Chin augmentation in Whitefish, Montana

Plastic Surgery

Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation refines the shape and position of the chin using either a chin implant or genioplasty (bone reshaping) — a long-lasting solution for a weak or recessed chin that restores balance to your profile.

What to Expect

Your Surgery, Step by Step

01

Consultation

Dr. Nargi discusses your goals, evaluates your facial structure, and identifies the best approach — implants or genioplasty.

02

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia with oral sedation, or intravenous sedation, is used depending on the procedure to ensure your comfort.

03

Precise Incisions

A small incision is made inside the mouth or beneath the chin, designed to minimize visible scarring.

04

Implant or Bone Adjustment

A custom-fitted implant is positioned over the chin bone, or the bone is repositioned to achieve the desired projection and contour.

Incisions are closed with fine sutures. Most patients resume usual activities within 1–2 weeks, with full results visible in 4–6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does chin augmentation last?

Chin implants offer permanent results, maintaining their shape and structure over time. Genioplasty also provides lifelong enhancement, as it involves repositioning the natural bone.

Will there be visible scarring?

Incisions are usually made inside the mouth or under the chin, leaving minimal visible scarring. Any external scars are small and strategically placed, fading and blending naturally over time.

Is chin augmentation painful?

Most patients experience mild discomfort after surgery, managed with pain medication and cold compresses. Swelling and tenderness typically subside within the first week or two.

Can it be combined with other procedures?

Yes, chin augmentation is often paired with rhinoplasty or neck liposuction to enhance facial balance, creating more defined, harmonious contours with a single recovery period.
