Improved Profile Balance and Facial Definition
Chin Augmentation is designed to improve chin projection, jawline definition, and overall facial balance through the placement of a customized chin implant.
A well-balanced chin plays an important role in overall facial harmony and profile aesthetics. In some patients, a smaller or recessed chin can make the nose appear more prominent or reduce definition between the face and neck.
At You Are Beautiful, chin augmentation is approached with precision and restraint to create natural-looking enhancement while maintaining facial balance and proportion.
A Personalized Surgical Approach
Every patient’s facial anatomy and profile balance are unique.
During your consultation, Dr. Jae Kim evaluates:
- Chin projection and shape
- Jawline definition
- Facial proportions and profile balance
- Neck contour
- Relationship between the nose, lips, and chin
This allows for a customized surgical plan designed to improve structural balance while preserving natural facial harmony.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, chin augmentation may sometimes be performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty to create more balanced facial proportions and overall profile harmony.
What Chin Augmentation Can Address
- Recessed or under-projected chin
- Weak jawline definition
- Facial profile imbalance
- Poor chin-to-neck definition
- Desire for improved lower facial contour
Procedure Snapshot
Starting Investment: Starting at $5,000
Procedure Setting: Performed in-office under local anesthesia. No additional anesthesia or facility fees are added to the procedure fee.

Surgical Technique
Chin augmentation is performed through a small incision placed discreetly beneath the chin.
A carefully selected implant is positioned to improve projection, contour, and profile balance while maintaining a natural appearance.
Sutures are typically removed approximately 5–7 days following surgery.
A Natural Approach to Results
The goal of chin augmentation is balanced enhancement—not an overprojected or artificial appearance.
Every treatment plan is designed to:
- Preserve facial harmony
- Improve profile balance
- Enhance jawline definition
- Create refined, natural-looking structure
At You Are Beautiful, chin augmentation is approached conservatively to support long-term facial balance and proportion.
Recovery and Healing
Most patients experience:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Mild tightness or tenderness
during the initial healing period.
Bruising typically resolves within approximately 7–10 days, while residual swelling may continue improving over several weeks.
Final contour refinement becomes more apparent as swelling fully settles.

Your consultation includes a detailed facial and profile evaluation, discussion of anatomy and goals, and a personalized surgical recommendation based on your facial structure and desired outcome.
