Chin Augmentation for Men
Male Chin Augmentation in Austin, TX, with Dr. Yula Indeyeva
The human brain has evolved to respond positively to facial symmetry. Our automatic, unconscious reactions have shaped our cultural understanding of attractiveness, leading us to perceive proportional faces as more aesthetically pleasing.
The position, shape, angle, and contour of your chin and jawline contribute significantly to the balance of all your facial features. Many men with weak or receding chins feel self-conscious about their appearance. Dr. Yula Indeyeva, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, uses her skill and expertise to resolve several concerns with chin augmentation in Austin.
What Can Chin Augmentation Surgery Do for You?
Chin augmentation, medically known as mentoplasty or genioplasty, entails placing a soft, natural-feeling implant along the jawbone. After creating a small incision hidden inside the mouth or under the chin, Dr. Indeyeva will use her knowledge of facial anatomy to sculpt the implant, blending it seamlessly with other features.
Male chin augmentation offers multiple benefits.
- Enhancing facial proportions: An implant can add balance to a naturally recessed or underdeveloped chin and jawline.
- Addressing age-related changes: As you get older, your chin can lose volume and definition, causing it to look recessed. A chin implant can counteract these issues.
- Improving your self-confidence: Enhancing your appearance can boost your self-esteem to new heights, even with a subtle correction.
- Accentuating your masculinity: You may choose chin augmentation to create a more masculine aesthetic with a stronger, more pronounced jawline, reducing or eliminating cosmetic challenges like a double chin.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Chin Enhancement Surgery?
A chin implant can correct a recessed, weak, or underdeveloped chin, enhancing your profile and aligning your facial features.
Many non-smokers in good physical and mental health with realistic expectations are excellent candidates for chin augmentation. Dr. Indeyeva may require routine screenings, such as blood tests, to ensure you are healthy enough to undergo surgery.
Though some men worry about overdone-looking results with cosmetic procedures, you can be confident about an outstanding outcome when you partner with a surgeon of Dr. Indeyeva’s caliber. Dr. Indeyeva combines her surgical expertise with a passion for restoring her patients’ sense of self. Additionally, her experience as a former rhinoplasty patient gives her insight into both sides of the surgeon-patient relationship. She understands the desire to be discreet about your choice to have plastic surgery and will work closely with you to preserve your uniqueness.

Recovering From Chin Augmentation
You’ll notice an immediate, permanent improvement to the appearance of your chin and jawline after this outpatient surgery. Minor discomfort, swelling, and bruising are typical; however, they should resolve within two weeks. You can reduce swelling by applying ice packs and sleeping on your back with your head elevated.
Dr. Indeyeva will provide detailed directions for your recovery, including the timing of your follow-up appointments and when to resume your usual workouts. While everyone recovers at a different rate, you will likely feel well enough to return to work after approximately one week if your job does not require heavy lifting or other strenuous exercise.
While you recover, avoid significant pressure or stress that could shift the implant out of place. The implant will continue settling into your jawbone for several months until it reaches its final resting position.
Male Chin Augmentation FAQs
Many people combine chin augmentation with other procedures to further improve their proportions. As a specialist who has chosen to dedicate her entire practice to facial procedures, Dr. Indeyeva will assess your facial anatomy to determine which solutions will produce the best outcome. For example, rhinoplasty can pair perfectly with chin implant surgery. You may also want to consider expertly performed neuromodulator injections to minimize signs of aging like crow’s feet and forehead furrows.
All surgical procedures carry potential risks. For example, a chin augmentation procedure can cause infection, implant displacement, or nerve damage. However, these are rare if you choose an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon and follow all post-surgical instructions thoroughly.
Dr. Indeyeva will place the incisions for this surgery inside your mouth or inconspicuously under your chin so the resulting scars will be unnoticeable.
Most people get a single chin implant that will last the rest of their lives. Your results will remain permanent while this implant remains in place. However, removal is an option if you change your mind about your enhanced appearance.
Most insurers do not pay for surgeries performed solely for cosmetic reasons. Check with your provider to ascertain what your policy covers.
You will notice an immediate improvement in your appearance after Dr. Indeyeva’s expertly performed male chin augmentation, renewing your self-confidence in every scenario. Since implants are not one-size-fits-all, Dr. Indeyeva will advise you on the best size for your concerns during your private consultation.
