Profile with stronger chin projection after chin implant in Austin

What Chin Implants Can Improve

  • Small or recessed chin that weakens jawline definition
  • Facial imbalance that makes the nose appear larger
  • Appearance of a “double chin” due to limited projection

Approaches We May Discuss

  • Silicone implant placed via a small incision (often inside the mouth)
  • Adjunct liposuction under the chin/neck for cleaner contour
  • Non-surgical trial with fillers to preview added projection

Best Candidates

  • Healthy adults with realistic expectations
  • Desire a more defined profile and balanced features
  • Open to combining procedures (e.g., rhinoplasty) for optimal harmony

Why Choose Elysian

  • Board-certified expertise and patient-first care
  • Thorough consultation assessing the whole face, not just the chin
  • Clear guidance on surgical vs. non-surgical options

What to Expect

Consultation
Exam of facial structure and discussion of implant size/shape; photos and planning for balanced proportions.
Procedure
Outpatient ~30–60 minutes under general or local with sedation. Small incision (often intraoral) to create a precise pocket for the implant.
Support
Bandages or tape may be applied to protect and position the implant during early healing.
Recovery
Plan ~1 week of downtime; swelling/bruising are common. Sleep on your back with head elevated; soft/liquid diet for a few days.

Chin Implant FAQs

How much does chin implant surgery cost?

National figures often cite around $3,000 for the surgical fee (excludes anesthesia and facility). Your quote varies by technique and any combined procedures. Financing options are available.

What are chin implants made from?

Flexible, biocompatible silicone designed to feel similar to natural bone once healed. Sizes and shapes are selected to fit your anatomy and goals.

Will there be a scar?

A small incision is commonly placed inside the mouth (sometimes under the chin), keeping scars discreet.

Are chin implants permanent?

Solid silicone implants are designed for long-term placement and typically don’t require replacement.

Will the implant move?

Shifts are uncommon after healing. Following post-op instructions—avoiding pressure/manipulation—helps minimize risk.

When will I see final results?

Improvement is immediate, with refinement as swelling resolves over 1–3 months.
