The Benefits

  • Sculpt a stronger, more beautiful jawline
  • Enhance a weak or recessed chin
  • Firm and lengthen a short neck
  • Improve the appearance of jowls
  • Make a large nose look smaller and more balanced

How is a Chin Enhancement Done?

Dr. Moran will customize your chin enhancement based on your needs and goals. If you want a temporary change, soft tissue fillers may be used to sculpt a more defined chin. A long-lasting transformation requires surgery to reposition the chin bone or place a silicone implant.

Implants

Silicone chin implants can improve projection, better define your jawline, and restore balance to your face and profile. Unlike breast implants, chin implants can last a lifetime.

Fillers

Non-surgical fillers – such as Juvéderm Voluma and Restylane – offer a quick, convenient, and affordable way to enhance the chin. Depending on the filler used, your transformation can endure up to two years.

Although there are a variety of options to choose from, most of Dr. Moran’s Nashville patients opt for a chin implant to improve its definition. During your consultation, she will discuss the various techniques and help you determine which one is in your best interest.

Chin + Nose A Beautiful Combination

Dr. Moran often recommends chin surgery to her rhinoplasty patients. Correcting these two critical features simultaneously can enhance facial balance because they are so intimately related. In fact, the chin has a profound impact on the perceived size of the nose.

Are You a Candidate?

The best candidates for chin enhancement are individuals who:

  • Are in good physical health
  • Have realistic expectations for what surgery can accomplish
  • Are unhappy with their recessed chin, poor neck definition, and underdeveloped profile
