Chin Augmentation
Chin Augmentation, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure offered at CK Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles designed to enhance the projection and balance of a receding or underdeveloped chin. This effective treatment uses either a surgical implant or fat transfer to create a more prominent and defined chin, bringing it into better proportion with other facial features like the nose and forehead. Ideal for individuals seeking to improve their profile, strengthen their jawline, or achieve overall facial harmony, Chin Augmentation is meticulously customized to deliver natural-looking and impactful results that enhance your unique beauty.
Features & Benefits
Improved Facial Profile & Balance
Directly addresses a receding chin, creating a stronger and more defined lower face that beautifully balances the nose, forehead, and overall facial proportions for an aesthetically pleasing profile.
Enhanced Jawline Definition
Benefit: A more projected chin contributes to a clearer and more sculpted jawline, reducing the appearance of a "double chin" or loose skin under the jaw, and providing a more youthful and contoured lower face.
Customized Augmentation Options
Provides a lasting solution for an underdeveloped chin, delivering permanent refinement to your facial profile that boosts confidence and enhances your appearance for years to come.
Permanent & Significant Aesthetic Improvement
Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the chin and jaw area. A compression garment may be worn to help reduce swelling. Most initial swelling subsides within 1-2 weeks, but full resolution can take a few months. Patients can usually return to light activities within a few days, and a soft diet may be recommended initially.

What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin Augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that increases the projection and definition of the chin. It is performed to correct a receding chin, improve facial symmetry, and enhance the overall balance of your facial features, often by placing a small, biocompatible implant or using fat transfer.
How is Chin Augmentation performed?
Chin Augmentation can be performed using different techniques. Often, a small incision is made either inside the mouth (along the lower lip) or discreetly under the chin. A customized implant, usually made of solid silicone, is then carefully placed around the existing chin bone. Alternatively, fat harvested from another part of your body can be transferred to augment the chin. The incision is then meticulously closed.
What is the recovery process like after Chin Augmentation?
Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the chin and jaw area. A compression garment may be worn to help reduce swelling.
