Options for Chin Enhancement
Chin augmentation can change the size, shape, or projection of the chin to improve lower-face balance. Dr. Sheen evaluates your profile and recommends the best approach for your chin augmentation in Plano.
Chin Implants
A chin implant adds projection to a small or recessed chin. Dr. Sheen makes an incision beneath the chin or inside the mouth and places a shaped implant directly over the chin bone.
Implants come in different sizes and shapes, allowing Dr. Sheen to tailor the degree of enhancement to your facial width, profile, and surrounding features. This option creates long-lasting structural definition without moving the natural bone.
Sliding Genioplasty
A sliding genioplasty reshapes the chin bone. During surgery, the chin bone is carefully cut and moved forward, backward, or vertically before being secured in its new position.
This approach benefits patients who desire changes in chin projection or facial symmetry that an implant cannot fully address. Because the procedure moves the underlying bone, Dr. Sheen will determine whether your anatomy and concerns make it an appropriate option.
Chin Reduction
Chin reduction addresses an overly prominent or projecting chin. The procedure removes or reshapes excess bone to create a more proportionate lower face.
Dr. Sheen considers chin width, height, and projection before planning surgery. The goal is to reduce prominence while maintaining balance between the chin, jawline, lips, and nose.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can temporarily increase chin projection or refine contour without surgery. Your provider injects gel filler into selected areas to improve shape, symmetry, and balance.
Fillers may suit patients who want a nonsurgical option or wish to preview a subtle change before considering surgery. Results are temporary, so maintenance appointments are needed.
During the consultation for your chin augmentation in Plano, Dr. Sheen can explain which option best supports your facial structure and long-term preferences.
