Chin Implant in Tarzana
Chin Implant
Both men and women consider a well-defined jawline structure to be a key feature of a balanced, attractive face. The process of placing chin implants directly on the chin bone, underneath the skin, is known as chin augmentation, chin enhancement surgery, or genioplasty.
Chin enhancement is aimed at improving or enhancing the shape and size of the chin to achieve a naturally proportional and attractive look, while improving a recessed or weak chin.
Generally, Dr. Cohen may recommend chin augmentation for patients looking to:
- Improve facial harmony by adjusting the proportion of the chin relative to other facial features
- Correct a recessed or weak chin
- Reduce the appearance of a "double" or full chin due to a small chin bone
- Improve definition of the jawline and neck
What to expect
Genioplasty is an outpatient surgical procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or using general anesthesia. Dr. Cohen will make a tiny incision inside your mouth or underneath the chin in order to create space to fit the implant around the chin bone.
The implant is made from silicone or other biocompatible material. They come in different sizes. Dr. Cohen will help you choose the right implant that will deliver the desired change and give you the most natural looking result.
