Chin augmentation using a silicone implant to strengthen the chin for a more defined jawline in a younger woman

Many individuals are born with or develop a weak chin. These patients often have a long dental or orthodontic history as a child or teenager. As an adult, a weak chin can contribute to appearance of a double chin despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Chin augmentation with an implant is an option to consider as it can help contour the chin and create better facial balance.

This Virginia woman traveled a long distance to Potomac Plastic Surgery's DC office to see Dr. Chaboki, a board certified facial plastic surgeon. She was considering various options, including a facelift, to help enhance her appearance. Dr. Chaboki offered a chin augmentation with silicone implant as an alternative to facelift surgery which has longer downtime.

After photographs are a couple months after chin implant surgery. She chose a large implant size and has an enhanced appearance with reduction of the double chin. Other patients may choose additional facial sculpting procedures such as neck liposuction, buccal fat reduction, or a neck lift to further enhance the chin augmentation. She is so happy with her natural results.
