Enhance chin projection and improve facial harmony
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape, size, and projection of the chin, improving facial balance and symmetry. It addresses concerns like a weak or recessed chin, creating a more defined jawline and harmonious profile. The procedure typically involves placing a biocompatible implant or, in some cases, contouring the existing bone structure. A chin augmentation can even be done with other facial procedures such as rhinoplasty and facial fat transfer. Dr. Nadimi carefully customizes each treatment to complement the patient’s unique anatomy and achieve a balanced, natural-looking appearance.
Chin augmentation treats:
- Receding or underdeveloped chin
- Lack of jawline definition
- Facial profile imbalance
- Disproportion between chin and other facial features
- Weak chin structure affecting the overall appearance
Chin implant surgery
Chin implant surgery involves the placement of a biocompatible implant to enhance the size, shape, or projection of the chin. Dr. Nadimi creates a small incision either inside the mouth or under the chin to insert the implant, which is typically made of silicone or other safe materials.
The implant is carefully positioned to blend seamlessly with the patient’s natural contours, creating a balanced profile. This method is effective for individuals with a weak or recessed chin who desire subtle to moderate improvements in chin projection.

Chin augmentation FAQs
Am I a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for chin augmentation if you feel your chin is recessed, underdeveloped, or out of balance with the rest of your face. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and seek to enhance their appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Nadimi will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most suitable approach to achieve your goals.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Chicago chin augmentation typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Dr. Nadimi performs these surgeries with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring optimal results and minimal downtime.
What Type of Anesthesia is Used During Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the specifics of your procedure and your comfort level.
What is the Recovery Process Like After Chin Augmentation?
For chin implant surgery, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 3-4 weeks.
Will There Be Visible Scars After Chin Augmentation?
Dr. Nadimi uses specialized techniques to minimize scarring. For chin implants, incisions are made inside the mouth or under the chin, resulting in scars that are well-hidden or virtually invisible.
How Soon Will I See the Results of My Chin Augmentation?
The results of chin augmentation are visible immediately after surgery, although swelling may temporarily obscure the final outcome. As the swelling subsides over the following weeks, the improved contour of your chin becomes more apparent. The full results are typically visible within 3-6 months as the area completely heals.
How Long Do the Results of Chin Augmentation Last?
Chin augmentation results are long-lasting. Implants are made from durable, biocompatible materials that maintain shape and position over time. While aging may subtly change your facial appearance over time, the enhanced chin contour typically remains consistent.
