Enhance Your Facial Harmony

Feeling self-conscious about a recessed or weak chin can affect your confidence and overall facial balance. Chin augmentation offers a solution to enhance your facial harmony, providing a more defined and balanced appearance. At Fulcrum Aesthetics, Dr. David Hill’s and nurse practitioner Brittony Croasdell’s Chicago-based practice, we combine advanced techniques with personalized care to achieve exceptional, natural-looking results tailored to your unique facial structure.

What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the contour and projection of the chin, enhancing overall facial symmetry and balance. This procedure typically involves the placement of a biocompatible implant or, in some cases, fat grafting to add volume and shape to the chin area. By enhancing the chin’s prominence, chin augmentation can create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing facial profile, complementing other features such as the nose and jawline.

Chin Augmentation Recovery & Results

After chin augmentation, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These effects are normal and will gradually subside within the first few days to weeks. It’s important to follow our post-operative care instructions, which include keeping your head elevated, applying cold compresses, and avoiding strenuous activities. You may also need a soft diet to avoid irritating the incisions.

The initial results of chin augmentation will become noticeable as the swelling decreases. Your new chin contour will take shape within a few weeks, with full results typically visible in a few months. The enhancement will offer a more balanced and defined profile, contributing to an overall improved facial aesthetic.
