Dr. Edmund Kwan is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in New York who works with patients looking for plastic surgery procedures, including men. Chin augmentation and reshaping for men is growing in popularity as patients find themselves desiring a more chiseled jawline. This may include the reduction of the jaw with genioplasty.
Here are some frequently asked questions often heard by our team:
What is chin augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a procedure that is specifically designed to enhance the shape and size of your chin, often using implants (surgical) or fillers (non-surgical).
Who should consider chin augmentation?
If you’ve always felt like your chin is too small or your jawline isn’t as sharp as you’d like, chin augmentation might be a great option. It’s popular among men wanting a more defined, masculine look.
Does chin augmentation look natural?
Absolutely! When done by a skilled professional, a chin augmentation is tailored to complement your facial structure. The result? A natural, enhanced version of you, like you just woke up with a perfectly chiseled jawline.
What are the options for chin augmentation?
You can choose between surgical implants for a long-term solution or non-surgical fillers for a quicker, temporary fix. Your choice depends on how dramatic you want the results to be and your comfort level.
Is the procedure painful?
There is no need to fear this procedure. Genioplasty is a reduction surgery performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure you’re comfortable. Post-procedure pain is usually minimal, manageable with over-the-counter medications, and short-lived.
How long does recovery take?
For surgical implants, you’ll likely need about 1-2 weeks to recover fully. Non-surgical filler options, however, have little to no downtime. You could even fit an appointment between lunch and your next meeting and get an improved chin shaped under the care of our experienced provider.
How long do the results last?
Surgical implants are permanent, whereas fillers last between 9-24 months, depending on the type used. Both options deliver noticeable results you’ll love.
Will people know I had done something?
Not unless you tell them! A well-done chin augmentation for men enhances your features subtly, making you look stronger and more confident without looking “overdone.”
