On the surface, surgery of the chin seems straightforward, especially if an implant is used; however, our experience has shown us that every patient has their own unique requirements. As a result, we work with you to achieve the balanced look you’re looking for as opposed to only talking to you about an “off the shelf” implant.

As we are in Hollywood and recognized as top Los Angeles & Beverly Hills Chin Implants specialists, we are often seen by models and actors who need a stronger presence on film and in photographs. Other Irvine, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and Orange County chin implant patients occasionally present to us initially wanting to make their noses smaller. No matter what your reason for considering chin augmentation or chin implants, the end result should be a balanced relationship within the structure of your face. The key for us at PROFILES is that our chin implant surgeons have worked with some of the world’s top authorities in chin implant surgery and as such are able to work with the various implant types to best accomplish your goals.

Every plastic surgeon is aware of the importance of the balance between the chin and the nose. A large nose will make the chin look smaller and vice versa. The reason people choose us is because we recognize that, as with the nose, the chin presents with incredible variability. Unlike the nose, this diversity often goes unnoticed. And because the chin generally does not carry the same emotional importance as does the nose; many surgeons will note the projection of the chin, but they rarely delve any deeper than that. We welcome you to come in and see why so many others have already chosen us for their chin augmentation.

Chin Implant Candidates

Chin augmentation with chin implants can enhance your appearance and accentuate your natural facial contours. If you are considering chin augmentation you should consider facial plastic surgeons with expertise in the various types of chin implants that are available.

If you are younger, you may be seeking chin augmentation to create a stronger jawline and a more squared look in order to enhance your overall facial contours. For some of you, we may recommend a change in the size or shape of the chin to enhance your profile when we do rhinoplasty.

For others of you, a chin implant may be used to reestablish facial harmony and symmetry. For you, a relatively smaller chin implant may be all you need, as a stand alone procedure or in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure like neck liposuction or a facelift, to fully rejuvenate your look and give you that svelt neck line you have always wanted. Finally, if you have a witch’s chin or other chin asymmetry there are excellent options for you as well. We look forward to seeing you and discussing the myriad of options available for you.

Chin enhancement or chin augmentation with chin implants can be a relatively simple procedure, but it still requires good judgment, skill and a good aesthetic eye. Your PROFILES Chin augmentation is a very individualized procedure.

During your complimentary personal PROFILES chin implant and augmentation consultation, we will evaluate your overall facial contours, the underlying bone structure, as well as your lip to chin ratio. Photographs will be taken so our doctors can further study your face and utilizing state of the art computer imaging systems we will show you what a PROFILES chin implant can achieve and we will discuss with you at length what you want as it will largely guide us in our chin implant surgery. Moreover, we welcome you to bring images that can help us ascertain what your goals are with surgery. We can often use the pictures that you bring in with you to guide us in our computer imaging. We also welcome you to discuss the possibilities, pros and cons of using injectable fillers for your chin augmentation. While non surgical chin augmentation with fillers can be done we always stress that it is a non- permanent solution because with time the fillers will disappear.

Whether you are a patient form Orange County, Irvine, Los Angeles, or Beverly Hills, please be sure that while preparing for your chin implant surgery, you arrange for someone to give you a ride home after your procedure as you will be able to go home the same day as your surgery.

Surgery Center

All of our outpatient procedures including chin augmentation and chin implants are performed in our brand new, state of the art, fully accredited, office-based surgical facility - the PROFILES Surgery Center.

Anesthesia for Chin Augmentation and Chin Implants

Here at PROFILES, we utilize only board certified anesthesiologists for all our surgeries. We have found that many of our patients comfortably tolerate chin implant surgery under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. While you may choose to be awake during surgery, you will be insensitive to pain and relaxed. However, the extent of your chin augmentation procedure and your preference can also help to determine the type of anesthesia used.

Your Surgery

Your chin implant surgery typically takes forty-five minutes to an hour to complete. A small incision is made inside of your mouth or occasionally on the skin beneath your chin area. Based on your pre- operative discussions with our surgeons, the proper size and shape implant is then selected and tailored as necessary to best enhance your appearance, and often a few different sizes are tried in order to best replicate the goal you are seeking to achieve.

The chin is commonly taped after surgery to keep swelling to a minimum. The swelling is minimal and unnoticeable within one week. Most of our chin augmentation patients describe feeling tight the night of surgery but rarely is pain an issue. You will be provided with pain medications should you need them both during the first night, although we find it is rarely needed.

We will call and check on you that first night after surgery, and as with all our patients we will see you in the office the day following surgery to go over the surgery and check on you. Your progress will be closely followed during the first week or two, and you will be given a list of activities and environments that should be avoided in the weeks after surgery. In order to minimize post operative discomfort we utilize self-absorbing stitches that dissolve on their own.

As with all our procedures, we schedule all of your follow-up appointments when you schedule your chin implant surgery. And we are so committed to your long term results and happiness that we will do our best to follow your postoperative course even years after your surgery.
