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
Amazing results - I look better than I ever have in my life - Dr Aflaki is a magician. I am so happy with my results . I was back to work in 2 weeks after TT and arm lift. Zero pain after 2 days. The scars are almost gone. I look better than i ever have in my life!
I had my breast augmentation back in May 2024. I am so happy with Dr. Aflaki and the work that he has done. I am close to 4 months post op and am absolutely in love with them. I was so scared to get it done because of all the horror stories I have heard from peers of them getting this procedure done at other places. But this is something I have always dreamed of and when I came in for my consultation I was greeted so warmly from the front desk ladies and the nurse that attended me that day Nurse Jamie was so reassuring and nice. After meeting the Dr I realized that this is an office I could trust. The healing process was smooth, I understand every case is different. For me I wasn't continuously bleeding as I heard that is something a lot of people go through. If I were to do it again I would.
My wife had a procedure done over a decade ago that she has been very happy with. As well, we really appreciated the demeanor and the way the doctor works, no pressure, no false promises. She just had a procedure done about a week ago that was significantly more invasive than her first one. We drove back to Fredericksburg from New England because of the trust and relationship that had developed with Dr. Batista's practice. She had many options in New England but the relationships were not there and the demeanor of the practices were far more aggressive in pushing products. She has a healing process ahead but I think she will be very pleased with the outcome and I'm sure we will return if she wants any other procedures.
Dr. Bautista is incredibly knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. The overall experience exceeded my expectations and I'm extremely happy with the results. I should have come years ago! Less cost than I anticipated. Treated like a Queen! Highly recommended. Will come again.
If you are looking for a surgeon to trust with your aesthetic surgery, Dr. Bautista is a great choice! Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg is worth looking into for anyone in the Fredericksburg, Richmond, or Northern VA area. Dr. Bautista is a kind, professional, and honest surgeon who is straightforward and very good at what he does. Dr. Bautista ensured that I felt confident in the plan and fully understood the risks and benefits of the procedure. I work in healthcare so I had lots of questions related to my procedure and he (and his staff) took the time to make sure to answer all of my questions and accommodate extra appointments. The costs were fair and straightforward and there were no "hidden fees".
