Chin Surgery

Genioplasty

Are You a Candidate?

A less-than-prominent chin can make your nose and other features seem imbalanced and create a weak profile, making your neck appear fleshy. Placing an implant in the chin creates more balanced features for improved aesthetics, making it a popular male cosmetic surgery.

You may benefit from this procedure if you have a:

  • Weak jawline
  • Receding chin
  • Large nose
  • Fleshy neck or double chin

Candidates for chin augmentation should also be in good overall health and have reasonable expectations for what cosmetic surgery can accomplish.

Benefits of a Chin Implant

Placing an implant is a relatively minor procedure that can create a big impact on your appearance.

Our patients can enjoy:

  • Stronger, more contoured jawline
  • Balanced facial features
  • Refined and masculine profile
  • Lasting, natural-looking results

The Chin Implant Procedure

Dr. Greenberg will first perform a thorough evaluation during an initial consultation to ensure you are a good candidate for this procedure. He will also discuss the procedure and address any concerns you may have. To achieve a natural look, Dr. Greenberg will match the size and type of implant to your facial structure. Facial implants can also be customized to achieve the best result.

The surgery itself takes only about 30 minutes. Once you have received the appropriate anesthesia, Dr. Greenberg will make an incision below the chin or inside the mouth below the lower lip. Dr. Greenberg will then insert the implant through the incision, carefully positioning it for proper balance. Once he is satisfied with the placement, he will securely suture the implant in place, close the incision, and apply a dressing.

What To Expect During Recovery

You should expect to experience swelling and bruising in your face and neck that should dissipate within a couple of weeks. If the surgery was done through your mouth, you may also have some drainage from your mouth during the first couple of days.
Any discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications and icing the area according to the doctor’s directions. In order to achieve a smooth recovery without any complications, it’s imperative to follow your post-surgical instructions carefully.

For internal incisions made inside the mouth, sutures will dissolve in about seven days and leave no visible scarring. Sutures below the chin will be removed at a later follow-up appointment in about 10 days. Because of Dr. Greenberg’s expertise, scarring will be minimal. Once swelling and bruising have decreased, you can begin to see your final results.

Having your procedure performed by a board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Greenberg, will significantly reduce your chances of complications.

Reviews

“Dr. Greenberg was amazing! I have a chin implant and lipo and I love my results! Life changing and made my confidence go up so much! Definitely reconnect.”

“My experience with Dr. Greenberg was very positive. I am 50 yrs old and in great shape. However, people always told me I looked sad or tired, so I decided to get the saggy skin on my upper eyelids removed. My results are better than I could have imagined. I look like myself, but younger and more well rested. I do not look “done” at all!! I also had a chin implant, as I had a very “soft” and receding chin. The results are perfect. It gives my jaw line a more sculpted and defined look. Nobody would EVER know I had these procedures done. I still look like me, but a better version. Last but not least I had a breast lift with a small implant. I didn’t want to be larger than a B cup and he gave me perfect, in scale with my petite frame, breasts that look like I am a teenager. I am so happy with them that I have been out buying V necks like mad!! Haha I highly recommend Dr. Greenberg! All of these procedures were done at the same time and I was going out to dinner (with large sunglasses) 2 days after surgery. It has been one month and I am back to yoga and the gym like nothing happened. He is not the hand holding type Dr., but who cares when you get such fabulous results. He is a pro. Do your research and tell him what you want and you will be very happy!”
