Introduction
Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kassir is an expert in chin augmentation or reduction. Here, you will find everything you need to know about your options.
The appeal of a defined jawline and the “v” look is not something new. Many male patients are especially keen on that chiseled chin and jawline. Female patients often dread the appearance of a double chin. Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that targets the size and shape of the chin, increasing its balance in the facial ratio. It is a minimally invasive procedure that amplifies jaw definition, reduces the appearance of a double chin, and boosts the facial profile by adding silicone-based implants onto the natural bone structure of the chin. If you are looking to amplify your chin and learn more about chin augmentation in New York City or New Jersey, schedule a consultation with triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ramtin Kassir at Kassir Plastic Surgery.
A mentoplasty, commonly referred to as a chin augmentation, is usually desired by the patient or suggested by Dr. Kassir when a small or recessive chin disrupts facial harmony. The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
During a consultation, Dr. Kassir will recommend a custom chin implant size that works in harmony with the rest of the facial features. During the procedure, Dr. Kassir makes a small incision below the chin and inserts the implant. When done by an experienced plastic surgeon, the patient should not feel the implant. After this procedure, the patient may be allowed to go home and resume normal public activities within a few days.
We have found that most of our patients have mentoplasty in combination with other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty, to create maximum facial balance without having to undergo multiple procedures under anesthesia. Dr. Kassir will use the most appropriate implant and technique to fit the contour and projection necessary to achieve your desired look.

The first step in getting chin augmentation in New York City or New Jersey is to schedule a consultation with triple-board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kassir at Kassir Plastic Surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Kassir will ask about your medical history, aesthetic goals, and chin and facial balance expectations.

This is a great time to ask any questions about the procedure, including the pros and cons and any ideas for combined procedures.
Once the examination is complete, Dr. Kassir might show you samples of various chin implants available and before-and-after photos of past patients to help you decide which type of implant you want.
If you both agree to proceed with the procedure, Dr. Kassir will design a surgical plan for you. You can then take the plan to our patient coordinator for scheduling and pricing and to receive any pre-operative instructions.
