Overview
About the procedure.
Chin augmentation strengthens a recessed or weak chin to bring the profile into balance with the nose and jawline, often with a marked effect on how the whole face reads.
It can be achieved with an implant or by repositioning the bone, and is frequently planned alongside rhinoplasty for overall facial harmony.
A little clarity
Good questions.
Honest answers.
There is no question too small to bring to your consultation.
Ask us a questionWill I meet Dr. Kirwan personally at my consultation?
Yes. Every patient is a VIP. From your first consultation through your last follow-up visit, you see Dr. Kirwan himself at every single appointment. He is available to you before, during, and after your procedure.
Where is surgery performed?
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation in Dr. Kirwan’s AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Norwalk, Connecticut. Patients whose medical history makes office-based surgery unsuitable are treated at Greenwich or Norwalk Hospital on a same-day, ambulatory basis.
How do I know whether I am a candidate?
Candidacy depends on your health, anatomy, and goals, not a specific age. The only way to know for certain is a one-on-one consultation, where your medical history and aesthetic goals are reviewed and the appropriate options are explained.
