Chin Implants in Sarasota

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.

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 to discuss your procedure plans, questions, and concerns. Then, you will be given a quote, and you can schedule the procedure. Performed as an outpatient procedure in our private, accredited, office-based ambulatory surgical facility, chin augmentation is generally performed with IV sedation. The surgeon will first make a small incision under the chin, and the implant is carefully inserted into a pocket along the lower border of the mandible.

How Much Does a Chin Implant in Sarasota Cost?
