Chin augmentation adds proportion to the chin and provides a balance between the chin and other facial features. A weak or underdeveloped chin makes the neck appear fleshy and the face withdrawn. It exaggerates the appearance of the nose, making the nose and forehead look disproportionately large.

Add definition, volume, and masculine proportion to the chin for a stronger jawline and a more balanced profile. Double board-certified care with recovery in roughly one week.
Overview
What Is a Chin Implant for Men?
A chin implant, also called chin augmentation surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that adds definition, volume, and proportion to an underdeveloped chin using implants inserted inside the chin. Chin implants increase the size and define the shape of the chin, resulting in a more balanced facial structure.
For men seeking a stronger jawline and a more masculine profile, chin augmentation is one of the most direct ways to bring the lower third of the face forward.

Why a Chin Implant
Benefits of a Chin Implant
Is a Chin Implant Right for Me?
A chin implant may be right for you if you feel like your chin is not defined enough. This technique is used to build a better facial silhouette and can help make your jawline appear stronger.
Balanced Profile
A weak or underdeveloped chin makes the neck appear fleshy and the face withdrawn. A chin implant brings the lower face forward into proportion with the brow and midface.
Stronger Jawline
Adding volume to the chin extends the visual line of the jaw, sharpening the silhouette in profile and softening the appearance of a double chin.
Right-Sized Nose
An underdeveloped chin exaggerates the appearance of the nose. Augmenting the chin restores harmony so the nose and forehead no longer look disproportionately large.
The Procedure
How Involved Is the Chin Implant Procedure?
Chin augmentation can often be performed under local anesthesia, though more complex placements may use general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes about one hour from start to finish.
A small incision is created under the jawline. A silicone implant, shaped beforehand to achieve the desired effect, is inserted under the soft tissues of the chin and seated against the bone. The incision is then closed with sutures, leaving the access point hidden along the natural shadow of the jaw.

Recovery
How Long Is the Recovery After Chin Augmentation?
Three Phases
01
The First Week
Most patients take about a week of downtime. Tenderness, mild bruising, and redness around the chin are common. We ask patients to keep the head elevated, even while sleeping, and eat soft foods.
02
Weeks Two to Six
Strenuous exercise and extensive facial movement are avoided for several additional weeks. A button-down shirt protects the chin area from being bumped while you dress.
03
The Long View
Some results are visible immediately, but swelling can obscure the final shape for up to a month. As the swelling resolves, the new contour settles into place.

Pricing
How Much Does Chin Augmentation Cost?
The cost of chin augmentation depends on surgical specifics, such as the type and size of chin implants and the extent of the surgical reshaping of the natural tissues required when inserting the implant. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, and PatientFi.
If you live in Fort Lauderdale or Broward County and are looking to bring balance to your facial silhouette and enhance the contour of your chin, a chin implant may be right for you.
