of chin implants, patients can add definition and volume to their weak and recessed chin.
Our chin plays a crucial role in the symmetry and aesthetics of our face. All of our facial features give character to our appearance, including the chin. For ages, we have associated a strong, well-defined chin with strength and courage and a poorly defined chin with weakness.
Chin enhancement improves the contours and definition of the chin, jawline, and neck. This surgery is also called genioplasty. During the surgery, Dr. Batniji places a custom-made chin implant in the patient’s chin, augmenting their chin size and making it look more pronounced. Chin augmentation surgery can provide permanent results.
What Are Chin Implants Made Of?
Is a Chin Augmentation the Right Option for Me?
You can opt for a chin-enhancement surgery if you feel that your chin isn’t in proper proportion with the rest of your face. You can also opt for a chin implant if you are unhappy with your recessed chin.
Sometimes, some people look like they have a double chin despite not being chubby. This is because they have a small chin bone. Augmenting chin size can help them correct this issue by creating better definition.
Chin augmentation is appropriate for healthy men and women who have reasonable expectations. Non-smokers are preferred.
Augmentation can also be achieved with the use of the injectable filler Radiesse. This is a good alternative for those individuals who are not yet ready for an implant.

Is It Safe to Have Another Plastic Surgery with My Chin Implant Procedure?
Dr. Batniji often performs chin augmentations in conjunction with other facial procedures at his Newport Beach practice. These include rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, cervical lipectomy, submentoplasty, neck lifts, and facelifts.
What Happens During Chin Augmentation Surgery with Dr. Batniji?
Once the anesthesia is administered, Dr. Batniji proceeds to make an incision in the chin area. This incision is utilized to place the chin implant expertly on the chin bone.
The chin implant may be placed through one of two locations: underneath the chin or inside the mouth. Dr. Batniji tends to prefer the chin incision.
The incision on the chin is well hidden and allows other procedures like neck liposuction and submentoplasty to be performed through the same incision. The incision inside of the mouth can also have a higher risk of infection, requiring implant removal).
The incision is stitched shut after the implant is placed. Bandages may be applied to the chin to expedite the overall healing process.
What Will My Recovery Be Like After Getting a Chin Implant?
Some amount of swelling, bruising, and discomfort can be expected after your chin implant surgery in Newport Beach. Discomfort can be treated with medication. Dressings applied after surgery will be removed on the following day.
You will likely find that you can return to work within one week of your surgery. However, you will be advised to wait several weeks before partaking in more strenuous activities, particularly those in which the face may be bumped or jarred.
