The attractiveness of the face depends on how the various features are in harmony. A weak chin is a cause for concern in many people as it affects their overall appearance. The size and shape of the chin are important in determining the overall facial beauty.
Appear confident with a well proportionate chin with Chin augmentation Surgery in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus. Talk to our facial plastic surgeons about the procedure and chin implant cost in Bangalore, India.
The chin is an essential feature of a person’s face. A receded chin or a chin that lacks good distinction from the neck is highly distressing for many people. It not only affects the looks of a person but also impacts a person psychologically.
A strong chin is thought to represent a confident person, while a weak-chinned person is perceived as shy and underconfident.
Chin augmentation surgery, also called genioplasty, is performed to reshape the chin and improve facial appearance. When we look at a face, all the features should be balanced to be considered attractive.
Chin enlargement can be done both surgically and non-surgically. Surgical chin enlargement involves the placement of an implant to alter the chin’s shape, size, and projection. Various shapes and sizes of chin implants are available. The surgeon will decide the best-suited implant depending on your facial features to bring harmony and balance to your face.
Chin Augmentation Surgery is for you if:
Chin augmentation is performed as a daycare procedure under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The surgeon makes an incision either beneath the chin or inside the mouth, creating space for implant placement. The implant can be either of silicone or Medpor. The chin implant is then fitted securely to the chin bone.
The incision is then closed with sutures, and a bandage is applied.
Reach out to our knowledgeable staff to know more details about the treatment.
Pain and discomfort are relatively mild after a chin augmentation surgery. Mild painkillers or cold compresses work well to control the pain.
There is less downtime, and the patient can return to normal activities in 2-3 days. Return to work is in 7 days after the procedure. It would be best to sleep with your head elevated and face up for 10 to 15 days to help in recovery and swelling control.
Avoid excessive movement of the jaws or pressure on the chin. Consume a soft or liquid diet for one to two days after surgery. You should avoid high-impact exercises or strenuous activities for 3 to 4 weeks after augmentation. Take care of the incisions as per the surgeon’s advice.
You can see significant results within a month, but it takes nearly 3 months for all the swelling to settle and the final shape to emerge.
The possible risks are scarring, infection, bleeding, shifting of the implant, and reaction to anesthesia. Chin implant surgery, when performed by a board-certified certified surgeon, has very few complications. So choose your plastic surgeon carefully.
Chin augmentation via non-surgical means has been gaining popularity in recent years. There are two options for chin augmentation here-
Autologous Fat Grafting:
Fat grafting is a simple procedure performed under a local anesthetic. The fat from another body part, like your abdomen, is harvested. After processing this fat, it is injected into the different planes of the chin. The surgeon then molds the fat to give an attractive shape to the chin.
The advantage is that the fat is from your own body without reactions. Though some of the fat is absorbed, the rest of the fat gives you the contour that you desire. It is also cost-effective and lasts longer than fillers.
Fat grafting is inappropriate for significant augmentations, and you may need a repeat injection as all the fat does not survive.
AFT to chin is a relatively simple procedure and has little downtime. The patient might experience some swelling and bruising, and we recommend using ice packs. In a day or two, the patient can resume normal activities.
Fillers:
Fillers are artificial materials injected into the chin to enhance the shape and size. Fillers are a non-surgical option for chin augmentation and are performed on an outpatient basis.
A local anesthetic is first applied to the area and left for some time. Once it has taken effect, the filler is injected into different planes of the chin and molded to get the desired shape.
The advantage is there is no downtime. After the injection, the patient can leave the clinic after a few minutes of observation. It is ideal for people who don’t want surgery for chin enlargement.
Some slight swelling or bruising can be present. Icing the area will help alleviate the pain, swelling, and redness.
One disadvantage of fillers is that they are temporary, can last anywhere from 8 months to a year, and need repetition.
The cost of chin augmentation in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus depends on various factors. Chin augmentation cost also varies depending on surgical or non-surgical technique. The price is defined by the required enlargement, technique, implant cost, surgeon’s expertise, clinical facilities, anesthesia, and additional procedures.

Wonderful experience with Aesthetic plus. Dr. Surindhar is incredible, not only has explained me entire procedure but also ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up.

Visited Dr Surindher for a procedure which I was contemplating for a very long time. He made me extremely comfortable and explained everything in detail which made me gain confidence to go ahead with the procedure. The procedure went well with no pain at all.Post the procedure there was minor discomfort for 2-3 days and Dr Surindher was always available on call to help address any concern and to follow up with the progress.The post operative follow up was brilliant. Highly recommended Dr Surindher! Cheers and thank you !
I've known Dr. Surindhar for many years now, when he performed a surgery for removal of my axillary lymph nodes which was such an investment to my health and an addition to it's aesthetics was a bonus. I like his approachability n the precision of work, be it non or invasive jobs- big or small. I would highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic/ aesthetics related work.
Got a chemical peel from Dr.Surindher for my acne scars. My skin felt very smooth and brighter after the procedure. Had a really comfortable experience at the clinic and doctor was very patient in answering all my frequent follow up questions.
Nice place. Neat and clean. Courteous staff. Knowledgable doctor good hands didnt force me and my husband regarding procedures and gave us all the facts.

Chin augmentation/implant surgery is a relatively safe procedure. Though some risks are associated with it, an experienced surgeon can minimize them and give good results.
Yes, the results from a chin augmentation with implants are permanent.
It can take almost 6 to 8 weeks for the complete healing and for you to see the final results of the implant surgery.
You can start normal activities after a day or two but should avoid strenuous work or heavy exercise. Refrain from activities or sports that cause injury to the chin. Limit the mouth movements like excessive talking, laughing, or yawning for the first few days. Sleep with head elevated in a face-up position.
Yes, you can brush, but you should be careful not to disturb the sutures. Try to keep the brushing gentle for the first few days.
You can initially experience mild pain and soreness that is controlled with pain medications. Some patients observe itching and numbness that settles in a few weeks.
A chin augmentation gives a better differentiation between the neck and chin, making the neck look slimmer and attractive. The whole idea of facial surgery, like chin augmentation, is to bring harmony and balance.
No, the chin implant is solid and can last a lifetime.
You can non-surgically augment the chin with fillers or fat grafting/transfer. If you want a permanent change, chin augmentation with an implant is the answer. Sometimes surgery to alter the jaw bone can be done. Contact our surgeons to find out which option is suitable for you.
