Procedure Overview
A recessive chin can be the result of heredity, age-related bone absorption, or injury. Chin augmentation is designed to create a more aesthetically pleasing profile and jaw line by enhancing facial contours and intensifying the bone structure.
The board-certified and board-eligible plastic surgeons at St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery will first conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the level of improvement needed. Photographic analysis will be performed including computer imaging that will simulate your possible final results.

Your Surgery
Chin enhancement surgery is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation. Small incisions are made in a small fold under the chin or inside the mouth in order to minimize scarring. The correct implant size and shape is then inserted through the incisions and positioned accordingly. This procedure is typically completed within 1 hour for most people, but may be more or less depending on the extent of the surgery.
