Chin Augmentation
Conveniently located to serve Chicago and North Shore
Chin implant surgery, also known as chin augmentation, is performed to give the chin a more pronounced and defined appearance that can bring balance to the patient’s facial proportions. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. John Rachel offers chin augmentation in Chicago and North Shore for patients who want to enhance the appearance of their chin and face.
What is Chin Augmentation Surgery?
Disproportionate facial features can accentuate the size of the nose or compromise a person’s overall appearance. Men and women who are unhappy with having a recessed chin, an undefined jawline, or facial asymmetry can enhance the contours of their lower face with chin augmentation. This surgical procedure can improve facial balance and produce beautiful, sculpted results. Dr. John D. Rachel performs chin augmentation in Chicago, Illinois, using implants of various shapes and sizes to deliver customized and permanent facial contouring results.

Chin Augmentation Surgical Technique
During surgery, an implant is placed through a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth. The implant increases chin projection, creating a more appealing balance between your chin and other features. The subtle increase in volume creates a more sculpted, youthful neckline. Your jawline is more refined, your nose may appear smaller, and your other features look more attractive. Once the implant has been inserted and properly placed the incision will be closed.
