A Naturally Beautiful Jawline
If you have lost facial harmony over the years or wonder if you could balance some of your features, a chin augmentation may be exactly what you are looking for. You deserve to look exactly like you envision yourself.
Chin augmentations can help with the following:
- bring the chin into better proportion with other features
- counter-balance other prominent features like your nose
- correct a weak or recessed chin
- improve definition of the neck and jawline or improve a “fleshy” neck
During your consultation, Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Campbell</a > will examine your chin and look for dentition and occlusion. Digital imaging also helps our doctors determine which type of chin augmentation to use to achieve the results you desire. Dr. Campbell serves the Milwaukee and Madison metro areas of Wisconsin.
The Chin Implant Procedure
The chin augmentation procedure can easily be done in-office if it is a standalone procedure, similar to how brow lift surgery is often performed. A chin implant includes placing a prosthetic implant over the chin bone (mandible). The implant is placed through an incision under the chin or under the lower teeth inside the mouth. If the teeth do not fit together properly, orthognathic surgery can sometimes be performed to improve occlusion as well as chin appearance.

Chin Augmentation Recovery and Results
Recovery following a chin implant at Quintessa is usually mild. The stitches come out in about a week and the scar is virtually invisible. Slight swelling can last several weeks to several months and make the area look slightly over-augmented, but this is seldom significant and patients are usually back to work in less than one week.
The stronger chin and profile that is created by chin augmentation is visible immediately. However, due to some swelling, final results may not be visible for several months. The results of this procedure will last a lifetime.
