Chin Augmentation Before & After Case 144

A small chin can make the face appear more child-like and/or the cheeks relatively "too fat" or cherub in appearance. Plastic surgery of the chin can help improve facial proportions not only to make a chin larger, but also help for a more balanced face.

Chin surgery is primarily performed with an implant. Silicone is the most popular facial implant, due to factors such as the ease of placement, range of sizes, and natural results. Chin augmentation surgery usually takes less than an hour via an incision hidden under the chin. 

This Washington DC gentleman researched facial sculpting options online. He reported that the cheeks were too large and chin relatively to small. He consulted with Dr. Chaboki to review pros/cons of plastic surgery, which included computer simulation and "trying" a variety of implant sizes in the office. After photographs demonstrate results several weeks after chin augmentation with an extra large silicone implant. Not only is the chin and jawline more proportionate and defined, but in his case the face is less cherub in appearance without needing to perform buccal fat reduction.
