Chin Augmentation & Genioplasty in Cincinnati

Facial beauty is a game of balance. Often, what a patient perceives as a "large nose" or "sagging neck" is actually caused by a recessed or "weak" chin. By bringing the chin into proper alignment with the rest of the face, Chin Augmentation can dramatically improve the profile, sharpen the jawline, and create a more proportional, youthful appearance. Dr. Shahryar Tork specializes in bespoke chin implants that integrate seamlessly with your natural bone structure.

The Profileplasty Philosophy

Dr. Tork often views the face as a whole rather than a collection of separate parts. This is why he frequently discusses Profileplasty—the combination of a Rhinoplasty and a Chin Implant. By increasing the projection of the chin, the nose appears smaller and the neck looks longer and more defined.

Custom Implant Selection: Size, Shape, and Material

No two jawlines are the same. Dr. Tork offers a curated selection of medical-grade silicone implants designed to mimic the feel of natural bone.

  • Anatomical Shaping: Dr. Tork chooses implants that wrap around the jawline, providing not just forward projection but also a lateral widening that defines the entire lower third of the face.

  • Stability: The implant is secured directly to the mandible, ensuring it becomes a permanent, non-shifting part of your anatomy.

The Surgical Technique: Hidden Incisions

Dr. Tork prioritizes discreet results. The chin implant is typically placed through one of two methods:

  1. Submental Incision: A tiny, 2-cm incision in the natural crease under the chin. This is Dr. Tork’s preferred method as it offers the highest precision and the scar is virtually invisible.

  2. Intraoral Incision: An incision made inside the mouth, between the lower lip and the gum, resulting in no external scarring.

Recovery: A Rapid Transformation

Chin augmentation is a high-impact, low-downtime procedure.

  • Days 1–3: You may experience a "tight" sensation and some swelling. A soft-food diet is usually recommended for the first few days.

  • Return to Routine: Most Cincinnati patients return to their professional and social lives within 5 to 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Once healed, the implant feels like your own natural bone. You will not be able to "feel" it moving or sitting on top of the jaw.

  • While fillers can provide a temporary boost, they must be repeated every 12–18 months. A chin implant is a permanent, one-time investment that provides a much crisper, more structural result.

  • Yes. By projecting the chin forward, it stretches the skin under the jawline, often making the neck appear significantly slimmer without liposuction.
