Your Chin Augmentation Consultation
After examining you and taking your medical history to begin your genioplasty Long Island or New York City consultation, Dr. Greenberg will discuss the variables that influence the decisions involved in the chin augmentation procedure, such as the length, width, and symmetry of the chin, as well as the degree of projection desired and the expected cost.

Personalizing Your Chin Augmentation
Dr. Greenberg will individualize the specific chin augmentation procedure to your desires and your exact chin deficiencies. Aesthetic genioplasty typically is performed to add size and contour to a receding chin; the extent of the procedure depends on what changes are desired and what Dr. Greenberg can accomplish with your specific anatomy.
Your Chin Augmentation Surgery
Dr. Greenberg performs chin augmentation in his office ambulatory surgery centers both on Long Island and in Manhattan. Genioplasty usually is performed under local anesthesia (which numbs the area around the chin) or under a light general anesthetic.
There are two primary methods that Dr. Greenberg can use to enhance your chin (genioplasty), these include:
- Chin implants: Chin augmentation can be performed using a chin implant. Dr. Greenberg can insert the silicone implant through a hidden incision in your mouth or a small incision under the chin.
- Chin bone repositioning: Dr. Greenberg may suggest repositioning your chin bone. For this procedure, he will move your lower jaw forward, through an incision created inside your mouth. This type of surgery requires a longer recovery but can be a good option if you have a severely sloping chin or a congenital defect.
Chin Augmentation Recovery
After your chin augmentation surgery, Dr. Greenberg will apply a protective dressing to cover the chin area. You will be swollen and may experience slight discomfort and/or numbness in the area for up to two months. Medication may be prescribed to make you more comfortable.
Most patients can return to work within seven days after the chin augmentation surgery and can resume most normal activities in about two weeks. Patients can start exercising a month after the surgery.

Neck Lift
Mole removal and excision of benign or malignant skin lesions is a very common procedure in the United States. Dr. Greenberg performs these procedures every week using only the latest technology. He will ensure that moles or skin lesions are benign by having them checked by a biopsy, when necessary.
Rhinoplasty
Dr. Greenberg performs this procedure on many teens and adults every week. Rhinoplasty can now be performed to look natural, without the “operated on” appearance to the nose.
Facelift
Face lifts are performed on patients as they age to restore a youthful look. In general, a face lift will lift your sagging cheeks, help to eliminate jowls, and remove the redundant skin and fat from the neck.
