Chin Augmentation
in Englewood Cliffs, NJ

A weak, undefined chin can impact your appearance, making your other facial features look out of proportion. Often, patients concerned about the size or profile of the nose need a stronger jawline to bring the entire facial contour into proper balance. If you feel that your jawline could use additional shaping, customized chin implants can add balance and facial harmony. After chin surgery with implants, patients feel more confident in their appearance, whether the procedure is performed solo or combined with another facial enhancement like nose reshaping surgery.

What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a transformative procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the chin through surgical intervention. This cosmetic enhancement typically involves placing a specially designed implant around the existing chin bone or repositioning the bone to create a more balanced facial profile. Chin augmentation can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial surgeries to achieve optimal facial harmony and proportions. The procedure generally takes between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours to complete, depending on the techniques employed and whether additional procedures are performed simultaneously. Modern chin augmentation techniques offer patients a permanent solution to address concerns about a weak, recessed, or disproportionate chin.

Chin Implants vs. Fillers

Some patients find they can achieve positive results in chin augmentation with non-surgical treatments, such as dermal filler injections. These procedures are also available at Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery, allowing you to enhance your appearance without incisions or anesthesia. However, the results will be temporary, and you will need to come in for regular treatments to maintain them. Many patients who are pleased with the effects of dermal fillers eventually schedule chin implant surgery to achieve a permanent result. Dermal fillers can also be used a few months before surgery to demonstrate your appearance with a stronger, more defined jawline.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

At Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery, we help our patients understand the benefits of chin surgery by assessing their profile during the consultation and showing them sample implants. Dr. Mordkovich offers various treatment options to both older and younger patients who are unhappy with their facial contour due to an underdeveloped chin. In addition, chin augmentation is beneficial for patients with asymmetries along the jawline that can be corrected with implants.

What Is Involved in Chin Implant Surgery?

Preparation
Dr. Mordkovich will have you measured and fitted for your implant one to two weeks before your scheduled chin surgery. Our technician will take a mold of your chin in the office, and Dr. Mordkovich will shape your implant according to the corrective goals you decided on during your consultation.

On the day of your surgery, you will be put under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. You can discuss your preference for anesthesia with Dr. Mordkovich during your consultation. However, the choice may also be determined by whether you have chin augmentation alone or in conjunction with another surgical procedure like rhinoplasty.

To place the implant, Dr. Mordkovich will create a small incision under your chin, which is stretched with a special tool to create an even and convenient pocket for your chin implant. While some surgeons will do chin implant surgery using an incision inside the mouth to eliminate visible scarring, this approach carries a higher risk of infection. For this reason, Dr. Mordkovich prefers the placement underneath the chin, and the implant is inserted just under your jawline.
To minimize any visible scarring afterward, the incision is closed with non-dissolving stitches and sealed with a small compression bandage to ensure clean healing.

How Long Is the Recovery After Chin Augmentation Surgery?

There is some swelling after chin augmentation, but Dr. Mordkovich will send you home with instructions to help you minimize this side effect during your recovery. Swelling subsides within a few days, and any other discomfort you experience after surgery can be managed with pain medication that will be prescribed before your procedure. About seven to 10 days after your procedure, you will return to our office for a follow-up appointment so that Dr. Mordkovich can remove the sutures and assess the healing of your incision. You will probably return to your regular activities by this point, as recovery from chin augmentation typically takes about one week. Dr. Mordkovich will advise you to limit strenuous exercise for a couple of extra weeks to ensure the surgical site has ample time to heal.

When Will I See the Results?

Unlike many surgeries, chin augmentation is a procedure where you can see the results immediately. Adding the implant can change your profile so that you feel more confident in your overall appearance. However, the final results will be visible after the residual swelling disappears.

Candidates for Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation is a commonly requested procedure, often performed alongside other cosmetic procedures to enhance facial balance. A consultation with our plastic surgeon can help determine if this treatment is appropriate. The following groups are typically considered candidates:
Individuals with a naturally recessed or underdeveloped chin
People experiencing facial asymmetry related to chin structure
Patients with sagging skin in the lower face or neck
Adults showing visible signs of aging around the jawline
Individuals in good general health with realistic expectations

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size and shape for my chin implant?

During your consultation, Dr. Mordkovich will evaluate your facial proportions and use imaging tools or physical sizers to help determine which implant will create the most balanced and natural-looking result.
Most chin implants are made from solid silicone or porous polyethylene, which are biocompatible and safe for long-term use in facial surgery.
Allergic reactions are extremely rare, as the materials used are medically approved and tested for compatibility. However, if you have a known sensitivity, Dr. Mordkovich will discuss alternatives.
Chin augmentation is primarily cosmetic, but in some cases, improving jaw structure may provide subtle benefits to posture, airway alignment, or bite balance when combined with other procedures.
Chin implants can be safely removed or replaced if necessary. The procedure is typically straightforward, and most patients recover quickly with minimal side effects.
There may be slight stiffness or tightness around the chin immediately after surgery, but this is temporary. Chin augmentation does not permanently affect speech or chewing.
Before surgery, prepare a comfortable recovery area with extra pillows, soft foods, ice packs, prescribed medications, and easy access to water and your phone. It’s best to avoid bending or lifting for the first few days.
