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.

What are the Benefits of A Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg yields subtle yet dramatic changes to your facial structure, offering several great advantages, such as:

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.
