This surgery brings several advantages for you to consider.
There are other techniques for enhancing your chin, like dermal fillers or jaw surgery. However, fillers are only a temporary solution, since your body will metabolize them over time. With jaw surgery, the treatment plan is more extensive and requires a much longer healing period. A chin augmentation can provide long-lasting benefits through a less involved process.
Often, patients are hesitant to undergo a chin augmentation because they don’t want their results to look too exaggerated. Luckily, chin implants can look very natural. These devices come in various shapes and sizes, so you can customize them to match the look you want to achieve.
Your surgeon will insert a silicone chin implant into a tiny incision inside your lower lip. This location will conceal the resulting scar during day-to-day interactions, so the only person who will know about your chin augmentation is you. You’ll experience mild discomfort a day or two after your surgery, and should be free to go about your life as normal within a week.

Once the implant is in place, Dr. Perez-Gurri will close the incision while our highly skilled medical staff will take you to recovery.

For approximately three days following the procedure, you will need to remain on a liquid-only diet. Your surgeon will provide pain medication , antibiotics and discharge instructions that accompany these prescription drugs and at home care.
Typically, most patients can return to work or their normal activities after seven days. If your work requires strenuous activities, you may need a few more days to recover.

Multiple studies have shown that smoking has an adverse effect on tissues and will often delay healing. We ask that you stop smoking for two to three weeks prior to your surgery. Although this will not prevent all adversities on your healing, it will likely improve pulmonary function.
It will take approximately 45 to 60 minutes. However, it may take longer depending on how many procedures are performed in conjunction with the mentoplasty.
Chin implants are small, solid devices made from a biocompatible material, usually silicone, that has been molded to fit around a patient’s chin bone. Chin implants vary in size and contour. Dr. Perez-Gurri and Dr. Garcia will help you choose a custom implant that will achieve your desired degree of enhancement and provide the most natural-looking result.
The normal processes of aging and gravity that cause continued laxity of the tissues can eventually lead to future tissue sagging and may affect the position of your chin as you age.
Every patient will be different. However, most patients will experience moderate swelling and minor bruising following their mentoplasty. Swelling usually reaches its peak during the first 48 to 72 hours following your surgery.
The cost of chin implant surgery varies based on your individual procedure, but Dr. Garcia or Dr. Perez-Gurri will be able to provide you with an estimated cost during your consultation.
