What is a Chin Implant & Can It Be Used to Help My Double Chin?

Are you struggling with your appearance? If you have a prominent double chin, you might be wondering if a chin implant can create a more defined jawline.

A chin implant is a custom-shaped implant that is placed along the chin bone to define and enhance its contour. A chin augmentation can improve the profile, increase facial symmetry, sculpt the jawline and enhance the overall proportions of the face.

While a chin implant doesn’t directly eliminate a double chin, it can balance the chin by adding projection. This can reduce the appearance of a bottom-heavy jaw. By enhancing the jawline under the chin, the neck may appear more sculpted.

For those with significant fat or skin laxity causing their double chin, a chin implant alone may not provide the desired results. However, when combined with liposuction or a neck lift, the desired results may be achieved. Liposuction can remove excess fat underneath the chin, while a neck lift or lower facelift can tighten loose skin in the area. For those who desire results without going under the knife, Kybella can be a suitable option.

While a chin implant alone may not eliminate a double chin, it can enhance facial definition and improve overall proportions. For optimal results, many patients benefit from a combination of treatments tailored to their specific needs.
