Bring Definition to Your Jawline with Chin Augmentation in Tampa

A weak or recessed chin—often referred to as microgenia—can disrupt facial balance and create the illusion of a larger nose or undefined jawline. At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we offer chin implant surgery in Tampa to enhance projection, correct asymmetry, and establish a stronger, more harmonious facial profile. Whether the issue stems from genetics or age-related volume loss, chin augmentation provides a long-term solution for achieving balance and structure.

Why Consider a Chin Implant?

Chin augmentation is ideal for individuals who:

Have a naturally short or recessed chin
Notice age-related volume loss in the pre-jowl region
Want a more defined jawline and stronger profile
Feel their nose appears disproportionately large
Are seeking permanent enhancement over temporary fillers

Chin implants are commonly performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with a facelift, neck contouring, or rhinoplasty for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

The Chin Augmentation Procedure

All procedures take place at our AAAASF-certified surgical center in Sarasota, but consultations are available in Tampa for your convenience.

What to Expect:

Procedure time: ~1 hour
Anesthesia: IV sedation
Incision location: Under the chin (well-hidden)
Implant placement: Along the lower jawbone to create ideal projection and structure

The implants are crafted from biocompatible materials and custom-selected for your facial shape. The outcome is a stronger, more defined lower face and jawline.

Chin Implant Recovery

Most patients experience a 1-week recovery before returning to light activities. Here’s what to expect:

Mild discomfort and swelling
Limited bruising around the chin area
Return to work/school: ~5 to 7 days
Resume strenuous exercise: After 2 to 4 weeks

We'll provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal healing.

Chin Implants vs. Other Options

Fat Grafting

Uses your own fat for subtle, natural contouring
May require touch-ups over time
Less structural support than implants

Dermal Fillers

Non-surgical and reversible
Good for trial enhancement or subtle changes
Temporary: results last 6–12 months

Dr. Holcomb or Dr. Salzman will help you determine the best option based on your goals and anatomy.
