How Chin Implants Define Your Jawline

A well-shaped jawline has a powerful influence on facial harmony. When the chin lacks adequate projection, even strong features like the nose and eyes can appear less defined, and the neck may look softer or heavier than desired.

At Ahn Point Center, we use chin implants that have been sized for the individual patient by Dr. Ahn,  to create subtle, yet powerful, natural enhancement that refines the lower face while preserving your authentic appearance. With a focused approach to facial aesthetics and meticulous surgical technique, Dr. Ahn helps patients achieve beautiful balance and renewed confidence through thoughtful chin augmentation.

How a Chin Implant Shapes Your Profile

A chin implant is composed of biocompatible silicone and is designed to add proper projection to the lower jaw. During the procedure, the implant is carefully placed directly against the jawbone in a tight pocket. This augmentation creates better facial balance and a cleaner, more defined profile from every angle. Crucially, the incision is discreetly hidden beneath the chin, and once healed, the implant becomes part of your natural anatomy to deliver stable and lasting results.

Who Benefits Most from Chin Implants?

Chin implants are often the ideal solution for people who present with a naturally receding, or "weak," chin or who have a softer, less defined lower face. The primary goal of the implant is to help restore aesthetic balance between facial features, ensuring the nose, lips, and chin are properly proportioned, which enhances both the front-facing and side profile. Many patients also choose to combine chin augmentation with other procedures, usually rhinoplasty (to balance the nose and chin) or neck contouring (to further refine the jawline silhouette), achieving a more complete and harmonious facial result.

What You Can Expect: Procedure and Recovery

Surgery for chin augmentation is performed using intravenous sedation (twilight anesthesia) in our private and accredited surgical suite. This method offers significant benefits, including a safer and quicker recovery compared to general anesthesia.

Following the surgery, you should expect mild swelling, some soreness, and the chin area may feel slightly tight. Patients are typically comfortable returning to work and social settings within 8 to 10 days. Sutures are removed 7 days post-operation, and while early results are visible in 10 to 14 days as initial swelling subsides, continued improvement occurs over the following months.
