Chin Augmentation
Chin Augmentation refines facial balance by enhancing chin projection and definition for a naturally harmonious profile.
What is it?
Chin Augmentation, also known as Genioplasty or Chin Implant surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the balance and proportion of the face by enhancing the chin’s projection and shape. A well-defined chin plays a key role in facial harmony—particularly in relation to the nose, lips, and jawline.
Dr. Dimitrios Motakis performs Chin Augmentation with refined precision, focusing on subtle enhancement that maintains each patient’s natural identity. Rather than altering how someone looks, the procedure restores balance and structure to the lower face, creating definition and poise that feel entirely authentic.
This procedure is often performed alone or as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan, such as alongside Rhinoplasty or Facelift surgery, to achieve optimal harmony of facial features.
How does it work?
The procedure involves placing a biocompatible implant—carefully selected for size, shape, and contour—through a small incision concealed beneath the chin . The implant is positioned securely over the bone to create natural-looking projection and definition.
Surgery typically takes less than one hour and is performed under general anesthesia. The implant is made from solid silicone which is a safe and stable material, shaped to fit perfectly over the chins natural structure.
Dr. Motakis customizes each procedure based on the patient’s anatomy, ensuring that the result complements their facial proportions and enhances their overall profile without appearing artificial or exaggerated.
Recovery and downtime
Most patients experience swelling and tightness in the lower face for several days after surgery. Discomfort is minimal and well-managed with prescribed medication. Stitches placed under the chin are removed within one week, and patients typically return to work and light activities after 10-14 days.
Bruising is uncommon but can occur. The majority of swelling subsides within two to three weeks, with final contour definition visible within a few months as tissues settle.
The implant becomes fully integrated with the surrounding tissue, providing lasting, natural results that move harmoniously with facial expression.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for Chin Augmentation?
Ideal candidates are individuals with a recessed or under-projected chin who wish to improve balance between the chin, jawline, and other facial features. Patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations.
Will the result look natural?
Yes. Dr. Motakis uses conservative sizing and careful sculptural technique to ensure that the chin enhancement blends seamlessly with your existing features and bone structure.
What kind of implant is used?
Medical-grade silicone implants are most commonly used. They are soft, durable, and designed to feel natural to the touch while maintaining long-term stability.
Can this procedure be combined with others?
Yes. Chin Augmentation is often paired with Rhinoplasty, Neck Liposuction, or a Facelift to enhance overall facial harmony and profile balance.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting and typically permanent. The implant does not degrade over time, though natural aging of surrounding tissues will continue gradually.
Is there visible scarring?
A small Incision is placed discreetly beneath the chin, leaving a scar that are virtually imperceptible once healed.
