Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation refers to procedures that can reshape and enhance the chin and surrounding jawline. Surgical chin augmentation typically involves placing an anatomic chin implant or less commonly, moving the lower chin bone forward to increase chin projection, also known as an ‘osseous genioplasty’ or ‘mentoplasty’.
Non-surgical chin augmentation refers to the use of injectable, FDA-approved fillers that are biologically identical and long-lasting.
THE PROCEDURE
What It Is
Improving chin and jawline contour can have significant benefits in facial profile and appearance as well as provide balance with other facial features, such as the nose. If the chin is under-projecting and out of proportion, it may have a negative impact on the neckline, magnify the appearance of cheek jowls and loss of the jawline, and contribute to the appearance of a larger and out-of-balance nasal profile.
Safe and natural appearing chin enhancement can be accomplished surgically by the placement of a chin implant or, less commonly, sliding the lower chin bone forward. Non-surgical chin augmentation can be effectively done by injection of the patient’s own fat cells or, more commonly, by injectable dermal fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are other options besides chin augmentation?
What is the cost for chin augmentation?
Surgical options for chin enhancement will depend on the cost of the medical chin implant and anesthesia time. The cost for in office injectable fillers for chin augmentation will be determined by the amount and type of natural injectable filler anticipated to reach your goals. All estimated costs will be itemized and fully reviewed with you before your procedure by the EVOLV Patient Coordinator or staff member.
Are all chin augmentations the same?
Not at all. Natural appearing and safe results require experience, training, and the highest-grade FDA approved biomaterials. Individualizing the right procedure to each patient’s unique anatomy and goals requires experienced aesthetic judgement and proper training. Chin implants can vary dramatically in shape, size and quality and need to be selected carefully and individually for each patient.
What is the recovery time for chin augmentation?
Recovery time after chin augmentation will depend upon several factors including technique and treatment approach. Based on the recommended technique, your EVOLV provider will review all your anticipated recovery process and give recommendations on post treatment care.
How long does chin augmentation last?
Chin implants are permanent and will therefore have the longest lasting effect of all augmentation options. Injectable fat augmentation may last for many years while fillers, depending on which type selected, approximately 9 months to 2 years but will gradually diminish. Maintenance programs will also be reviewed with you to keep the quality of your natural enhancement consistent.
