Chin Augmentation Before & After Case 79

Plastic surgeons generally assess the entire face during a cosmetic surgery consultation, not just a specific facial area. A small chin relative to the face creates imbalance, so more attention is drawn to undesirable areas of the face. Patients with a small or "double" chin may benefit from chin augmentation with a silicone implant, neck liposuction, and/or a lower facelift.

This patient complained of a small chin relative to his face and considered plastic surgery for years. With a cosmetic surgery consultation, a computer simulation with Dr. Chaboki helped him appreciate potential results with a silicone chin implant. He chose a large size implant to improve the chin and jawline. Dr. Chaboki provided a natural result via a small hidden incision under the chin. His lower jawline and chin are now better balanced with the rest of his face. In addition, the neck area has improved without needing a facelift or neck lift.
