What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a common cosmetic treatment aimed at adding definition around the jawline for patients with small, recessed, or misshapen chins. When a chin lacks shape and size, it can often create a weak profile. Both surgical and nonsurgical chin augmentation can be performed to highlight your chin, but one of the most effective procedures is using an implant to build a more prominent jawline and a more defined profile. In San Diego, CA, plastic surgeon Dr. Jose Rodriguez provides several options to consider for your chin enhancement. In addition to implants, which are produced in various sizes and shapes, genioplasty might be an option. This treatment at Rodriguez Plastic Surgery shaves and removes bone and cartilage to reshape your chin and jaw to a more appealing size.
How Does Chin Augmentation Surgery Work?
For your convenience, chin augmentation surgery is performed at our San Diego, CA office in a private operating room. After sedation is administered, Dr. Rodriguez will make a careful incision under your chin. In this incision, a surgical pocket is formed to secure the implant in its proper place, which includes shaving some of the bone and cartilage to make grooves to securely hold your implant in position. The chin implant is placed through the incision and positioned over the bone, just below your bottom lip. In some cases, the incision can be created inside the crease in the lower lip where it connects to your gumline. Both incision points help to hide scars. Tiny stitches are used to connect and close the incisions, and your chin will be wrapped with bandages.
What Are the Benefits of Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation at Rodriguez Plastic Surgery offers subtle yet noticeable adjustments to the facial profile with several great additional advantages, including:
- Improves the structure of the face
- May increase the width or height of the chin
- Minimizes the appearance of full jowls and/or a double chin
- Improvements are natural-looking and last a long time
- Might add a more cosmetically appealing shape to the profile
- Emphasizes the jawline
- Promotes a sharper face shape
- Strengthens a nondescript or small chin
- Scars are nearly invisible
- Reliable treatment with potentially life-altering outcomes

Dr. Rodriguez he’s the most talented doctor I ever seen. I had an accident dog attacked me and bit my ear. I went to the emergency at Sharp Grossmont. It was really bad. I was so lucky they got hold of Dr. Rodriguez and he did a superb job to put things together, and I am really grateful for his help and his talent. I can’t thank him enough. God bless him and bless his family.
Dr. Rodriguez is an all around nice guy and did wonders for me and my face. I was bit by a dog and didn’t know how it would look after and to my surprise he did an amazing job.
