Chin Augmentation for Men
in New York City & Manhattan

Chin augmentation is also known as mentoplasty and helps to reshape the chin. Cosmetic chin surgery is a great option for anybody who feels that their chin is not shaped well and not in harmony with the rest of the face. It is a popular procedure for men today, and Dr. Wallach offers the latest and most advanced technology to achieve definition to your chin area.

A classic masculine feature is a strong chin. However, aging and weight gain are some of the factors that lead to men experiencing a weak and receding chin. For some, genetics may have failed to provide them with a strong chin. Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that helps to achieve a prominent chin and bringing the rest of the facial features into harmony as well.

Chin augmentation adds proportion to the chin and gives it the required balance with the rest of the face. A weak chin makes the entire face appear unbalanced, and this sometimes bothers men who strive to be competitive at work. A weak chin with no definition overshadows other facial features too, like making a large nose appear even more prominent. Chin enlargement using implants balances the facial structure. If you wish to augment the shape and size of your chin, implants are a great option. In addition to defining your jawline, chin augmentation takes years off your appearance.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Wallach in February 2012 to discuss body-contouring procedures after massive weight loss. I had seen two plastic surgeons prior to Dr. Wallach. From the very moment that I received a phone call from the patient coordinator I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Wallach listened and answered all of my questions and was very patient. In May 2012 I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur d’lis. Dr. Wallach was there every step of the way. I had never met a doctor more dedicated to his patients. While other plastic surgeons were willing to do an entire body lift at once Dr. Wallach would not compromise his patients’ health. He is honest, caring, and above all a very competent surgeon. I would strongly recommend his care to anyone considering a procedure. He is truly an exceptional surgeon, whose expertise far outweighs other surgeons in his field. The quality of Dr. Wallach’s patient care and bedside manner is far superior to that of other plastic surgeons with whom I have consulted, and the passion he exhibits for his profession is second to none. Dr Wallach’s first priority is always patient health and safety, and is unwilling to compromise either for fiscal gain. This is not something I can say about the other plastic surgeons I consulted with, who were willing to perform any elaborate, complicated, and much more risk-laden surgery because “the price was right.” I would not go to any other surgeon and I am looking forward to my next procedure with Dr. Wallach.

I was referred to and met Dr. Wallach in late January 2014 regarding having a BBL procedure done, Dr. Wallach easy going personality and professionalism put my mind at ease. I have unique medical issues and after speakina with him I knew he was the perfect physician for my procedure. My surgery was scheduled for mid-February and it went without a hitch. Mind you the day of the surgery there was a big snowstorm; but everyone on the team including myself made it in safely. Dr. Wallach was very informative on the day of surgery: explaining evey step to me and my husband. He was caring and made sure everything was being done to ensure our privacy and that I was comfortable. I must say I was very satisfied with the results and still am. I would definitely go back to Dr Wallach for any future work and would highly recommend him! His office assistant Nicole is a sweet heart and thank them both for the loving care. I have received endless compliments and owe Dr. Wallach a multitude of gratitude!!!!!

Candidates

There are several aesthetic advantages of chin augmentation. The best candidate should be in good health and have realistic expectations for improving a weak chin or undefined jawline. A good implant candidate will have:

  • A large or prominent nose
  • Recessed chin
  • Fleshy neck area or double chin

The chin implants used for your augmentation are constructed from special medical-grade material which looks and feels like your natural bone. Your surgery can be customized to suit your specific needs since the implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Procedure

The surgery takes about 30 minutes and can be performed with local anesthesia. The incisions for your chin augmentation are usually made within the mouth, between your gums and the inner lip or using a submental incision which is placed in the shadow usually within a chin skin crease. After this, the tissue is sculpted, and an implant is added. The risks with chin augmentation are rare and the recovery time is short, allowing most men to return to work within 5 days of their surgery. Both the jawline and chin augmentation can be performed on the same day.

Cosmetic chin surgery will add some definition to the jaw, and it balances how a large nose appears. The chin implant can be used together with rhinoplasty to achieve maximum aesthetic effect, as well as lip augmentation and cheek implants to achieve better facial balance.

Recovery

After your chin augmentation surgery, most men are able to get back to work within 5 days. Any strenuous exercise should be avoided for 10 days post-surgery. Swelling is the most common side effect of the surgery and most of it will go down within a week. Some men may experience prolonged swelling, but final results are usually visible within a few months.  Dr. Wallach will give you post-surgery instructions regarding dental and oral hygiene as well as restrictions to diet and activities.
