State-of-the-art chin augmentation surgery in Austin, Lakeway, and Scottsdale

Using custom-contoured chin implants, our talented surgeon at Austin Cosmetic Surgery will give you a chin that is stronger, more pronounced, and perfectly proportionate to the rest of your facial features. It is common for the procedure to be done in addition to cheek augmentation and rhinoplasty. Our chin augmentation process is among the most state-of-the-art in the nation. Traditional chin augmentation procedures involve an incision under the chin. The drawback of the traditional technique was the visible scars left on the patient. At Austin Cosmetic Surgery, we use an intra-oral (inside the mouth) incision to give you the desired result without being left with any unsightly scarring.

Step one: Meet with us about chin augmentation surgery.

As with all of our procedures, we begin by looking into your medical history and reviewing your current state of health. After we determine if you are healthy enough for chin augmentation, we use computer imaging and digital photography for a complete picture of your bone structure. We take into consideration not just your chin’s prominence, but also its symmetry. Using this information, we can choose the implant and course of action that is perfect for you.

What is the chin augmentation procedure?

After administering anesthesia, carefully placed incisions are made within your mouth. Our surgeon may correct any asymmetry in the bone if necessary. Chin implants are placed on the facial midline and held firmly in place with small titanium screws. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures that will disappear on their own.

Chin augmentation recovery

After your chin augmentation procedure, you will be given anti-inflammatory medication and antibiotic mouth rinse. Major swelling will be resolved after three days. Some lower lip numbness may be present for one to two weeks. After two weeks, the absorbable sutures will have dissolved. Initially, you will be on a liquid diet and just soft foods. It is normal to feel a tight sensation in the area. Avoid any actions that could impact the chin area as it heals and take the time you need to rest and heal.

We will see you several times after your surgery, to ensure your healing is proceeding beautifully. As the days pass and the residual swelling disappears, your new chin structure will be revealed. Our patients are thrilled with the results of our custom chin augmentation surgeries and seeing the aesthetic issues that bothered them gone forever, and a more attractive profile they can enjoy in all the years ahead.

We care, and it shows.

You can expect care rarely offered at other surgeon’s offices. We are very hands-on in post-operative care. We see most patients two to four times within the first two weeks of recovery and continue to check on them until fully healed. For Dr. Michelle it is not so much about the procedure itself, but the people she meets along the way, and the joy of seeing patients delighted with their results, and bursting with restored inner confidence.
