Chin Implant Specialist Serving Chicago, Schaumburg, IL

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced chin implant surgery, also known as mentoplasty, to help patients achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. Dr. Paul, our board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in facial aesthetic procedures tailored to each individual’s unique features and cosmetic goals.

A chin implant is an excellent option for individuals who feel their chin is recessed, weak, or disproportionate compared to the rest of their facial features—especially the nose and jawline. During your consultation at Face Works Plastic Surgery, our team will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss your desired outcome to determine the ideal implant size and shape for you.

The procedure is performed in our state-of-the-art surgical suite. We will create a discreet incision either inside your mouth or under your chin, minimizing any visible scarring. A custom-shaped, biocompatible implant is then placed securely over your natural chin bone, sculpted to enhance your jawline and bring your facial features into beautiful balance.

After the implant is positioned, the incision is closed with meticulous suturing techniques to promote optimal healing. Over time, the implant integrates with your natural tissues, resulting in a strong, defined chin and a more attractive profile. Most patients enjoy permanent results and improved self-confidence following their chin augmentation.

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we offer chin implant procedures (also known as chin augmentation or genioplasty) to help patients achieve greater facial balance and harmony. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques to enhance the shape and size of the chin, resulting in a more confident and refined profile.

During your chin implant procedure, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. The surgery typically begins with the administration of anesthesia, which may be local with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and medical needs.

Once you are comfortable, your surgeon will make a discreet incision either inside the mouth along the lower lip or underneath the chin in a natural crease. The choice of incision is personalized to your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Through this incision, a pocket is carefully created in front of the chin bone and beneath the muscles.

A biocompatible, pre-shaped chin implant—commonly made of safe silicone or another trusted material—is then inserted into the pocket. Our surgeons meticulously adjust and position the implant for optimal symmetry and a natural appearance, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your facial features.

After the implant is securely in place, the incision is closed with sutures. If placed inside the mouth, dissolvable stitches are used, while external incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize visible scarring. A dressing or bandage may be applied to reduce swelling and support your new chin contour as you heal.

The chin augmentation procedure generally takes less than an hour, and most patients return home the same day. Our dedicated team will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, manage any swelling or discomfort, and promote optimal results.

Once placed by our expert team, chin implants are intended to last a lifetime, providing a balanced and harmonious profile that complements your unique facial features. While these implants are engineered to resist degradation, it is important to remember that “permanent” does not mean immune to change. Rarely, complications such as infection, displacement, or dissatisfaction with cosmetic results can occur, and our surgeons are fully equipped to address such issues, including implant removal, replacement, or repositioning if necessary.

Additionally, as you age, natural changes to facial structure may influence your overall appearance and the harmony of your chin and jawline. At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we recommend regular follow-up visits so we can monitor your results and address any concerns promptly.

Chin augmentation with an implant at Face Works Plastic Surgery offers a permanent enhancement to your facial profile, but—as with any surgical procedure—it’s essential to discuss all potential risks and benefits with your surgeon. Our team is dedicated to ensuring you receive thorough consultation, expert care, and the best possible outcome for years to come.

Many patients notice that their facial proportions are noticeably enhanced after a chin implant, but the results remain subtle and natural-looking—never exaggerated or artificial. Our goal is to provide you with aesthetic improvements that boost your confidence while maintaining your unique appearance.

It’s important to understand that while chin implants can significantly improve the lower face, they do not treat concerns such as excess fat or loose skin in the neck or jawline. If you have additional concerns, our surgeons can discuss complementary procedures such as neck liposuction or a neck lift to help you achieve your desired outcome.

Your results will depend on your individual anatomy, the size and shape of the implant selected, and the surgical expertise of our team at Face Works Plastic Surgery. Our surgeons are committed to personalized care, walking you through every step of the process and ensuring your expectations are realistic and achievable. While chin implant results are long-lasting and generally considered permanent, minor changes may occur over time due to natural aging.

Dr. Paul C. Dillon, M.D,  is dedicated to delivering highly personalized chin implant procedures designed to achieve balanced and natural facial harmony. Each patient’s journey begins with a comprehensive facial assessment performed by our experienced surgeons, who carefully evaluate bone structure, soft tissue contours, and the unique proportions of your face.

During your consultation, Dr. Paul takes the time to understand your aesthetic goals and address any concerns you may have. He ensures open communication, so we can create a shared vision of your desired outcome. Using advanced imaging technology, Dr. Paul can simulate potential results, allowing you to preview how various implant sizes, shapes, and projections will transform your facial profile.

Dr. Paul meticulously plans every aspect of your chin augmentation, taking precise measurements to determine the optimal implant position and type for your individual features. He pays special attention to the relationship between the chin, nose, and jawline, ensuring your results are seamless and harmonious. In some cases, our providers may suggest combining chin augmentation with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty or neck contouring, for enhanced facial balance and definition.

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we believe in a fully customized approach. By tailoring each procedure to your distinct facial anatomy and personal preferences, our goal is to achieve results that are balanced, natural-looking, and beautifully aligned with your individual sense of beauty.
