Chin implant surgery, or “genioplasty,” is one of the most straightforward means to achieve a completely balanced facial appearance. Although it may seem like such a small change to the facial structure, a chin implant can enhance jawbone definition, lengthen the face, and make a large nose or forehead appear proportionate to the rest of the face. Some of the most beautiful celebrities like Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, and Keira Knightley have a defined jawline and balanced features thanks to their strong chin. For men, a chin implant can make all the difference in restoring an overall stronger-looking, more masculine facial appearance.

While chin implant surgery is a relatively simple procedure, the size of implant and surgical approach varies for both men and women – and for all patients – as Dr. Wise customizes the procedure to complement every unique face. With Dr. Wise’s specialized technique, pain and swelling are minimal, and the recovery time is usually no longer than a week. Results are permanent and seen immediately. Dr. Wise will schedule follow-up appointments with you to ensure the entire healing process goes smoothly and that you are satisfied with your result.

Chin implant surgery is often performed along with other procedures, such as a facelift or rhinoplasty, to optimize facial feature balance. Lip implants can also create symmetry in the lower face by adding volume to the lips. Unlike injectable lip augmentation, lip implants with PermaLip™ will last a lifetime.
