Achieve a Balanced, Defined Facial Profile with Chin Implants

Feeling self-conscious about your chin, or the lack of it can significantly affect your self-esteem and daily life. Not wanting to appear in photos or feeling uncomfortable each time you look in the mirror can create a constant awareness of your facial asymmetry, overshadowing your natural beauty.

Double-board-certified Dr. Bader understands the emotional journey that comes with these feelings. Through his compassionate approach and expertise in chin augmentation, he is dedicated to helping you achieve a balanced and harmonious profile that allows you to embrace life with renewed confidence.

Chin Augmentation Surgery

Chin augmentation surgery is often one of the most overlooked cosmetic surgery procedures. Yet, it can yield dramatically effective results when either used alone or alongside complementary procedures such as rhinoplasty and facelift.

Dr. Bader uses silicon implants which are inserted into the jawline using discrete incisions to add volume and bring balance to areas of the lower face that lack structural support. In less severe cases, a temporary, non-surgical option involving dermal fillers may be offered by Dr. Bader.

Chin Augmentation Surgery Treats

Chin implants are used by Dr. Bader for a variety of medical and aesthetic purposes. Yet, the principal goal of chin augmentation is to enhance overall facial symmetry and proportion, restoring your confidence in your appearance.

Weak Chin

A weak chin can not only make you feel insecure about your frontal and side facial profile but it can also create the illusion of an enlarged nose. A chin implant enhances the projection and prominence of a weak or recessed chin, creating a stronger, more defined jawline and improving facial balance.

Double Chin

By improving the chin's projection, chin augmentation can help reduce the appearance of a double chin and enhance the definition of the neck and jawline, especially when combined with neck liposuction.

Jawline Definition

Instead of focusing solely on the chin, Dr. Bader prefers to think of this procedure as a jawline implant. Instead of using old-fashioned 'button' implants, his longer implants are placed firmly under the chin and encapsulated with the surrounding collagen tissues creating a stronger, more prominent jawline that stands the test of time.

Improved Facial Profile

For those who feel their chin is disproportionate to their nose, chin augmentation can balance the facial profile, especially when performed alongside rhinoplasty, leading to a more harmonious side profile.

Types of Surgical Chin Augmentation

Male and female facial anatomy requires distinct approaches to ensure that the results align with traditional concepts of beauty and aesthetics. Dr. Bader takes these gender-specific characteristics into account when designing a personalized chin augmentation plan so that the final results reflect your identity and aesthetic aspirations.

Male Chin Augmentation

If you are male, enhancing the strength and definition of the jawline will help to create a more masculine appearance. Male facial anatomy often features a broader, more angular jawline which Dr. Bader can skillfully recreate using advanced surgical techniques. He will carefully select the correct implant size and shape to create a chiseled jawline for a more masculine facial structure and profile.

Female Chin Augmentation

Females opt for a softer, more refined chin during their chin augmentation journey, enhancing their feminine features. In women, the ideal chin shape often features gentle curves and a slightly narrower appearance to harmonize with the delicate contours of the cheeks and jawline. Dr. Bader carefully considers these anatomical differences to ensure that the results enhance your natural beauty.

What to Expect From Plano and Dallas Chin Augmentation

Safety and skillful incisions allow Dr. Bader to carefully enhance your lower face while avoiding risks. The result? A harmonious facial profile, with barely there scars, that boosts your confidence and makes you feel beautiful.

Custom Implant Options

Dr. Bader knows that when it comes to facial plastic surgery, there is no such thing as a cookie-cutter approach. With exceptional results being the focus, Dr. Bader offers a variety of implant sizes and shapes, or even custom-made implants. This adapts the procedure to your unique facial proportions, and not the other way around, ensuring a personalized, natural result.

Holistic Outlook

While your chin may be where your focus lies, Dr. Bader takes a holistic approach to your surgery to create harmonious facial proportions. The chin must enhance the overall facial structure without looking artificial and in some cases to get the desired result, other surgical interventions on surrounding facial features may be necessary. Dr. Bader's aesthetic eye allows him to deliver results that complement your facial profile.

Extensive Expertise

Many patients may feel inclined to select a chin augmentation surgeon based on price, but Dr. Bader encourages prioritizing expertise and achieving exceptional results. As a fellowship-trained, dual-board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Bader has earned international recognition for his research, including prestigious honors like the Merle Lawrence Research Award and the Rontal Family Research Award. His dedication to excellence ensures the highest level of care and long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Chin Augmentation in Plano at Bader Facial Plastics

Dr. Bader's streamlined procedure process allows both local patients and those traveling from afar to fully prepare for their big day. This is a brief run-through of what you can expect during chin implant surgery at Bader Facial Plastics.

Chin Implants Consultation

During the initial consultation at the Plano office, Dr. Bader will evaluate your facial structure, review your aesthetic goals, and determine the most appropriate type and size of implant, or if a bone advancement technique is needed. He will also review your medical history and the size of the chin to create a personal plan. If you're an out-of-town patient, the initial consultation can often be done virtually to accommodate your schedule.

Pre-Surgery Preparation

Before your surgery, blood work and pre-surgery tests may be requested by Dr. Bader. It is also recommended to stop smoking, and drinking alcohol and stop taking certain medicines 2 weeks before your planned procedure.

Out-of-Town Patient Arrival

Allow 1-2 days before your chin surgery to arrive in Plano and settle in before the big day.

Day Before Surgery

Dr. Bader invites you to a last-minute appointment to help you feel at ease with your chin augmentation procedure.

Day of Surgery

Dr. Bader creates an inconspicuous, small incision either inside the mouth (intraoral) or beneath the chin (submental). Through this incision, a customized implant is inserted over the chin bone. The implant is made of medical-grade materials, such as silicone, which are both safe and designed to integrate naturally with the surrounding tissue. This can be modified to enhance contouring if your goal is to improve your facial symmetry. The implant site is then fully irrigated and closes in a layered manner before dressings are applied for support along with cool compresses for swelling. It is essential that someone drives you home after this procedure.

Post-Surgery Follow-Up

The morning after your chin surgery, Dr. Bader will check on the incision to ensure that it is healing correctly Any dressings are also removed at this point. Attending all of your follow-up appointments is essential for Dr. Bader to monitor your healing and recovery.

Travel Post Surgery

Dr. Bader requests patients not to fly for at least 1 week post-surgery to avoid any possible complications during the recovery process.

Social Readiness

If all goes to plan, you will be able to return to your normal daily activities within 2 weeks after the procedure. Of course, recuperation is personal, and Dr. Bader will guide you based on your results post-chin augmentation surgery.

Dr. Bader's Surgical Chin Enhancement Reviews

Read All Reviews

So pleased with my revision. I spent 2 years observing the results and researching doctors across the US and Europe, and chose him. My advice: Choose a doctor that always shows each angle of his finished noses. Don't choose doctors that show anything less! Pay attention to lighting in the photos too. Choose a doctor who specializes in noses. They are intricate and important not only to your aesthetics but also your breathing. Don't compromise your beauty or your breathing with a good doctor. Save / wait for a great doctor. Dr. Bader and his staff exceeded every expectation. My surgery and aftercare were professional and seamless. I would recommend him to anyone who is having a primary or revision. It was the best decision I've ever made.

Sabrina Lara

Went yesterday for a revision rhinoplasty consultation. Excellent experience! The staff was all very friendly & helpful. Amanda has been a joy to work with during the entire process. I researched several doctors over the past maybe 6-8 months before scheduling my consultation with Dr. Bader. Very excited to have a revision done in the future by him!

Dr. Bader changed my life!! For the better! I was so insecure and sad with my previous results with a Dr in Mexico(crooked, upturned, ect). I honestly didn't think anyone could make it better until i found him. At consultation he explained how he could improve it and was very honest about it, and his staff was very friendly and they made you feel comfortable. I always feel like Drs rush and dont hear you out completely, but it was different here. I made sure to explain all my questions and concerns so many times and they heard me out, explained the whole process and made me feel like i was in the best hands! My results are exactly what i wanted!

Ideal Candidate for Chin Implants

If you are a Plano or Dallas local, Dr. Bader would love to talk about your chin augmentation surgery during a private consultation. While Dr. Bader treats a diverse range of patients, a good candidate for this surgical procedure typically is looking to balance facial features and combat signs of aging. Ideal candidates for chin augmentation should have a normal bite without the need for orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery; for those who have already had braces, a chin implant can provide an excellent solution for further profile enhancement.

Chin Augmentation Risks and Side Effects

Like any cosmetic procedure, chin augmentation comes with certain risks and potential complications, including:

Scarring
Infection
Asymmetry
Changes in sensation

In rare cases, patients may also encounter:

Irregularities in chin shape
Dissatisfaction with the final aesthetic outcome
The need for revision surgery

Chin Augmentation Recovery and Results

Post-operative care is crucial for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the days following surgery, but these symptoms typically subside within 7 to 10 days. Thanks to Dr. Bader's comprehensive and customized aftercare plan and follow-up appointments you won't feel alone throughout the healing process. For out-of-town patients, virtual check-ins can be arranged to ensure a convenient recovery process.

Most patients can return to light activities within 1 week and resume full, strenuous activities after 4 to 6 weeks. The final results of chin augmentation become fully visible once all swelling has subsided, typically around 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery.
