What is Chin Augmentation?

A weak chin is often the result of genetics, aging or facial trauma, and it can influence the aesthetic balance of your entire face. With chin augmentation by Tennessee plastic surgeon Dr. Mike Hueneke, you can improve the look of your chin and attain facial symmetry. At his Plastic Surgery Affiliates office in Nashville, he works with various patients from Brentwood, Hendersonville and nearby locations.

How is Chin Augmentation Performed?

Our chin augmentation patients in Nashville typically have the procedure on an outpatient basis in a surgery center or hospital. The entire operation takes about an hour, unless you have other procedures done at the same time.

There are a variety of options when it comes to chin augmentation. Sometimes, an injectable paste is used to create new contours. Another technique involves chin implants that are inserted over the existing bone structure. Your chin augmentation surgeon can also reshape the existing bone to augment the structure of your chin.

Most chin augmentation surgeries begin with a small incision in the natural crease under your chin or inside the mouth. Your surgeon will stretch the tissues to make room for the implant, paste or sculpting. Once the doctor is satisfied with the new contours, he will close the cut with stitches.

Am I a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?

Ideally, to have the most successful results, patients should make sure their jaws and teeth are functioning properly. Of the individuals who come into our Nashville office, the best candidates for chin augmentation are physically and mentally healthy, 18 years or older and non-smokers. If you do smoke, Dr. Hueneke will advise you to quit at least two weeks prior to surgery to ensure proper healing. Both men and women can benefit from chin augmentation.

What Kind of Post-Operative Chin Augmentation Care Can I Expect?

Common side effects from chin augmentation are mild soreness and swelling. Your chin may also feel a bit tight. For a few days following the operation, you'll be limited to light activity. Most of our chin augmentation patients in Nashville were able to return to work and regular activity within one week.

What are the Typical Results of Chin Augmentation?

The men and women who undergo chin augmentation with Dr. Hueneke enjoy a positive change in their appearance. A "stronger" chin builds up their confidence by helping them feel more attractive. You can see some of these great results by looking at various Nashville chin augmentation before and after pictures.

Each procedure is different for each patient, so pricing will heavily depend on what your individual surgery entails. Many of our patients also opt to have additional facial procedures along with chin augmentation, which can affect the cost as well.
