Enhance the Definition of Your Chin

A genioplasty—also known as a chin augmentation—increases the size, length, and prominence of your chin. This helps create a more balanced and harmonious appearance. Patients can experience the following benefits from a genioplasty in Plano.

  • Improved jawline contour

  • Better chin projection

  • Reduced appearance of a "double" chin

Step-by-Step: Genioplasty

Consultation

You sit down with Dr. Barton, a board-certified plastic surgeon. She assesses your facial profile and gives you a selection of chin inserts to choose from. Together, you two create a personalized treatment plan to improve facial harmony and your jawline contour.

Procedure

First, we administer anesthesia to make the procedure go by smoothly. Once the medicine has kicked in, Dr. Barton carefully makes incisions inside your mouth or under your chin. Then, she places the implant into your chin and closes the incisions with sutures or skin adhesives.

Woman admires her appearance in a handheld mirror and places a hand along her jawline.

Results

Results are immediate, but may be obscured by post-surgery swelling. Following Dr. Barton’s post-care instructions for a genioplasty in Plano can accelerate healing and help you see your full results sooner. Typically, patients can expect several weeks of recovery.
