Chin Implants
Jump To:
At our boutique practice in San Jose, chin implants (or chin augmentation) is a very common procedure. Facial plastic surgery using chin implants can be an attractive alternative to more extensive surgical procedures. Creating or restoring facial balance, creating a stronger appearance, or restoring a more youthful appearance with chin implants in San Jose is accomplished through facial plastic surgery with Dr. Chase Lay.
If you are considering chin augmentation in San Jose, San Francisco, or anywhere in the Bay Area, please request a consultation online, or give us a call today!
What Are Chin Implants?
Chin augmentation is among the most satisfying procedures for both Dr. Lay and his patients. Men or women who believe they have “weak” chins are often self-conscious about the impression other people have of their appearances. In some cases, women feel the chin is too square and would like something more refined and feminine to create a more oval face. Chin augmentation is rapidly becoming more popular because the changes can be dramatic, without seeming unnatural.
Although combining neck liposuction with chin implants is often an excellent way to contour the jawline and neck, even more, chin augmentation alone is sometimes the only procedure needed to create a balanced relationship between facial structures.
In a maturing face, chin enhancement restores the framework that supports and lifts the skin and tissues. Chin implants and chin augmentation can result in changes ranging from subtle to dramatic. In either case, virtually all patients take a little time to adjust to their new appearance.

Dr Lay is the only doctor that I trust. I came to him years ago, had a super fast recovery, and still now continue to fly to San Jose every year just to see Dr Lay. In a world full of indifferent doctors, Dr Lay stands out from the rest and is both honest and genuinely cares about his patients. He never upsells and only does the most natural work. You can trust your face in his hands!
A Quote From Dr. Chase Lay
“If you’ve got a full or short neck and are thinking about a facelift or neck lift, you might actually be better off with chin enhancement or a chin implant. Either procedure can provide the illusion of a longer neck and improve your profile with less downtime than a facelift or neck lift.”
The Chin Augmentation Process
An appropriate implant can redefine the jawline and give a pleasing height and projection to the chin. Dr. Lay makes a small incision either under the chin or inside the mouth between the lower lip and gum line.
Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance, the intra-oral route has a slightly higher risk of infection and a prolonged healing time compared to the incision under the chin. The incision under the chin takes 7 to 10 days to heal but is imperceptible once completely matured. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia.
Dr. Lay is a board-certified head, and neck, surgeon. During your consultation, he can assess your bone structure and recommend the best approach in your individual case.
