Chin Augmentation in Irvine, California
A well-defined chin brings harmony to the entire face. Chin augmentation, also called mentoplasty, adds shape or projection to a recessed chin, sharpens the jawline, and creates balanced facial proportions. Whether performed alone or combined with a rhinoplasty or facelift, chin surgery can dramatically enhance your profile and boost your confidence.

What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, or projection of the chin to create facial balance. Depending on your anatomy, the enhancement can be achieved with a biocompatible implant, by advancing your own chin bone (sliding genioplasty), or by reshaping the bone for subtle contour changes. Incisions are discreetly hidden either inside the mouth or in the natural crease beneath the chin, leaving almost no visible scarring.
Because the chin anchors the lower face, improving its projection can make the nose appear smaller, define the neck, and bring harmony to facial features. Many patients choose to combine chin augmentation with rhinoplasty, facelift, or neck contouring for a comprehensive transformation.
Why Choose South Coast Plastic Surgery for Your Chin Augmentation?
If you're considering chin augmentation, South Coast Plastic Surgery is here to guide you through every step. Dr. Kyle Song and Dr. Paige Benyamein will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan that addresses your concerns and helps you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Improve a Receding or Under-Projected Chin
Adding forward projection can transform a weak chin into a strong focal point, creating a more confident side profile and balanced facial proportions.
Enhance Jawline Definition and Neck Contour
Increased chin volume sharpens the jawline, reduces the appearance of a double chin, and lends a slimmer, more sculpted neck.
Create Harmony Between the Chin and Nose
Balancing chin projection can make the nose look more proportional, especially when combined with rhinoplasty, for overall facial symmetry.
Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance Results
Implants and bone repositioning techniques provide results that generally last a lifetime, requiring no routine maintenance once healing is complete.
Boost Self-Confidence in Photos and Social Settings
A balanced profile often leads to greater comfort in front of cameras and in social or professional interactions.
Complement Other Facial Procedures
When paired with facelift, neck lift, or facial fat grafting, chin augmentation completes a harmonious, youthful aesthetic.
