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 enhancements with rhinoplasty to improve balance in the projection of the chin and nose.

Chin Augmentation FAQs
A chin implant is designed to provide a permanent enhancement to your facial profile. Because the implant is made from a durable medical-grade silicone, it typically lasts a lifetime without needing to be replaced. Dr. Ladner carefully selects the implant that best complements your facial anatomy to create balanced, natural-looking results that stand the test of time.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable recovery is following chin augmentation. Mild soreness, swelling, and tightness are expected during the first few days, but these symptoms are typically well controlled with prescribed medication and improve quickly. Our team provides detailed postoperative instructions to help ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
Once healing is complete, most patients no longer notice their implant during everyday activities. Because the implant becomes well integrated with the surrounding tissues, it typically feels like a natural part of your facial structure while providing lasting definition and balance.
Both treatments can enhance the appearance of the chin, but they serve different purposes. Chin implants offer a permanent solution for improving projection and facial balance, while dermal fillers provide temporary enhancement without surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Ladner will evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss which option is best suited to your goals and desired outcome.
Dr. Ladner places incisions in discreet locations to minimize visible scarring. As healing progresses, scars typically become difficult to detect, allowing the focus to remain on your beautifully balanced results.
