What Are Chin Implants?

Chin implants are a popular cosmetic procedure used to enhance the projection and shape of the chin, improving the overall facial profile. A recessed or underdeveloped chin can disrupt facial harmony, making other features, such as the nose or jawline, seem disproportionate. By adding definition to the chin, facial implants create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Leong Facial Plastic Surgery offers fully customized chin implants tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our approach is designed to provide subtle yet significant improvements that complement your natural beauty without appearing overdone or artificial.

Ideal Candidates for Chin Implants in NYC

Chin implants are an excellent option for both men and women who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their chin due to:

  • A recessed or “weak” chin
  • Lack of chin projection or definition
  • Imbalance between the chin and other facial features
  • A desire for a more defined jawline

During your consultation for chin implants at our NYC office, Dr. Leong will assess your facial structure and discuss your goals to determine whether chin implants are the right choice for you. Our goal is to ensure that your results enhance your natural features while maintaining a balanced, harmonious appearance.

The Chin Implant Procedure

On the day of your chin implant surgery at our surgical center, you will be made comfortable with either local or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and treatment plan. Dr. Leong will make a small incision inside the mouth or just beneath the chin, ensuring minimal visible scarring. Through this incision, the custom-designed implant is carefully placed and positioned to enhance the chin's projection and definition. The entire procedure typically takes around one hour and is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you will be able to return home the same day. For some patients, chin implant surgery is combined with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty or facelift, to further enhance overall facial harmony and achieve a more comprehensive aesthetic result.

Recovery After Chin Implant Surgery

After your chin implant surgery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort, which is completely normal. These symptoms typically subside within one to two weeks. While you'll notice an improvement in your chin's appearance right after surgery, the final results will become fully apparent as the swelling decreases.

Dr. Leong will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process, and you will have follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and progress. Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities within a week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks.
