Chin Implants Overview

Improved Chin Appearance

Most people seeking to enlarge or reshape their chin opt for a flexible silicone implant. The procedure can help define and balance your chin, jawline, and profile. It's a relatively low-risk cosmetic procedure with subtle and naturally beautiful results. Additionally, chin implants can be paired with a neck lift or other methods, like a lip lift.

Dr. Meade's expressed goal is to ensure his results look as natural as possible. If you were born with an undersized or small chin or feel that your facial features feel out of proportion, a chin implant could help you gain more confidence about your appearance.

Some of the things he might ask of you are:

  • To adjust or cease the use of medications and dietary supplements.
  • To refrain from smoking, consumption of alcohol, and drug use.
  • Ensure you are hydrated, especially in the days just before surgery.

The Chin Implant Procedure

The chin implant procedure is relatively quick. An incision is made inside the mouth or outside, just under the chin. A small pocket is made in front of the chin bone and just under the muscle tissue in which the implant is placed. Usually, the insert is made of silicone, but other options are available.

What are the Recovery and Results from Chin Implants?

Since the procedure is relatively short—usually under an hour, healing should be rapid and not as painful as one might imagine.

Because you may have some initial swelling, you might not see the final appearance of your chin and jaw for 3 to 4 months as the results settle into place. After this, most implants will last for a lifetime.

Are chin implants noticeable to the touch or visually?

Chin implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural bone structure. Once healed, they are typically not noticeable to the touch or visible to others—except in the form of a more balanced, enhanced profile.

Can chin implants help with a double chin or weak jawline?

Yes, chin implants can improve the contour of your neck and jawline. In some cases, they reduce the appearance of a double chin by providing more definition to the lower face. For even more noticeable results, they can be paired with neck liposuction or a neck lift.

Is there an age limit for chin implant surgery?

There is no strict age limit, but candidates should have fully developed facial bones. This generally means waiting until late adolescence. Older adults can also benefit, especially if they are seeking a more youthful or defined profile.

Are chin implants permanent or will they need to be replaced?

Chin implants are considered a long-term solution. They are made from durable materials like silicone and, in most cases, do not need to be replaced unless complications arise or aesthetic preferences change.

Can chin implants be combined with other facial procedures?

Absolutely. Many patients combine chin implants with procedures like rhinoplasty, facelifts, or cheek augmentation to achieve facial harmony and more comprehensive results.

Will I need to stay overnight after the procedure?

Chin implant surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients can return home the same day, although you’ll need someone to drive you and stay with you for the first 24 hours.

How soon can I return to work or normal activities?

Many patients return to work within 5 to 7 days, depending on the nature of their job. Strenuous activities or exercise should be avoided for at least 2–3 weeks to promote optimal healing.

What are the risks associated with chin implant surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, implant shifting, or reaction to anesthesia. However, when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Meade, these risks are significantly minimized.

Will I have a scar after chin implant surgery?

The incision can be made either inside the mouth (leaving no visible scar) or under the chin (where it typically heals discreetly). The method is chosen based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for chin implants?

Ideal candidates are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and are bothered by a recessed chin or lack of jawline definition. A consultation with Dr. Meade will determine the best approach for your facial structure.
