Defining Your Facial Profile
A chin implant is a silicone device placed directly in front of your jawbone to project the chin forward, enhancing overall facial balance and definition. This procedure is often combined with neck lifts, facelifts, or rhinoplasty to achieve a harmonious look. At Advanced Facial and Nasal Surgical Center, we use customizable implants to ensure natural and proportionate results.
The process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and assess your facial structure. Our surgeons will discuss the various options and develop a personalized plan to enhance your chin and achieve facial harmony.
Preparation for your chin implant includes detailed pre-surgery instructions, dietary guidelines, and any necessary medications. Our team ensures you are fully prepared for a safe and successful surgical experience.
During the chin implant procedure, a small incision is made underneath your chin. The tissues overlying the jawbone are elevated to create a pocket for the implant, which is then positioned and secured with sutures. This approach ensures minimal scarring and a natural appearance.
After surgery, you will need to wear a chin strap dressing for the first few days to support healing. Sutures are removed at a follow-up appointment after one week. Swelling and numbness in the chin are common and typically resolve within a few weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to ensure a smooth recovery.
Choosing Advanced Facial and Nasal Surgical Center for your chin implant procedure means trusting experienced surgeons dedicated to delivering excellent results. We focus on creating a balanced and natural appearance, enhancing your facial features while maintaining your unique identity.

Although rare, there are always risks with surgery. Dr. Song aims to provide you with only the best possible outcome with your procedure, but some potential issues are:
A small incision is made directly underneath your chin, and the tissues directly overlying the jawbone are elevated. A small pocket is made, and the chin implant is seated into position, and secured in place with a multiple suture layered closure.
As one of the central face structures, the chin is important in setting overall balance to the face and helping provide definition. A small or receded chin can change the appearance of someone’s entire face, and skew perception such as making their nose look too large.
A chin implant is a silicone type implant that rests directly in front of your native jawbone at the center of your face to help further project your chin forwards
A chin implant is often incorporated into neck lifts, facelifts, and rhinoplasty surgery if the patient does not have a strong projecting chin. The advantages of an implant are permanent alteration of the chin size, customizable shape and size, and reversibility of the procedure.
