A well-defined chin plays a critical role in facial harmony and balance. Whether you’re looking to create a stronger jawline, improve facial symmetry, or correct a recessed chin, chin augmentation is a transformative procedure that can help you achieve a more sculpted, confident appearance. At his state-of-the-art practice serving Westchester County, Dr. Richard Swift, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers expert chin augmentation with a personalized approach and natural-looking results.
What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the chin. It is often performed using a biocompatible chin implant or through surgical advancement of the patient’s own bone. This procedure can significantly improve the contour of the lower face and neck and is often combined with rhinoplasty (nose surgery) or neck liposuction for optimal facial proportion.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation may be right for you if you:

· Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Dr. Swift also performs combination treatments, such as pairing chin implants with liposuction or facelift procedures, to further refine the jawline and neck.
The Procedure and Recovery
Chin augmentation is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume regular routines within one to two weeks. Swelling and mild bruising are common initially but usually subside within two weeks. The results are long-lasting and can significantly enhance your overall appearance and self-esteem.
