Chin Augmentation Jacksonville

Chin augmentation surgery can create a beautifully defined profile for patients with a smaller chin, receding chin, or lack of youthful definition at the jawline. The enhancement involves placing a chin implant to create a more attractive facial balance, with subtle but dramatic results.

Restore Facial Balance with Chin Augmentation

Your chin contributes to overall facial balance and is a major factor in your profile. A receding chin results from underdevelopment of the lower jaw or face. This condition can create the illusion of a prominent nose as well as a less attractive neck contour. Therefore, chin augmentation surgery is frequently combined with nose reshaping procedures (rhinoplasty) or a neck lift. The placement of a chin implant can restore harmony and proportion to all of the facial elements.

How is chin augmentation performed?

At Florida Plastic Surgery Group, chin augmentation can be performed by placing an implant or by moving the bone forward. If your dental occlusion is normal and you have a receding chin, you may be a candidate for chin augmentation with an implant.

The MEDPOR® implant

The MEDPOR® implant (see below) is most used for chin and mandibular augmentation. The porous structure of the implant allows it to be incorporated into your own tissue without being susceptible to the rejection and capsule formation seen with silicone implants. By securing the chin implant directly to the bone, the implant will add volume to your existing chin. The implants come in several different sizes, allowing our doctors to choose a custom implant that matches your existing bone structure.

Augmentation procedure with a MEDPOR® implant

Chin augmentation with a MEDPOR® implant is performed through either an incision inside the mouth or under the chin. A space directly on the bone is created, and the implant is secured directly to the bone. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and can be performed either under local or general anesthesia.

Everyone here is amazing! Dr. Desai is not only a skilled surgeon, but he is also very caring and sensitive. Every time I see him, he takes his time to explain things and makes sure that all of my questions are answered. Before my last surgery, he pulled up a chair and walked through the whole procedure in great detail. When it came time for me to ask questions, I looked at my list, and he had already answered 80% of them! Amazing! Alana is also wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and supportive! I'm always certain that I am in good hands with the Doctors and PAs, and staff!
