What Is Chin Surgery?

Chin surgery is a cosmetic procedure tailored to modify the chin’s structure through augmentation or reduction, aiming to enhance or minimize its prominence as required. It addresses various concerns such as a recessed or protruding chin, volume loss due to aging, or the need for added definition to achieve facial balance. Performed under sedation or general anesthesia, this surgery is a strategic choice for individuals seeking to improve their lower facial profile and achieve a more attractive proportion between their facial features.

How Does Chin Surgery Work?

Conducted by Dr. Kaweski at the La Mesa Surgery Center within Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery, chin surgery is an outpatient procedure utilizing incisions placed discreetly inside the mouth or under the chin to minimize visible scarring. The procedure may involve the insertion of a synthetic implant along the jawline or surgical modification of the chin bone to advance or recede the chin’s position. Tailored to meet the patient’s aesthetic goals, the surgery duration ranges, depending on the complexity and specifics of the work required.
