Chin Augmentation can be accomplished in many ways. Noticeable differences can be obtained with:
- Filler injection. In the office, Voluma, a hyaluronic acid filler made from long chains of sugars that occur naturally in the skin, can be injected and nicely augment the chin. Voluma injection contains lidocaine as part of the filler so the experience can be pleasant. One can expect the augmentation to last as long as a year.
- Fat injection. In the operating room, under local anesthesia, your own fat can be harvested and processed, and reinjected into your chin area to augment the chin. Rates of permanent “take” of the fat are 50 to 80%. Once the cells have survived, they are permanent (they are your cells!).
- Chin implants. Synthetic implants (made of silicone, Goretex, or porous polyethylene) can be placed surgically on top of the chin bone and nicely augment the chin. These are placed via an incision under the chin or through the mouth. Since they are deep to the skin they can nicely augment the chin more effectively and permanently when compared to injectables and fat. They do require a larger surgical procedure and longer recovery. These are often added to procedures such as rhinoplasty(nose job) and facelifts to enhance the change to a more youthful or aesthetic profile.
