Chin Implant Surgery
What Is Chin Implant Surgery?
Chin implant surgery, also known as chin augmentation or genioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size, projection, and contour of the chin using a custom-fitted biocompatible implant. It’s an ideal solution for people with:
- A receding or “weak” chin
- Facial imbalance between the nose, chin, and lips
- Asymmetrical or underdeveloped chin
- Desire for a more defined jawline
- Poor neck or lower face definition
A chin implant brings balance, confidence, and refinement to your facial profile—all with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.

FAQs
Will a chin implant look natural?
Yes. Dr. Athreya chooses the shape and size based on your existing bone structure. The result is a naturally enhanced appearance—not a “done” look.
Can I feel the implant after surgery?
Initially, there may be slight awareness of the implant, but over time it feels like a natural part of your anatomy.
Is the implant permanent?
Yes. Most implants last a lifetime unless removed or replaced for personal reasons.
Are there visible scars?
When placed through the mouth, there are no visible scars. If placed through a small external incision under the chin, the scar is minimal and fades over time.
Can chin implant be combined with other procedures?
Absolutely. Chin augmentation is often combined with rhinoplasty (nose job), jawline contouring, or neck lift for balanced facial enhancement.
