Chin Augmentation

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty/genioplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times Dr. Tehrani may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.

The procedure involves an incision made either inside the lower lip or externally, in the skin under your chin. The skin is lifted off the chinbone to make a pocket large enough for a carefully styled implant. Dr. Tehrani will then place the implant in the pocket and stitch it into place.
