Are you concerned about a recessed chin that affects your profile or facial balance? At Park Smiles NYC, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Aryeh Mahana, provides advanced chin augmentation procedures using both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Experience expert facial enhancement with natural-looking results at our sophisticated Manhattan practice.
Chin augmentation can dramatically improve facial balance and profile for patients with specific aesthetic concerns related to chin projection and facial harmony. This specialized procedure addresses several common issues that affect overall facial appearance.
A recessed or “weak” chin that creates an imbalance between facial features, particularly in profile view, can be effectively corrected through augmentation procedures. This structural enhancement creates better proportional balance between the chin, nose, and other facial features, often providing significant improvement in overall facial aesthetics.
Patients who feel their facial profile lacks definition or appears flat often benefit from the enhanced projection that chin augmentation provides. The additional structure creates more defined contours and improved separation between the chin and neck, contributing to a more refined appearance. A small chin can significantly impact the jawline and overall facial proportions.
Facial asymmetry involving the chin or lower face can be addressed through carefully planned augmentation that restores balance between the left and right sides. Our Manhattan specialists evaluate the specific nature of asymmetry to determine whether implants or other techniques can create more harmonious proportions.
Double chin appearance caused by a small or recessed chin (rather than excess fat) responds well to augmentation, as increased projection creates better separation between the chin and neck. This structural correction often creates a more defined jawline and improved neck contours without the need for additional procedures.
At Park Smiles NYC, our thorough assessment determines whether chin augmentation represents the most appropriate solution for your specific concerns, with recommendations tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

Chin implant surgery, or mentoplasty, is a facial plastic surgery that can create a larger, more projected, or more prominent chin in individuals who desire more definition in this facial feature. This cosmetic surgery approach uses biocompatible implant materials to enhance chin projection. During your consultation with Dr. Mahana at Park Smiles NYC, he will use digital enhancement software to provide you with a realistic visual projection of your results to assist you in your evaluation and decision.
The minor operation is performed in our office as an outpatient procedure with IV sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and requires a few days of recovery. Thanks to new technology in biomaterials, silicone implants are very successful and extremely well tolerated by the body. Most implants are placed through an incision inside the mouth or through a small incision beneath the chin.
The newest chin implants, known as anatomic implants, are natural-feeling and follow the contours of the normal jaw line. They come in various shapes and sizes to personalize the aesthetics of each patient. The implant size is carefully selected based on your facial anatomy and desired outcome. The intraoral approach (inside the mouth) is often preferred as it leaves no visible scarring on the skin.
Another excellent option, called sliding genioplasty (also known as osseous genioplasty), is a surgical procedure designed to correct a retrusive chin and achieve a more aesthetically pleasing facial structure without using silicone implants. Sliding genioplasty involves making a cut through the bone of the chin, which is called an osteotomy. By freeing up the retruded chin bone, Dr. Mahana is able to reposition the bone forward to a more desirable orientation. A small plate, made from titanium, is used to secure the chin in its new position on the jawbone. Small screws are used to hold the plate in place. This simple procedure can dramatically improve the balance, proportion, and harmony of the facial features.
The results from a sliding genioplasty will be permanent and immediately noticeable. As the swelling resolves, the final appearance of the chin can be fully appreciated. This technique may also involve adjustments to the mentalis muscle to ensure optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Chin augmentation offers remarkable aesthetic benefits that enhance overall facial appearance and balance. The most immediate improvement is enhanced profile appearance, with better projection that creates more pleasing proportions between the chin, nose, and forehead. This improved balance often makes other facial features, like the nose, appear more proportional without requiring additional procedures.
For many patients, chin enhancement creates better definition along the jawline and improved separation between the chin and neck. This enhanced structure contributes to a more refined lower face with clearer contours and reduced appearance of jowling or double chin in many cases. A stronger jawline results from proper chin projection and positioning. The structural improvement frequently creates a more youthful appearance, as a well-defined chin helps support surrounding tissues against the effects of aging.
Beyond these physical improvements, many of our Manhattan patients report significant psychological benefits following successful chin augmentation. The enhanced facial balance often translates to greater comfort with profile photos and increased confidence in social and professional interactions. Unlike temporary treatments, surgical chin augmentation provides permanent enhancement that maintains its appearance for decades, making it a long-term investment in facial aesthetics. The procedure can positively affect the appearance of the lower lip and overall facial proportions.
At Park Smiles NYC, your chin augmentation procedure is performed by Dr. Aryeh Mahana, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon with specialized training in facial aesthetics and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Mahana brings extensive experience in facial implant procedures and structural modifications, combining technical surgical expertise with an artist’s eye for proportion and balance in facial enhancement. He is trained in advanced surgical techniques, including both implant placement and osseous genioplasty.
What distinguishes our Manhattan approach to chin augmentation is our commitment to creating natural-looking results that enhance rather than obviously alter your appearance. Dr. Mahana’s surgical philosophy emphasizes creating improvements that appear as though you were born with them—refined, balanced enhancements that complement your natural features while respecting your unique facial characteristics. He sets realistic expectations with every patient to ensure satisfaction.
Our comprehensive approach begins with a detailed consultation to understand your specific concerns regarding your chin and overall facial balance. Using advanced facial analysis and imaging, Dr. Mahana evaluates your current proportions and discusses realistic expectations for improvement. This thorough planning process ensures that your chin augmentation creates precisely the enhancement you desire, with results that appear completely natural while making a significant difference in your facial profile.
Our Manhattan practice offers the advantage of chin enhancement performed by a specialist with specific training in maxillofacial and facial aesthetic surgery rather than a general plastic surgeon. Dr. Mahana’s focused expertise in oral and maxillofacial procedures ensures a comprehensive understanding of the functional and aesthetic aspects of chin and jaw structure. This specialized knowledge translates to more precise implant selection and placement or bone repositioning techniques, with particular attention to maintaining proper jaw function while creating aesthetic improvement. For patients seeking chin augmentation, this specialized approach provides superior results with natural appearance and optimal integration with existing facial structures. He is recognized as one of the best doctors for facial plastic procedures in Manhattan.
We recognize that each patient’s chin enhancement needs are unique, requiring individualized approaches rather than a standardized solution. Our Manhattan practice offers multiple chin augmentation options, including various implant types, sliding genioplasty for bone repositioning, and non-surgical enhancement using dermal fillers. This comprehensive range allows Dr. Mahana to recommend the most appropriate approach for your specific concerns, facial structure, and desired outcome. During your consultation, we thoroughly discuss the advantages and considerations of each option, ensuring you can make an informed decision about your chin enhancement procedure. We also discuss potential complications and how we prevent infection and other issues.
Our aesthetic philosophy prioritizes creating results that enhance rather than obviously alter your appearance. Dr. Mahana’s artistic approach to chin augmentation focuses on balanced enhancement that appears as though you were naturally born with better chin projection. This commitment to subtlety and proportion ensures that your results don’t have the operated or “overdone” appearance that can occur with excessive enhancement or improper positioning. For our Manhattan patients, this means enjoying improved facial balance that friends and colleagues may notice as an overall improvement in appearance without being able to identify exactly what has changed.
Surgical chin augmentation using implants or sliding genioplasty provides permanent enhancement that maintains its appearance for decades. Modern chin implants remain stable and maintain their shape indefinitely, with no need for replacement under normal circumstances. Sliding genioplasty results are similarly permanent, as the repositioned bone segment heals in its new position and integrates completely within several months. In contrast, non-surgical chin augmentation using dermal fillers typically lasts 9-18 months before requiring maintenance treatment. During your consultation at our Manhattan office, Dr. Mahana discusses longevity considerations for each approach, helping you select the option that best aligns with your preferences for permanence versus adjustability.
Chin implant procedures can be performed through either intraoral incisions (inside the mouth) or a small external incision placed in the natural crease beneath the chin. The intraoral approach leaves no visible external scarring on the skin but may involve a slightly longer recovery period. External incisions, while visible initially, typically heal as a barely perceptible fine line that blends with the natural crease. Sliding genioplasty is generally performed through an intraoral approach with no visible external scarring. Non-surgical enhancement using dermal fillers involves only injection points that leave no permanent marks. During your consultation at our Manhattan practice, Dr. Mahana discusses incision options and scarring considerations specific to your procedure.
Recovery following chin augmentation varies based on the specific procedure. For chin implant surgery, most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for 5-7 days, with the most visible swelling resolving within 2 weeks. Sliding genioplasty involves a somewhat longer recovery period, with significant swelling typically lasting 10-14 days and residual swelling gradually resolving over 4-6 weeks. Most patients return to work and social activities within 7-10 days following implant placement and 10-14 days after sliding genioplasty.
During the first few weeks of recovery, patients should follow specific instructions, including keeping the head elevated, consuming soft foods or a soft diet, avoiding heavy lifting, and using cold compresses to reduce swelling. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage discomfort. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions to prevent infection and minimize the risk of complications. While complications are rare with this safe procedure, understanding common complications and how to avoid them is part of our patient education. Non-surgical enhancement with dermal fillers involves minimal downtime, with potential mild swelling or bruising resolving within 2-3 days. During your consultation at our Manhattan office, Dr. Mahana provides a detailed recovery timeline based on your specific procedure plan.
