A well-defined chin balances facial features, creating a more proportionate and attractive appearance. It can also complement procedures like rhinoplasty for a more harmonious profile.
A well-projected chin enhances the jawline, adding structure and definition to the lower face. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals with a weak or recessed chin, as it provides a more sculpted and balanced appearance. A stronger jawline can enhance both masculine and feminine facial aesthetics, creating a sharper, more youthful profile.
Whether due to genetics or aging, an underdeveloped or overly prominent chin can impact facial harmony. Chin surgery allows for precise modifications, either augmenting a weak chin with implants or reducing excess bone for a more proportional look. By addressing these imbalances, the procedure enhances facial symmetry and creates a more naturally appealing profile.

Recovery typically takes one to two weeks, with most swelling subsiding within the first month. Full results are visible within three to six months. Patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing, including avoiding strenuous activity and maintaining a soft diet during the initial recovery period.
In most cases, incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars. If an external incision is needed under the chin, it is discreetly placed to minimize visibility. Over time, any minimal scarring that does occur will fade, blending naturally with the skin.
Patients typically experience mild to moderate discomfort after surgery, which is manageable with prescribed pain medication. Swelling and tightness are normal but subside within a few weeks. Most patients report that discomfort is temporary and significantly improves within the first few days.
es, chin surgery is often performed alongside rhinoplasty or neck liposuction to achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. Combining procedures can enhance overall facial harmony and provide more dramatic yet natural-looking improvements.
Yes, chin surgery provides long-lasting results. Whether using implants or bone repositioning, the enhancements are designed to be permanent, with only natural aging affecting long-term appearance. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following post-surgical care recommendations will help preserve results.
Most patients can return to work or light activities within a week, depending on their individual healing process. However, swelling and mild discomfort may persist for several weeks, gradually improving over time. If your job involves physical labor or strenuous activity, you may need to take two to three weeks off to allow proper healing. Dr. Díaz will provide personalized post-operative instructions, including guidelines on when you can safely resume work and other daily activities. While initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, final results become more visible over the next three to six months as your chin settles into its new shape.
For the first few days after surgery, you’ll need to stick to a soft or liquid diet to minimize strain on the chin and reduce discomfort while chewing. Foods like soups, smoothies, mashed potatoes, and yogurt are recommended during this period. As healing progresses, you can gradually reintroduce solid foods, avoiding anything too hard or chewy that could put pressure on the surgical site.
The best technique depends on your specific facial structure, aesthetic goals, and medical history. Chin implants are ideal for patients with a mildly recessed chin who want a straightforward enhancement using a biocompatible implant. This option is less invasive and provides immediate, long-lasting results. Sliding genioplasty, on the other hand, is a more advanced procedure that repositions your natural chin bone to enhance projection or correct asymmetry. It’s often recommended for patients with significant chin recession or misalignment.
