What is Chin Implant Surgery?

Chin implant surgery (mentoplasty) permanently enhances facial harmony by adding projection and definition to a weak or receding chin using silicone, Medpor, or custom 3D-printed implants—dramatically improving your profile without complex jaw surgery.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Chin implant is often combined with rhinoplasty for comprehensive facial balancing—the "profiloplasty" package. Combined pricing is typically less than having both procedures separately.

⚠️ Insider Note: Consider your facial proportions carefully. A chin implant that's too large can look unnatural. Expert surgeons recommend sizing that complements your nose and overall face shape—subtle is often better.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do chin implants last?

Silicone chin implants are permanent and typically last a lifetime unless you choose to have them removed or replaced. No maintenance needed.

Is chin implant surgery painful?

Mild to moderate discomfort is expected for the first few days, rated 3-4/10. Pain medication controls discomfort well.

Will the implant feel natural?

Yes, once fully healed (2-3 months) the implant feels like your natural chin. Others cannot tell you have an implant.

Can chin implants be removed?

Yes, silicone implants can be removed if desired. Medpor implants are more difficult to remove due to tissue integration.

What's the difference between chin implant and filler?

Implants are permanent with more projection possible. Filler lasts 12-18 months and is reversible. Consider trying filler first if unsure about surgery.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions inside the mouth leave no visible scars. Under-chin incisions heal to a thin, hidden line in the natural crease.

Can I combine chin implant with other procedures?

Yes, commonly combined with rhinoplasty (profiloplasty), neck lift, or liposuction under the chin for comprehensive facial balancing.

How do I choose the right implant size?

Your surgeon analyzes your facial proportions and may use 3D imaging software to help you visualize different sizes before committing.
