ALTERNATIVES
For those seeking non-surgical options, consider:
Filler Injections: Temporarily enhance chin volume and projection with hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
While fillers offer a temporary solution, chin implant surgery provides a permanent enhancement for individuals seeking long-lasting results.
COMPLEMENTARY
Enhance your chin implant results with these complementary procedures:
Facelift: Tighten sagging skin and define the jawline for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.
Neck Lift: Address loose skin and excess fat under the chin for a more sculpted, refined look.
Combining a chin implant with complementary procedures ensures comprehensive, natural-looking results.
RESULTS
Chin implant surgery provides immediate, natural-looking results that improve over the healing period. The implant enhances the chin’s projection and definition, creating a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. Results are long-lasting, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
RECOVERY
Recovery from chin implant surgery is straightforward, but following aftercare instructions is key to optimal results:
First Few Days: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
1-2 Weeks: Most patients return to work and light activities after 7-10 days. Swelling will begin to subside, but avoid strenuous activities.
2-3 Months: The implant fully integrates with the surrounding tissue, and swelling resolves completely, revealing the final results.
Dr. Schwarcz and his team will provide follow-up care to monitor your healing process and ensure a smooth recovery.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Chin implant surgery is performed in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.
Here’s what to expect:
Before Surgery: Dr. Schwarcz will mark the treatment area, discuss the surgical plan, and review your desired outcomes.
During Surgery: A small incision is made either under the chin or inside the mouth. The implant is carefully placed and secured to achieve the desired contour. The incision is then closed with sutures.
After Surgery: You’ll spend time in the recovery area before being discharged with detailed aftercare instructions.
Dr. Schwarcz’s meticulous technique ensures precise, natural-looking results.
PLANNING
Proper planning is essential for a successful chin implant procedure. Key steps include:
Timing: Schedule your surgery at least 3-4 months before major events to allow for complete healing.
Medications: Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, and supplements like vitamin E for two weeks before surgery.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Stop smoking and limit alcohol intake to promote healing.
Support: Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you during the first 24 hours.
Dr. Schwarcz will provide personalized pre-operative instructions during your consultation to prepare you for surgery.

Have uncontrolled medical conditions or infections.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have unrealistic expectations about the outcome.
Are seeking a temporary solution or want to avoid surgery (consider fillers as an alternative).

Have a weak or recessed chin that affects facial harmony.

THE PROCEDURE
A chin implant is a biocompatible, medical-grade silicone implant designed to augment and enhance the chin's structure. The implant is custom-selected to match the patient’s facial anatomy and desired aesthetic goals. By placing the implant through a small incision, typically under the chin or inside the mouth, the procedure adds definition to the lower face, improving the jawline and overall facial symmetry.
Chin implant surgery is commonly performed to:
Correct a weak or recessed chin
Improve facial proportions and balance
Enhance the jawline and profile
Complement other facial surgeries, such as facelift or neck lift
The results are natural, harmonious, and long-lasting.
CHIN IMPLANTS
Chin implant surgery, or genioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the chin’s size, shape, and projection, creating a more balanced and proportionate facial profile. This transformative surgery can define the jawline, improve facial harmony, and address a weak or recessed chin. Exclusively performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite, chin implant surgery is a long-lasting solution for patients seeking natural-looking enhancements. Complementary procedures like a facelift or neck lift can further refine the overall appearance, while alternatives such as filler injections provide temporary, non-surgical results. If you’re considering a chin implant in NYC, Dr. Schwarcz’s expertise ensures a personalized and stunning outcome.
