A short chin, so called microgenia, may be present from birth. Some individuals experience recession of the forward prominence of the chin with aging, however. In addition, it is also common for soft tissue and/or bony volume loss to occur in the pre-jowl areas. This pre-jowl volume deficit may be accentuated by increasing fullness of the jowl and marionette fold.
How Much Does a Chin Implant in Sarasota Cost?
At HK Plastic Surgery, the cost of a chin implant ranges from $4200-$5000. Please note: Each plan is customized to individual situations and includes facility fees, IV sedation, medication, and post-operative appointments.
Enhancing Facial Harmony
Chin length and nose size affect facial harmony. A short chin can make the nose appear larger, often prompting chin augmentation alongside reduction rhinoplasty for balance.
Chin augmentation adds length or volume to improve jawline aesthetics and profile. It's commonly done with facelift surgery or separately.
Alternatives include fat grafting or filler injections for similar results.
The Chin Implant Procedure
Prior to any surgery, you will be given a consultation discussing your procedure plans, questions and concerns. Then you will be given a quote, and can schedule the procedure should you choose. Performed as an out-patient procedure in our private, accredited, office based ambulatory surgical facility, chin augmentation is generally performed with light IV sedation. The surgeon will first make a small incision under the chin and the implant is then carefully inserted into a pocket along the lower border of the mandible.
