Chin Implant & Chin Augmentation in Newton, MA

Chin implants are often chosen by patients who feel their chin is recessed, weak, or out of proportion with their nose and jawline. The Volpe Plastic Surgery team at New England Plastic Surgical and Aesthetics ensures that every chin enhancement surgery is carefully customized to complement each patient’s unique facial structure.

Performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. George Volpe, chin implant surgery, also known as chin augmentation, is designed to improve chin projection, balance facial proportions, and create a more defined lower face.

What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, or projection of the chin using a solid facial implant. The implant is carefully selected and positioned to improve facial balance while maintaining a natural appearance.

Chin implants are commonly used to:

Improve a recessed or under-projected chin
Create stronger jawline definition
Enhance the profile view
Restore balance between the chin, nose, and neck

Chin augmentation can be performed on its own or combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive facial enhancement.

* Individual results may vary.

Areas of Treatment for Chin Implants

Chin implant surgery improves more than just chin size. It plays a key role in lower facial aesthetics and profile balance. Areas that benefit from chin augmentation include:

Chin projection and shape to improve forward balance
Jawline definition for a stronger, more structured lower face
Lower facial balance between the chin, lips, and jaw
Neck and profile enhancement, especially in side view
Facial symmetry, improving the chin–nose–neck relationship

By addressing these areas together, chin enhancement surgery can create subtle but impactful improvements.

Am I a Candidate for Chin Implants?

Not everyone is an ideal candidate for chin implant surgery. A consultation is essential to determine whether this procedure is the right option for your goals. Ideal candidates often include individuals who:

Have a weak or recessed chin
Feel their lower face lacks balance or definition
Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Age and facial maturity are important considerations, as chin implants are typically recommended for adults whose facial growth is complete. Some patients may be better suited for non-surgical chin fillers, while others may benefit from alternative procedures such as chin reduction or jawline contouring. During consultation, Dr. Volpe will explain which approach best aligns with your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Chin Implant Procedure and Recovery

Chin implant surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The implant is placed through a small incision, usually hidden inside the mouth or beneath the chin.

Chin implant recovery generally includes:

Temporary swelling and mild discomfort
Use of a compression garment in some cases
Return to non-strenuous activities within one to two weeks

Most swelling resolves gradually, and results continue to refine as healing progresses. Detailed post-operative instructions are provided to support a smooth recovery.
