Many people are born with a condition called microgenia, which is the medical term for a short chin. For others, the chin can recess gradually as a consequence of aging. As we get older, it’s also common to lose volume around the cheeks and jawline. These issues tend to upset facial harmony and make us feel self-conscious.
If you’d like to enhance the appearance of your chin or cheeks, consider chin augmentation in Tampa or cheek implants.
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to reshape or enhance the size of the chin. The surgery is often performed to improve the balance and proportions of the lower face.
If you’re interested in improving the size or shape of your chin, you may be a good candidate for chin augmentation. Ideal candidates should meet these requirements:
Chin augmentation is performed with the use of a chin implant. Based on the patient’s specific goals, our team at HK Plastic Surgery & MedSpa designs a custom implant, which is carefully inserted and molded to the shape of the existing chin bone. This provides the patient with a fuller, more proportionate chin.
For anyone unsatisfied with the size and/or shape of their chin, chin augmentation can provide the following benefits:
If you’re considering chin augmentation, the first step is to have a consultation with one of our skilled plastic surgeons. When you sit down with Dr. Holcomb or Dr. Kreithen, they will discuss the procedure with you and answer any questions you have. They will help you determine if the surgery is the right choice, and if you decide to move forward, they’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
The surgery will take place at our private, accredited surgery facility. Typically, chin augmentation is performed using local anesthesia and IV sedation. Your surgeon will begin by making a small, inconspicuous incision beneath the chin. He will then carefully insert your customized chin implant along the lower border of the mandible. Once the implant has been placed, the doctor will close the incision to finish the procedure. On average, chin augmentation surgery takes between one and three hours.
Typically, you can return home a couple of hours after your chin augmentation. Your doctor will give you detailed instructions for recovery, and you should follow them closely. You’ll likely experience some swelling and bruising, and for the first week, it will be important to get plenty of rest.
Most patients can return to their normal routine after approximately one week. However, you’ll need to refrain from strenuous physical activity for at least two to four weeks.
You may notice improvements in your chin immediately after surgery, but the final results will take some time to become visible. Within a few weeks, the swelling and bruising should begin to subside, which will reveal the size and shape of your new chin.

At our Tampa MedSpa location, our dedicated team consistently goes above and beyond to accommodate patients and create a warm, welcoming environment.
