This operation is performed to correct a small or receding chin, resulting in a more dynamic appearance. Often it is combined with nasal surgery to bring both features into better harmony. The procedure is performed by placing a silicone implant over the prominence of the chin through an incision made in the mouth or under the chin. A tape is worn over the chin For 3-5 days. Liquids and soft food are advised during this time. The implant is readily accepted and retained as a natural part of the body and with time the patient will forget about it. Rarely infection or rejection can compromise the result and the implant might have to be removed.

These surgeries are commonplace today with top of the class cosmetic surgeons. There are surgeries like rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation and face lift which complement chin augmentation. We have centers at Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.
