Transformative Benefits of Chin Implants
In a world where facial harmony and self-assurance reign, chin implants offer remarkable advantages. Dr. Steinbrech, a leading authority in New York, NY, presents a transformative solution to redefine your profile and boost your confidence.
Enhanced Facial Balance
Achieve proportional features, framing your face in perfect symmetry.
Confidence Boost
Elevate your self-esteem with a more defined and balanced appearance.
Youthful Rejuvenation
Turn back time with a rejuvenated profile, radiating youthful allure.
For some men and women, a weak or under-projected chin can throw off the balance between facial aesthetics, often causing self-consciousness and poor self-esteem. For people who need more volume and balance in this area, a chin implant is a great way to improve the overall appearance of the face and boost self-confidence.
Changes in the size and shape of the chin can often balance out the facial features and draw attention to the eyes. Dr. Douglas Steinbrech, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York, NY, performs customized chin implant procedures to help patients gain their ideal aesthetic. After a quick and easy recovery, patients look and feel better than ever.
Ideal Candidates for Chin Implants
Men and women who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their chins may be good candidates for a chin implant procedure. Generally, the procedure is reserved for patients who have no medical conditions that could possibly affect results. Patients who smoke are encouraged to stop doing so before and after their procedure, so they may see maximum results and reduce the risk for complications. The definitive way to determine candidacy is to attend a chin implant initial consultation with Dr. Steinbrech.

The Chin Implant Procedure
A chin implant with Dr. Steinbrech is an outpatient procedure. Typically, only local anesthesia is needed for this relatively simple surgery or the patient may have twilight sleep. The following steps are used to perform the procedure:
- A tiny incision is made under the chin. The incision is perfectly placed so very little blood is lost. This decreases post-operative swelling, bruising, and pain.
- If necessary, excess fat will be suctioned out prior to the implant placement. Liposuction contours the jawline and tightens the skin.
- Implant trials. Trial chin implants are placed on the chin. Small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes are available. The perfect size is selected based on the patient’s facial features and desired look.
- Implant placement. A permanent sterile implant is placed on the chin. Dissolvable sutures are used to secure the implant.
- Skin closure. Sutures are used to close the incision. Sutures are hardly noticeable and are taken out 1-2-weeks after the procedure.
The procedure is performed in 45-60-minutes. The patient is brought to the post-operative recovery time after the procedure. The patient returns home after they are completely alert and feeling well enough. Typically, it is best if a family member or friend is responsible for driving the patient home.
Recovery from Chin Implants
If possible, a family member or friend should stay with the patient for 24 hours after the procedure. Postoperative swelling, bruising, and pain are minimal. Ice and an over-the-counter pain medication quickly decrease symptoms, if they present. Total recovery time is very short. In 7-10-days, patients see Dr. Steinbrech for their first postoperative appointment. Stitches are taken out at this time. Patients are usually cleared to return to work and normal activities after the appointment.
The Chin Implant Results
Results are apparent immediately after the procedure. Chin size and shape are improved. Facial symmetry and harmony are enhanced. Results look very natural. Family members and friends notice that something has changed, but they may not know exactly what. Patients typically feel better about their appearance right away. A boost in self-confidence and self-esteem quickly occurs, even as post-operative swelling may be present in the first few weeks. Results last a lifetime.
The Chin Implant Cost
Dr. Steinbrech’s prices for a chin implant range from $5,000 to $7,000. Factors influencing cost include the procedure’s complexity and type of implant used, with additional charges for anesthesia, operating room facilities, and postoperative care. Combining the chin implant with other procedures like rhinoplasty can affect the overall cost. Dr. Steinbrech will provide an accurate estimate during your consultation. These prices apply to procedures performed in New York.
