If you feel that your face is disproportioned or unbalanced, you may be a candidate for a chin augmentation in NYC. Although sometimes overlooked as a potential cosmetic improvement, making your chin more prominent can create balance and harmony with your other facial features. Having a recessed chin can make your neck look unflattering or make your nose appear larger than it is.
Chin Augmentation (Chin Implant) in NYC
Chin Augmentation Overview
Adding Chin Volume to Balance Your Features With Chin Augmentation
A Chin Implant can be used to either add volume or modify the shape of your chin. It is a common procedure for both men and women in New York City who desire a more balanced, flattering facial structure. The implants should feel just like natural tissue for a natural-looking facial enhancement.
Additionally, a Chin Implant can be a critical aspect for tightening a jawline in both younger patients and older patients undergoing a facelift procedure. Chin Implants are also often used along with facetite and liposuction procedures to provide an enhanced result. When indicated, they also help to improve the longevity of jawline restorative procedures.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Chin Implant in NYC?
Almost anyone who is generally in good health can be eligible for chin implants with Dr. Westreich. The procedure is available to men and women who are dissatisfied with the size, shape, or projection of the chin. Those considering the surgery may also experience:
- A small or recessed chin area
- A pointed, asymmetrical, or misshapen chin

What You Need to Know About Chin Implant Surgery
There are a variety of materials used to make chin implants, and implants can be modified to create the perfect size, shape, definition, and projection. Dr. Westreich in NYC will work with you to determine the overall dimensions and shape of your implant based on your existing tissue and bone, and the look that will best enhance your natural features. If standard implants are not optimal, customized chin implants are also available. If warranted, Dr. Westreich will discuss this option based on your underlying anatomy and aesthetic goals. Best of all, your chin augmentation in NYC can be done under local anesthesia, which reduces risks and recovery time.
Outpatient Chin Implant Surgery in NYC
Chin implant surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia or on an outpatient basis, so you will be able to return home the same day as your procedure. The surgery can also be combined with other cosmetic procedures like submental liposuction, FaceTite, Facelift, rhinoplasty, dermal fillers, and more. When coupled with other procedures, your surgical appointment will be longer, with the enhancements you want to be completed in one surgery.
