Manhattan chin augmentation
Bring balance & harmony to your face
If you’re self-conscious about the overall appearance of your face, a chin augmentation surgery with Dr. Michael Bassiri-Tehrani can help enhance and define your facial features and bring symmetry and balance to your look.
What is chin augmentation?
The position of the chin is often overlooked, but it can dramatically affect the harmony of the face. Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to reshape your chin by either augmentation with an implant, filler material, or your own body’s fatty tissue.
This procedure is often used to increase the projection of the chin away from the face. Chin implant surgery, or mentoplasty, and chin augmentation are done alone — either non-surgically with dermal fillers or surgically with an implant — or in combination with other facial procedures to help provide a harmonious balance to your facial features and dramatically improve your facial profile and projection.
Careful placement of filler can give a sharper appearance along the mandible. Botox injections into the masseter can narrow and soften a stronger more square jawline. Botox and Filler injections or implants to the chin can increase projection and elongate the jawline.
It’s important to take a chin augmentation into consideration during a rhinoplasty or facelift consultation because it can improve the contour of the face and jowl as well as give the illusion of a smaller nose, improving the outcome of a rhinoplasty.
Full jaw enhancement
with submental liposuction
Dr. Michael Bassiri-Tehrani can also combine a chin augmentation with a submental liposuction to enhance your jawline.
After he’s placed your implant or administered your Botox or fillers injection, our double board-certified surgeon can use a submental liposuction to remove the excess fat under your neck to sharpen the cervical angle — that is, the angle between your chin and neck, also referred to as the chin-throat angle.
How chin augmentation works at Michael Bassiri-Tehrani, MD, PLLC
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the definition and shape of your chin to improve facial balance and symmetry.
We offer both surgical and non-surgical chin augmentation options:
Surgical chin augmentation
This surgical procedure involves the use of implants to enhance the shape and size of your chin. Surgical chin augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, and recovery time may vary depending on the extent of the procedure.
Non-surgical chin augmentation
This type of chin-augmentation uses dermal fillers to add volume and definition to your chin. The procedure is similar to non-surgical cheek augmentation and can be performed in-office with little-to-no downtime.
