Chin Implants for Men



Why Consider Chin Augmentation

If you feel that your face is out of balance or that aging has taken its toll on the strength of your jawline, you’re not alone—and board certified Bellevue cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alex Sobel can help. Male chin augmentation can redefine your jawline and strengthen your chin, highlighting your strongest features and creating facial harmony. A sharp, powerful chin is often considered the cornerstone of masculinity, and chin augmentation is a safe and effective way to restore what’s been lost or enhance your natural appearance.

During your personalized consultation, Dr. Sobel will work with you to design a chin augmentation plan that works with your facial structure and aesthetic goals. His intimate knowledge of male facial features makes him an excellent choice for men who want to improve their jawline and retain a masculine appearance.

Chin augmentation can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures to help your jaw look chiseled and strong for years to come.

Augmenting the Chin with Facial Implants

A small or weak chin can accentuate a larger neck, create the appearance of fallen features, and make you look older than your years. By precisely placing a customized chin implant, Dr. Sobel can significantly improve the appearance of your jawline. Your implant will be designed especially for you with both your natural anatomy and unique goals in mind.

Chin augmentation surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. Dr. Sobel will begin by making a small incision under the chin through which he will insert the implant. Once the implant has been properly placed and Dr. Sobel has achieved the desired results, he will close the incision and you will be able to return home.

After your procedure, there will be some initial swelling and bruising that will dissipate over the coming weeks. Soon you will enjoy the confidence that comes with having a stronger, more masculine chin.

Combining Procedures for Enhanced Results

Submental Liposculpture

If you are comfortable with the shape of your chin but would like it to be slimmer and more defined, liposuction, or submental liposculpture, can reduce excess fat on the jawline. The fat is removed through very small incisions using a specialized cannula and results in minimal scarring. This is an effective way to reduce the appearance of jowls and remove excess fat around the jaw without altering the shape or size of the chin itself. This can also be performed in conjunction with the placement of chin implants to fully redefine the jawline.

Recovery time is relatively short, though exercise or strenuous activity should be restricted for the first few weeks. After that, it is safe to return to all of your favorite activities. Pain is minimal following the procedure and can easily be managed with medication.

“I recently had submental liposuction done by Dr. Sobel. I couldn’t be any happier already and the swelling isn’t even anywhere near gone. Very professional staff from front office and beyond. Very happy with my decision to choose Dr. Sobel to do my cosmetic procedure. Also, beautiful office. Highly recommend!

Facelift with Chin Implant

A facelift is another option to tighten up your jaw and highlight the strength of the chin. Dr. Sobel often recommends a combination facelift for men as well as chin augmentation for those who have sagging skin around the jaw and neck in addition to the desire for an improved chin shape or size. This will give your chin a more sculpted look with the added benefit of tighter skin around the lower face and neck.
