About Chin Augmentation
Chin Reshaping
It is amazing how a feature as seemingly insignificant as the chin can have such an impact on the overall look of the face. For one thing, a small chin can make the nose appear disproportionately large. With a chin implant in Southlake, we can correct this asymmetry.
Interestingly, a chin implant in Southlake may be what is needed rather than rhinoplasty (a nose job) to help bring facial features into balance. By enhancing a small chin, the face will look more symmetrical overall and often the nose will appear smaller.

Expert Care
Southlake Plastic Surgeons Dr. Mark Mason and Dr. Matt Novak are well-trained and board certified in all aspects of both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
Both surgeons now focus their practice on cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures of the breast, body, face, and nose. Their combined expertise and love for aesthetic surgery led them to study plastic and reconstructive surgery at leading medical institutions throughout the country.
The Procedure
Commonly a chin implant is made of silicone, although various materials may be used during a chin implant in Southlake. An incision is either made from inside the mouth leaving no visible scarring or just beneath the jawline where scarring will be minimal. The implant is placed and skin is sutured back together.
Downtime
Most of our patients who receive a chin implant in Southlake experience relatively little downtime and can resume a desk job and most regular daily activities about 7 days after surgery. You will need to sleep face up, with your head elevated to minimize swelling, and we may require you to eat a special diet after surgery for several days to protect your new implant.
