What to Expect During Your Chin Augmentation Surgery
Consultation
Dr. Sarah Nargi will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial structure, and identify the best approach for your chin augmentation, whether through implants or genioplasty.
Anesthesia
Depending on the procedure, local anesthesia with oral sedation or intravenous (IV) sedation will be used to ensure comfort during surgery.
Precise Incisions
A small incision is made either inside the mouth or beneath the chin. Both techniques are designed to minimize visible scarring.
Implant Placement or Bone Adjustment
For implants, a custom-fitted silicone implant is carefully positioned over the chin bone. For genioplasty, the bone is repositioned to achieve the desired projection and contour.
Sutures & Recovery
The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided to support healing. Most patients resume their usual activities within one to two weeks, with full results becoming visible as swelling subsides over four to six weeks.
