Chin Augmentation in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is a Chin Augmentation?
Mentoplasty (chin augmentation) is a popular cosmetic treatment that improves the look of the jawline and chin for men and women with a recessed chin or one they feel is too prominent. A chin's lack of shape and size can often create an undefined profile. Chin augmentation can be performed to enhance your chin, but one of the most effective procedures is placing a silicone implant to reconstruct a stronger jawline and a more defined profile. In Fredericksburg, VA, plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki offer many options to consider for augmenting your chin. Aside from implants, which come in several sizes and shapes, noninvasive treatments such as injectable fillers or KYBELLA® can be used to add contour. For prominent chins, genioplasty might be an option. This surgery at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg removes bone to reshape your chin and jaw to a more appealing size.
How Is a Chin Augmentation Performed?
During this procedure, anesthesia will be administered. An incision is made beneath your chin. In this incision, a pocket is formed to secure the implant properly, which involves shaving some of the bone to make grooves to hold your implant in position. The implant is placed through the incision and positioned over the bone, directly below your bottom lip. Sometimes, the incision can also be made inside the lip where it connects to your gumline. Regardless, both help to hide scars. Thin stitches are used to close the incisions safely, and your chin will be wrapped with bandages.

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
On August 21st I under went surgery, tummy tuck and lipo 360… I did a lot of research and decided to go with Dr. Aflaki, I followed him on social media and looked out for reviews from other patients of his, for about 6 months before deciding to go forward. I was always amazed at his work and I am very happy I chose him…Dr. Aflaki was very professional, he went over so much with me that I never felt in the dark. I went into surgery very confidently having him as my Dr. He is also pleasant to be around, check ups always went very smooth, always felt comfortable and take care of. His staff was also wonderful to me and made sure my caretaker knew everything he needed to know to care for me after surgery. I am overall very happy with the outcome! My results are amazing! My pre-surgery video was taken Aug 21st, the morning of surgery. My post-surgery photo was taken 2 months and 2 weeks. I feel great, physically and mentally!! Thank you so much Dr. Aflaki and his team at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg!
When researching doctors for my rhinoplasty. I visited with a couple of different plastic surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasties but Dr. Aflaki was the obvious choice from the first consult. He took his time explaining everything and removing all doubts about the procedure which made me feel incredibly relieved and more confident to move forward. I ended up having a rhinoplasty and the procedure itself was so much easier than I could have imagined. Recovery was a breeze and painless. which was surprising. I closely followed instructions from Dr.Aflaki everything went really smoothly. I was already feeling like myself after a few days. I’m just over 2 months post-op and am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Aflaki is an amazing Dr. The changes to my appearance are exactly what I wanted and what we discussed during the consult. I been checking with him for two moths I can I sure you you are in good hands If choose you Dr. Aflaki!
Dr. Bautista is the Only One I Trust. - Dr. Bautista did my breast augmentation surgery in 2005, and I was extremely pleased with the results. I decided to go back to him in 2024 to have my breasts redone, since they were almost 20 years old. I had no issues with them, but I wanted to go a little bigger and Dr. Bautista is the only one I trust to do the surgery. In fact, I even followed up my breast surgery with cool sculpting and am very pleased with the those results as well. He and his staff are extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for any cosmetic needs you may have.
Procedure changed my life - Dr Heppe transferred body fat into my aging hands. He made sure I wasn’t in any pain, did it expediently and recovery was easy. I’m one hundred percent satisfied. I no longer feel the need to hide my “ugly old hand”. I am now feeling confident and free. Great job Dr. Heppe! Thank you.
My experience with Dr. Aflaki and everyone at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg has been nothing short of amazing! From consultation to post-operative follow-ups, I have been in the very best hands. I am extremely pleased with my healing, recovery and results! Thank you, Dr. Aflaki, for changing my life!

Chin Augmentation FAQ
How much does chin augmentation cost?
We can estimate your total cost for chin augmentation in your consultation as soon as your treatment plan is created. Your costs will be based on the type and size of implant you select, along with anesthesia, facility, and surgical fees. A surgery like a chin implant can give you great, long-lasting results, so it is wise to concentrate on finding a Plastic Surgeon you trust with experience and proven results instead of shopping for the lowest price. Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg accepts several payment methods, and we will give you information on low-interest financing, which can make your chin surgery easier to afford.
Will augmentation fix my double chin?
Surgical chin augmentation is meant to give your lower face a stronger, sharper look. If you are concerned about a double chin, you might prefer a liposuction procedure to remove excess fat in your upper neck below the jawline (the submental area). Occasionally, neck liposuction on its own can create a better profile and look without a chin implant. During your consultation, we will discuss your options and review suggestions to help you meet your goals.
Can I combine other facial surgeries with chin augmentation?
Some patients combine chin augmentation with other facial surgeries, such as cheek implants or rhinoplasty. During your initial consultation, we will help you decide which procedures best suit your needs and wants. It might be challenging to determine which procedure(s) will be best for you, which is why a consultation is crucial. Our team will use their years of experience and eye for aesthetically pleasing results to help you create your personalized treatment plan.
