Chin Augmentation in Baltimore and Towson
Conveniently located to serve Baltimore and Towson.
Create A Stronger, More Balanced Facial Profile
A well-defined chin and jawline can significantly influence your overall appearance and facial profile. If your chin is shorter or recessed, your face may appear less balanced. At Sultan Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Baltimore and Towson, MD, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Babar Sultan uses chin augmentation to add projection and create a stronger, more balanced profile.
Learn MoreWhat Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a low-risk procedure that can create dramatic, natural-looking results. It is often performed with other facial plastic surgery procedures to maintain facial balance or improve overall facial aesthetics.
Chin augmentation is most often paired with rhinoplasty to achieve a balanced profile. A chin implant can also be added to a facelift to create a smooth, aesthetically contoured, youthful jawline.
Good Candidates for Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is an excellent cosmetic procedure for men and women who desire a strong, well-defined chin that complements their facial profile. Ideal candidates are in good general health and have realistic expectations.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Sultan will examine your facial profile and ask about your medical history. He will use this information to determine whether chin augmentation is right for you.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your chin augmentation will begin with the administration of anesthesia to help you feel comfortable during the procedure. Once the anesthetic takes effect, Dr. Babar Sultan will make an incision and insert the chin implant. The implant is secured in the planned position to add projection and improve the balance between your chin, jawline, and other facial features.
After making the necessary corrections, Dr. Sultan will close the incisions and bandage the treatment area. Your specific surgical approach depends on your anatomy and treatment plan, and Dr. Sultan will explain what to expect before your procedure.
Recovery from a Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is an invasive surgical procedure that will require a short period of downtime. Immediately after the surgery, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and general discomfort in the treatment area, but this is temporary and will subside. Dr. Sultan can also prescribe medication to help you feel more comfortable as you heal.
As you heal, your chin may appear more projected and defined. The goal is a stronger facial profile that complements your existing features, not changes your overall appearance.

Improve chin projection

How Much Does Chin Augmentation Cost?

Frequently Asked Questions
A chin implant changes the external contour of the chin, not the function of your jaw. You may experience temporary tightness or discomfort while healing, but Dr. Sultan can discuss what to expect based on your procedure.
The implant is placed beneath the soft tissue of the chin, so it becomes part of your facial contour as you heal. Your experience may vary depending on your anatomy, implant placement, and healing process.
A chin implant can be removed or replaced if circumstances change or you need a revision. If you are considering a change after your initial surgery, Dr. Sultan can assess your chin and discuss the available options.
The amount of change depends on the implant size, placement, and your existing facial proportions. The goal is to add appropriate projection while maintaining balance with your other facial features.

Yes. Chin augmentation can be considered for adults of different facial structures and aesthetic goals. The surgical plan is based on your anatomy and the degree of chin projection you want rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
