Jaw Implant Surgery Chester NJ
The chin is very important for creating balance in the lower face. A well-proportioned chin sets the facial height, creates a defined jawline, and balances the nose. Each facial shape is different. At our practice, we prioritize personalized care and attention to detail. We begin with a comprehensive consultation which includes specialized digital imaging technology to help patients visualize different chin sizes and shapes.
During a chin augmentation procedure, our surgeons skillfully reshape and augment the chin using implants, to create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing facial profile. The incision is very well hidden and may be placed inside the mouth or under the chin in a natural crease. For many patients this procedure is performed under local anesthesia alone, without requiring sedation or general anesthesia.
Deciding to undergo chin augmentation is a personal and important decision. Our 100% private fully-accredited ambulatory surgical center adheres to the highest standards of cleanliness and patient care, providing you with a safe and supportive environment throughout your chin augmentation journey.

Urban Facial Plastics Chin Augmentation FAQs
Patients of all ages undergo chin augmentation
Chin augmentation is a short procedure usually requiring only 30-45 minutes.
Many patients choose to have their chin augmentation under a local anesthesia or with a light sedation.
Chin Augmentation is often combined with other procedures, but when it is offered as a standalone procedure it usually costs between $3,500 and $5,500. If an implant is used there may be an additional cost for the implant.
For most patients there is very little pain after chin augmentation. There is swelling after surgery which usually peaks around the third day and there may be some bruising lasting a few days. Patients return to light physical activity the first day after surgery and usually wait about 2-3 weeks to resume heavy lifting or working out. The average patient is “restaurant ready” with make-up as needed around 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
