Chin Augmentation & Bichectomy
Chin augmentation enhances a recessed or weak chin and refines jawline and neck contour using custom-fit implants or fat grafting, often combined with rhinoplasty or neck liposuction for complete facial balance. Bichectomy (buccal fat removal) can complement this by slimming a rounder lower face for more defined cheek contours.

What This Procedure Can Address
- Improves lower facial balance
- Enhances a recessed or weak chin
- Refines jawline and neck contour
- Often combined with rhinoplasty or neck liposuction
- Custom-fit implants or fat grafting options
Technique & Recovery
Chin augmentation with an implant typically takes under an hour, placed through a small incision either inside the mouth or beneath the chin, while fat grafting adds a brief harvesting step from the abdomen or flanks. Swelling peaks around day 2 to 3 and firm chewing foods are avoided for about a week if the intraoral approach is used. Bichectomy, when combined, is performed through the same anesthesia and recovers on a similar timeline.
