Enhance Balance and Definition with Chin Implants in Pasadena

The chin plays an important role in shaping facial proportions and overall balance. A recessed or small chin can make the nose appear larger, blur jawline definition, and leave the face looking less structured. At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons specialize in chin implant surgery in Pasadena to create natural, long-lasting improvements. By blending artistry with precision, we provide results that restore harmony and bring out your best features.

What Are Chin Implants?

Chin implants are biocompatible devices designed to enhance the projection, shape, and contour of the chin. Placed over the existing bone, these implants create a stronger, more defined profile and improve balance between the chin, jawline, and other facial features.

Chin implant surgery can address:

  • A weak or recessed chin
  • Poor jawline definition
  • Imbalances that affect facial harmony
  • The desire for a more youthful, sculpted appearance

What to Expect During Chin Implant Surgery

Chin implant surgery is performed in our AAAHC-accredited Pasadena facility, typically under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

  • Incision: A small incision is made inside the mouth or beneath the chin.
  • Implant Placement: The implant is positioned over the chin bone and secured for natural, stable results.
  • Closure: The incision is closed with fine sutures to promote minimal scarring.

The procedure usually takes about 1 hour, and patients typically return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

After surgery, mild swelling, tightness, or bruising is common and usually resolves within 1–2 weeks.

  • Most patients return to work within 1 week
  • Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3–4 weeks
  • Final results become more defined as swelling subsides over several weeks

Chin implants provide permanent enhancement, giving patients a stronger, more sculpted profile that looks balanced and natural.
