Chin Augmentation Surgery
Strong jawbones, defined cheeks, and a chin that matches the nose projection help portray an attractive image and accentuate the qualities of the overlying soft tissue. Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Keith Ladner offers chin augmentation in Denver, CO, to help men and women from Colorado Springs, Parker, Castle Rock, Greenwood Village, and surrounding areas have more defined facial contours and enhanced confidence.
What Is Chin Augmentation Surgery?
A chin augmentation, also known as mentoplasty or genioplasty, is a procedure that enhances the contour of the chin area. Placing an implant fitted to your chin bone accomplishes this look.
How Is Chin Augmentation Performed?
The chin augmentation procedure starts with a small incision in a skin crease below the chin. Dr. Ladner will insert the synthetic implant over the chin bone, secure it in place, and safely close the incision. Dr. Ladner often combines chin augmentation with rhinoplasty to improve balance in the projection of the chin and nose.
Chin Augmentation Recovery Process
Patients can typically return to work within a few days of their chin implant surgery. However, the incision will take around two to three weeks to heal fully, and it is important to follow instructions regarding incision care to avoid infection and minimize scarring. Pain and swelling are minimal, and the sutures will dissolve on their own — no removal is required.
