How Chin Augmentation Affects Facial Structure
A chin augmentation can restore facial balance, jawline definition, and refine your profile from every angle.
Improved Facial Balance
Chin implants help bring the lower face into better proportion, improving how the chin relates to the nose, lips, and jawline.
Stronger Jawline Definition
By adding structure to a recessed or underdeveloped chin, chin implants create clearer definition and a more cohesive side profile.
Long-Term Structural Support
Chin implants provide stable, lasting support at the foundation of the face without relying on temporary volume.

How Much Does Chin Augmentation Cost?
In Tampa, the cost of chin augmentation surgery typically falls between $4,000 and $7,000. Your exact cost depends on the type of implant used, anesthesia, and surgical facility fees. If your chin augmentation is combined with another procedure like a facelift, or rhinoplasty, the overall cost may be higher.
During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate, so you know exactly what to expect before moving forward.
What Happens During Chin Implant Surgery
- Before your procedure: You’ll meet with Dr. Dominic to review your goals and finalize your treatment plan. He’ll provide clear pre-op instructions, such as when to stop eating, drinking, or taking certain medications, so you’re fully prepared on surgery day.
- During your surgery: Dr. Dominic usually completes chin implant surgery within about 45 minutes to one hour. You’ll be placed under anesthesia to keep you comfortable as he makes a small incision, carefully places the implant, and closes the area.
- After your procedure: You’ll return home the same day with aftercare instructions to support healing, manage swelling, and protect your results. Most patients resume light activities within a few days, and we’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your recovery.
What to Expect During Chin Augmentation Recovery
Recovery from chin augmentation is usually straightforward, and most patients return to their normal routines fairly quickly. Here’s a general healing timeline, so you know what to expect:
First few days
Swelling, mild bruising, and tightness are normal. You’ll rest, keep your head elevated, and follow your post-op instructions closely.
1 week
Most visible swelling begins to subside, discomfort continues to improve, and you may feel comfortable returning to work or light daily activities.
2–3 weeks
Residual swelling continues to fade, and your chin will start to look more natural as the tissues adjust around the implant.
4–6 weeks
The implant feels more settled, you’ll be cleared for normal exercise, and your results become more refined.
3 months and beyond
Final results are fully apparent, and your chin will look balanced and refined.
Questions Patients Often Ask Before Chin Augmentation
Am I a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
Good candidates typically have a recessed or underdefined chin that affects facial balance or profile proportion. During a consultation, your facial structure, bite alignment, and overall proportions are evaluated to determine whether chin augmentation or another approach is appropriate.
Will a Chin Implant Look Natural?
When properly planned and sized, chin implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural facial anatomy. The goal is improved balance and definition, not an exaggerated or artificial appearance.
Are Chin Implants Permanent?
Yes. Chin implants are considered a long-term solution and are designed to provide lasting structural support. Unlike fillers, they do not require ongoing maintenance or repeat treatments.
Can Chin Augmentation Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes. Chin augmentation is sometimes performed alongside procedures such as rhinoplasty or neck lift when multiple areas contribute to facial imbalance. This is evaluated on an individual basis during consultation.
