Chin Augmentation, Northern Virginia
Your Choice for Surgical Chin Augmentation in Chantilly
Considering chin augmentation? Learn how Dr. V and the team at The Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts use contemporary techniques that work with your underlying anatomy to build and enhance a stunning jawline.
Understanding the Anatomy of the Jawline
Your jawline is fundamentally shaped by three major features: the mandible, the mental protuberance (chin bone), and its associated musculature, namely muscles like the mentalis and masseter. Surrounding these features are a network of ligaments and soft tissues that influence how the skin drapes over your jawline.
When the chin bone lacks projection or width, the entire jawline may appear soft or recessed. Chin implants enhance this foundational structure of the chin bone and mandible area by providing volume, angle complements, and symmetry to the lower third of the face. Even subtle changes through surgical chin augmentation can dramatically improve jawline sharpness and your facial balance.
What Can Surgical Chin Augmentation Do?
How Does It Work?
The most common chin augmentation procedure utilizes chin implants to complement and build off of your existing features. During a chin augmentation surgery using implants, a silicone or biocompatible implant is placed in your lower jaw. The chin implant serves to elongate the face, creating the appearance of a stronger and/or wider chin, which in turn translates to a more prominent jawline and a symmetrical face.
Many Northern Virginia patients elect to undergo chin implant surgery as a permanent cosmetic enhancement, often after first trying temporary chin augmentation options (such as temporary soft-tissue dermal fillers or Kybella injections).
