With surgical procedures like chin augmentation or chin enhancement surgery, the team at Janiga MDs can help by increasing or strengthening the prominence and definition of the chin, making the facial features more balanced and appealing. Dr. Timothy Janiga works with you to ensure your results are both masculine and proportional to your face.
Chin augmentation can be performed alone or in combination with other facial cosmetic surgery procedures, like neck liposuction or a neck lift. These treatments can further define the neck and chin area with skin tightening and fat removal.
Dr. Janiga is a specially trained facial plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of facial reconstruction procedures and offers two types of surgical chin augmentation for our male patients.
Chin augmentation with implants uses solid soft silicone implants to create a more defined chin and jawline. The implant size and shape are carefully chosen to fit comfortably and naturally over the patient’s chin bone.
Sliding genioplasty does not require implants. Instead, the patient’s own natural chin bone is moved forward to increase chin projection and create a stronger jawline. This is a complex surgical procedure that requires an experienced plastic surgeon with a stronger understanding of facial anatomy and experience with facial reconstruction.
Dr. Timothy Janiga is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience and countless patient success stories. His calm, expert, and meticulous approach has transformed the lives of both cosmetic and reconstruction patients, helping them feel good in their bodies. Dr. Janiga is an expert in all aspects of plastic surgery and specializes in cosmetic facial surgery, body contouring, and breast surgery.
Before chin augmentation surgery, patients will schedule a consultation with Dr. Janiga to discuss their surgical options in more detail. Dr. Janiga will assess the patient’s medical history, examine their chin, and ask about their desired look to create a customized treatment plan that will safely and effectively meet their needs. The best candidates are healthy adults, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their procedure. Before surgery, patients should abstain from alcohol, smoking, and blood-thinning medications and supplements. If you have blood-thinning medications prescribed by a doctor, please discuss with Dr. Janiga or your provider before discontinuing your prescription medication.
Dr. Janiga performs chin augmentation in his JCAHO-accredited surgery center in Reno using general anesthesia. For men who desire an implant, Dr. Janiga makes a small incision either inside the mouth or under the chin. This incision creates a pocket for the implant to be inserted in front of the chin bone and under the muscle. When chin augmentation is performed without an implant, an incision is usually made on the inside of the mouth along the lower gum, while another incision is made under the chin. The chin bone may then be moved forward to its new position, and surgical plates or wires may be needed to secure the new positioning of the bone.

Most men return to work within a week of chin surgery, but depending on your profession, you may need longer before returning to work. Strenuous exercise must be avoided for 2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are to be expected, and if you have external sutures, they are removed within seven days. Patients will be prescribed pain medication, given a compression garment, and advised to follow a liquid or soft diet for the first week and sleep with their head elevated.
Once fully recovered, you will notice a stronger and more pronounced jawline and chin, improved jawline appearance, a more defined neck, and improvement in facial symmetry. Full results are expected in eight to twelve weeks after swelling completely resolves, and these results are permanent.
