Facial symmetry is a subconscious cue associated with beauty, health, and vitality. Among the elements that shape a first impression, your chin and jawline can influence your self-image and how others perceive you. That’s why a poorly defined or receding chin is more than a cosmetic issue.
Advanced techniques offer thoughtful, effective ways to enhance chin structure and restore harmony to your profile. In Newport Beach, Dr. Ali Sajjadian helps his patients achieve natural-looking results with a precise, people-first approach.
Understanding the Impact of a Weak Chin
Does your chin sit farther back toward your neck instead of projecting forward in harmony with your nose and forehead? Microgenia is a congenital trait for some people. For others, it develops gradually with age as bone structure and soft tissue volume begin to diminish.
Though it may seem minor, your chin is surprisingly influential in facial aesthetics. It creates balance among your features by highlighting or de-emphasizing your nose and lips. It also contributes to your jawline shape. A well-defined chin is a trait associated with youth, vitality, and attractiveness, while a recessed chin can make your jawline look softer and may even contribute to a “turkey wattle.”
Understanding how chin structure affects facial harmony explains why so many people seek personalized refinements.
Non-Surgically Correcting a Weak Chin
If you aren’t ready for surgery, Dr. Sajjadian offers temporary treatments that give you the freedom to “test-drive” your desired look.
Dermal fillers can improve your chin’s projection and definition with gel-based products that add volume. The procedure is quick, requires no downtime, and offers an immediate but reversible improvement.
Depending on the filler, your results may last up to two years. However, this non-surgical method cannot address bone structure concerns and may not provide the dramatic reshaping you’re looking for. Some patients try fillers first and then explore surgery to create more noticeable, permanent results.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation surgery involves strengthening and reshaping the chin using a carefully selected and positioned implant designed to mimic the natural contour and feel of bone. Dr. Sajjadian typically places this custom implant through an incision hidden beneath the chin or inside the mouth to avoid visible scarring.
Dr. Sajjadian will perform this procedure under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. Most patients return home the same day and resume light activities within one to two weeks as the initial swelling and bruising resolve.
This procedure may be ideal if you want enhanced chin projection, a noticeable improvement in facial balance, better jawline and neck definition, or a permanent solution after trying non-surgical treatments.
Combining Chin Surgery With Other Facial Procedures
Often, harmonizing the chin involves more than enhancing projection. Dr. Sajjadian will assess your facial anatomy and recommend complementary procedures to create additional balance.
- Neck lift: Removing excess fat and skin reveals a more contoured jawline.
- Rhinoplasty: Subtle changes to your nose define your profile in tandem with chin augmentation,.
- Cheek implants: For patients who would benefit from mid-face enhancement alongside a chin procedure.
