Strengthen chin projection and profile balance with an implant selected for the individual skeleton. Chin augmentation is planned in relationship to the nose, lips, jawline and bite. Implant size, shape and access route are chosen to support balance without creating an oversized or artificial contour. Candidacy and planning require consultation.
Chin projection is evaluated with the nose, lips, jawline, bite and lower-face height; an implant changes skeletal contour but not dental alignment. Chin augmentation is planned in relationship to the nose, lips, jawline and bite. Candidacy and planning require consultation.
Preformed implant selection. Under-chin or intraoral access. Pocket creation over the chin bone. Fixation when required Chin augmentation is planned in relationship to the nose, lips, jawline and bite. Implant size, shape and access route are chosen to support balance without creating an oversized or artificial contour. Candidacy and planning require consultation.
Swelling, tightness and lower-lip or chin numbness may occur early. A soft diet may be used depending on access. Bleeding, infection, fluid collection and delayed healing. Temporary or lasting numbness, asymmetry, contour irregularity or an unfavorable scar. Candidacy and planning require consultation.

Overview
Chin augmentation is planned in relationship to the nose, lips, jawline and bite. Implant size, shape and access route are chosen to support balance without creating an oversized or artificial contour.
Prepare
A well-planned procedure begins before treatment day.
Procedure
Chin projection is evaluated with the nose, lips, jawline, bite and lower-face height; an implant changes skeletal contour but not dental alignment.
Techniques
Technique is selected only after examination, goals and safety considerations are aligned.
Recovery
The early view is never the final result. Follow-up allows swelling, sensation, scars and contour to be assessed over time.
Risks + alternatives
Every procedure has limitations and alternatives. Consultation should make both clear.
Questions
Start with the indication: the precise anatomical or functional finding the procedure is intended to treat—and why that approach fits better than the alternatives.
A chin implant may be appropriate when limited bony chin projection makes the lower face look recessed relative to the nose, lips and jawline, while the bite and jaw relationship are otherwise acceptable. If there is major bite misalignment, facial asymmetry or a skeletal jaw discrepancy, orthodontic evaluation, sliding genioplasty or jaw surgery may address the cause more directly. Filler can offer a temporary, non-surgical comparison in selected patients.
The indication above defines the anatomical problem the procedure can address. It cannot promise symmetry, stop aging or correct concerns that arise from a different tissue layer.
Timing varies by procedure and healing; early swelling, firmness or asymmetry should not be mistaken for the final contour.
