At The Centre, P.C. in Mishawaka, IN, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform chin augmentation using advanced techniques to enhance facial balance and definition. Every procedure is personalized to harmonize with your unique features and aesthetic goals.
Chin augmentation is a medical procedure also known as genioplasty. The goal behind this type of surgery is to place an implant on a person’s existing chin to change the size and appearance of the chin. This can tremendously help achieve balance and symmetry among facial features. It can also help people who have a damaged or weak chin.
People who have a double chin can also benefit from chin augmentation because it can reduce the appearance of the double chin, which is usually caused by a smaller chin bone.
These implants are made out of safe and pliable materials that come in different shapes and sizes to fit a person’s facial structure and enhance symmetry and face contour.
Chin augmentation is just one type of surgery that can be done. Plastic surgeons can also recommend liposuction and chin reduction. Liposuction essentially removes the fat in the chin area.
The shape of a person’s chin is always related to nose size. For example, a smaller nose might make the chin look prominent, whereas a larger nose might lead to the chin looking smaller. Because of this correlation, patients who are undergoing chin augmentation surgery often opt for rhinoplasty because both surgeries can be done simultaneously.
After being placed under a general anesthesia, a small incision is made under the chin area. The surgeon might use an implant made out of silicone, cartilage or opt to use your body’s fat or tissue. The whole procedure typically lasts between 1 to 3 hours. Upon completion of the procedure, swelling is normal and can last up to a month.
The implant may extrude or is misplaced/moves.
After discussion and evaluation by one of our board-certified plastic surgeons, they may recommend this surgery to enhance the shape, size, or projection of the chin to balance your facial profile to align with the nose or jawline.
Consulting with our board-certified, expert plastic surgeons who understands your needs and wants is essential. In the end, you want to be satisfied with the result of the procedure.

It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
