PROCEDURES / FACE / CHIN AUGMENTATION
CHIN AUGMENTATION
Chin augmentation enhances facial balance by refining the projection and contour of the chin. Through the placement of a small, custom-fitted implant, this procedure strengthens the jawline and creates harmony in the lower facial profile and achieves natural definition.
DR. SCHULTZ'S APPROACH
Dr. Kelly Schultz approaches chin augmentation with an emphasis on proportion, balance, and natural refinement. She views the chin not as an isolated feature, but as a key part of the facial framework that shapes the overall impression of the face.
The procedure is performed through a small, undetectable incision hidden beneath the chin. Dr. Schultz uses this concealed access point to place a carefully selected implant that enhances the chin’s projection and integrates seamlessly with the surrounding anatomy.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE
Chin augmentation may be ideal for individuals who:
-
Have a receding or weak chin that affects facial balance or profile
-
Desire stronger jawline definition without appearing over-sculpted
-
Wish to improve facial harmony when viewed from the side or front
-
Are considering rhinoplasty, as chin projection often complements nasal refinement
-
Are in good health with realistic expectations for subtle, natural results
Dr. Schultz carefully evaluates the face from all angles to determine the most harmonious degree of enhancement, often using digital imaging to help patients visualize potential outcomes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Chin augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia. The procedure takes about one hour, and patients return home the same day.
Swelling and mild tightness are expected for several days. Patients wear a light supportive dressing for the first few nights to ensure stability of the implant.
RECOVERY AND HEALING
DAYS 0-3
Mild swelling and tightness are normal. Cold compresses and elevation help reduce discomfort.
WEEK 1
Most swelling subsides, and the incision begins to heal discreetly.
WEEKS 2-4
The contour refines, and patients may resume exercise and normal activities.
MONTHS 3-6
Final result becomes visible. The chin is smooth, defined, and in perfect balance with the surrounding features.
BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY
Chin augmentation refines facial harmony, restoring balance and confidence with natural, proportionate definition.
Dr. Schultz combines precision and artistry to achieve results that enhance without exaggerating. During consultation, she evaluates each patient’s anatomy and goals to design a personalized plan to create elegant, lasting facial balance.
