Orange County Chin Augmentation

A well-defined chin plays a critical role in balancing your facial proportions. Whether your goal is to enhance a weak chin, create a more sculpted jawline, or improve your profile in harmony with other features, Dr. David Kahng at Cara Plastic Surgery can help you achieve natural-looking, refined results.

What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size, projection, and contour of the chin using a custom-fit synthetic implant. It’s designed to:

Strengthen a weak or recessed chin
Improve jawline definition
Bring overall facial features into balance

Performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation in our AAAASF-accredited facility, this procedure is often paired with rhinoplasty or facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Why Consider Chin Augmentation?

Correct a Receding Chin

A smaller or recessed chin can throw off facial proportions and create the illusion of a larger nose. Chin augmentation adds structure to the lower face, enhancing the jawline and profile.

Enhance Facial Balance

An ideally positioned chin aligns vertically with the tip of the nose. A well-proportioned chin draws the eye to a more symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing profile.

Complement Facial Aging Treatments

Chin implants can refine jawline contours, especially when jowling or skin laxity is present. The procedure pairs well with facelift surgery to restore youthful facial definition.

The Chin Augmentation Procedure

During your procedure, Dr. Kahng will:

Make a small incision either inside the mouth or beneath the chin
Create a pocket over the chin bone
Insert a tailored silicone implant for optimal symmetry and definition
Close the incision with fine sutures to minimize scarring

The procedure takes about one hour and is performed on an outpatient basis at our Orange County surgical center.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery from chin augmentation is generally smooth:

Mild bruising, swelling, and tightness are normal in the first few days
Most patients return to work within 5–7 days
You’ll need to avoid strenuous activities and contact sports for 3–4 weeks
Sutures are removed or dissolve within 7–10 days, depending on the incision type

Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
