Chin & Jaw Augmentation
A defined, sculpted jawline is often considered an attractive feature that many people desire.
A well-defined jawline can enhance your facial profile, highlighting your cheekbones and other features. However, for many, the natural structure may lack definition or have become softer over time due to factors like weight fluctuations, aging, or changes in dental structure.
What is chin augmentation?
Temporary solutions like makeup or facial fillers can provide more definition or create the illusion of deeper contours. However, these methods can be tedious, costly, and may sometimes appear unnatural. Additionally, they are not permanent, requiring continuous maintenance to maintain the desired look.
Chin augmentation through plastic surgery offers a more permanent solution, allowing patients to address imperfections and reshape their facial structure for a more dramatic and lasting result. When performed by an experienced physician, such as double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Norman Stewart, MD, FACS, the results are natural-looking and enhance your features, delivering an improved aesthetic outcome.
Who is an ideal candidate for cheek or chin augmentation?
Ideal candidates for facial plastic surgery, such as cheek and chin augmentation, are adults in good overall health who are committed to the cosmetic procedure and able to comfortably recover afterward. This procedure is recommended for those who are dissatisfied with their natural facial structure or have experienced a loss of tissue around the cheeks or mouth over time.
During your consultation, Dr. Nicholas Jones, a plastic surgeon in Atlanta, will help you determine if this procedure is right for you.
Plastic surgery should be carefully considered before making a decision. It’s important to understand that it may not be suitable for everyone, and the results, surgical process, and overall experience can vary from person to person. Having realistic expectations is key.
Why should you consider cheek and chin augmentation?
Do you love seeing a sharply defined jawline and well-contoured cheekbones when you look in the mirror? If so, you've likely tried various tools, tricks, gadgets, and makeup products designed to contour, highlight, and define your facial features. Unfortunately, none of these products provide a lasting solution, which is why many patients turn to chin and cheek augmentation for a more dramatic and permanent transformation. Some popular benefits of this procedure include:
Facial balance
Some patients notice that their facial structure appears unbalanced, leading to an asymmetrical profile or contour. Gently correcting one side can help create a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
A bold, sculpted look
High cheekbones and a defined jawline have long been regarded as highly attractive and sought-after features in beauty. Many people aim to enhance these traits to boost their confidence and achieve a striking appearance without the need for makeup or fleeting trends.
Minimize the signs of aging on the face
As we age, various factors can visibly affect the skin, especially on the face. Common signs include tissue loss, sunken areas, hollowed features, sagging, drooping, and wrinkles. Cheek and chin augmentations can help restore your skin's youthful look and enhance overall facial rejuvenation.
What to anticipate during the procedure
The approach for your cheek and chin augmentation will be tailored to your specific needs, the type of enhancement you're looking for, and the extent of surgery required to achieve the desired outcome.
Typically, the procedure involves the placement of one or more implants to sculpt the desired facial contour.
The implants used are made of silicone and can be customized to meet each patient's individual needs. Fat grafting and other techniques may also be incorporated.
During the surgery, a small pocket is created in the targeted area—whether the cheeks, chin, or both—and the implant is carefully positioned before the incision is closed. If necessary, excess tissue, skin, or fat may also be removed to ensure a smooth, tight, and natural-looking result.
What results can be expected from cheek and chin augmentation?
Patients who undergo chin, cheek, or combined facial augmentation often report increased confidence, enhanced attractiveness, and greater comfort with their appearance. For those seeking a more masculine jawline, the procedure can target the chin area to create a more defined look around the mouth and jaw. Similarly, individuals desiring higher cheekbones or more sculpted facial contours can achieve these results through natural-looking implants or fat grafting.

Post-Procedure Recovery for Cheek and Chin Augmentation
Patients should arrange for someone to pick them up after surgery and assist them around the house during the first 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. Fortunately, most chin augmentation patients in Atlanta experience a quick recovery and are able to return to work within two weeks. However, recovery time may vary for those who combine their cheek and chin augmentation with additional procedures, such as a brow lift or blepharoplasty.
To help reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort, patients can use cold compresses, ice packs, and pain medication as needed in the initial days after surgery. It's also recommended to stock up on soft foods ahead of time, as you may experience some discomfort while eating. Dr. Jones will provide you with specific care instructions prior to your surgery to support the healing process and ensure a more comfortable recovery experience.
