Chin augmentation is a beauty trend chosen by many celebrities to achieve a slender V-line face with a perfect profile. However, not everyone is suitable for this method. So what should customers know before deciding to "upgrade" their chin? Let's listen to Dr. Richard Huy's insights for the most accurate answers.
A short chin and obtuse chin angle not only affect aesthetic beauty but also diminish many people's self-confidence. Chin augmentation is the optimal solution to rectify these imperfections, helping customers achieve a graceful, harmonious V-line face. With modern methods of chin augmentation using artificial cartilage, the procedure is simple, safe, and offers quick recovery times. To ensure the best results, individuals should choose reputable cosmetic centers with experienced medical teams.
The chin augmentation method uses implant materials to enhance the projection of the chin.
Many customers are still unsure whether to choose chin augmentation or chin sliding. Both methods provide a perfect V-line chin, but they operate through completely different mechanisms. To help customers make an informed decision, Dr. Richard Huy will share ways to recognize and differentiate between these two methods.
Chin augmentation uses artificial cartilage that is FDA-certified for safety and approved by the Ministry of Health for circulation in Vietnam, helping to shape the chin as desired. In reputable facilities, the artificial cartilage is carefully selected to ensure high biocompatibility with the body. In contrast, Sliding Genioplasty utilizes the patient's own bone to create a harmonious and natural chin shape. This method is highly regarded for its safety and compatibility with the body.
In chin augmentation, the doctor meticulously sculpts the artificial cartilage piece to fit each face, creating a harmonious overall appearance. This piece of cartilage is then skillfully placed in the predetermined position to achieve the desired chin shape. For chin sliding, the doctor will accurately measure and draw proportions, then use surgical techniques to adjust the position of the chin bone, helping customers achieve their desired V-line chin.
Since chin augmentation only requires placing the implant material in the chin area, the duration is relatively short, about 30-45 minutes. In contrast, chin sliding requires meticulous surgical procedures such as cutting the bone and adjusting the position, resulting in a longer duration, typically between 90-120 minutes.
Chin augmentation is suitable for various cases, specifically:
- Short or recessed chin: When the chin is too short or recedes inward, the face appears unbalanced, looking shorter and fuller. Chin augmentation helps elongate and fill the chin, creating a more refined, V-line appearance.
- Asymmetrical chin: An asymmetrical chin due to congenital factors or injury can cause facial imbalance. Chin augmentation helps adjust the chin's position, bringing balance to the face.
- Imbalanced chin: A chin that is too small or too large compared to other facial proportions is another reason many people choose chin augmentation.
- Those wanting to improve profile angles: Chin augmentation can enhance the profile of the face, creating more harmonious and attractive contours.
- Individuals seeking a V-line face: For those desiring a refined, V-line face, chin augmentation is an effective solution.
People with short chins, receding chins, and disproportionate chins can choose chin augmentation.
Some advantages and disadvantages of chin augmentation method
Chin augmentation helps individuals achieve a V-line chin with golden proportions, creating balance and harmony with the entire face. With a variety of implant materials available, clients can customize the size and shape of their chin according to their preferences, resulting in a completely new appearance that matches their unique personality.
Moreover, the doctor will provide thorough consultations to select the most suitable implant material for each person, ensuring harmonious and natural aesthetic results. Notably, if the client is not fully satisfied with the result, adjusting the shape of the chin after augmentation is entirely feasible and simpler than with other methods. All incisions are made inside the mouth, ensuring high aesthetic standards.

Although chin augmentation offers many aesthetic benefits, it still carries some potential side effects, such as numbness and swelling in the treated area. However, these are normal reactions that will gradually subside over time. To ensure safety and effectiveness, customers must choose a reputable cosmetic facility with highly skilled surgeons. If the procedure is done at substandard facilities, clients could face dangerous complications such as infections, implant misalignment, or even rejection of the implant material by the body, which could seriously affect both health and appearance.
The chin augmentation process follows standardized medical steps, including:
Step 1: Consultation with a specialist
To create the most appropriate treatment plan, the doctor will thoroughly assess the current condition of the client’s face, identify specific imperfections to address, and discuss the client’s desired chin shape. Additionally, the doctor will explain the chin augmentation method in detail, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different implant materials, helping clients gain a better understanding of the procedure and make an informed decision.

Step 2: Health check, 3D simulation, and detailed consultation
Before performing chin augmentation surgery, a comprehensive health check is crucial. This ensures the client is in suitable health for a safe procedure, while also allowing the doctor to assess the overall health status, thus creating the most appropriate treatment plan. In addition, the process of measurements and 3D simulation helps the doctor precisely determine facial proportions, select the appropriate implant material, and design the perfect chin shape to meet each client's desires.
Step 3: Shaping the implant material according to the determined proportions
To achieve a perfect chin shape, the doctor must have both skillful hands and a keen aesthetic eye. The process of adjusting and shaping the implant material requires meticulous attention to detail to create smooth, natural lines that suit each face. Only when the implant is shaped precisely will the V-line chin truly be perfect and achieve the highest aesthetic effect.

Step 4: Local anesthesia in the chin area and performing the surgery
To ensure the highest level of aesthetics, the incision is made inside the mucous membrane of the mouth, about 2-3 cm from the lower lip. The doctor then creates a small space that fits perfectly with the size of the implant. Finally, the incision is closed with cosmetic stitches, allowing the wound to heal quickly and leave no visible scars. The entire procedure is done meticulously and skillfully to ensure absolute safety for the client.
After undergoing chin augmentation, it is important to pay attention to diet and daily activities to achieve the best results.
Post-operative nutrition plays a crucial role in the recovery process. To ensure that the new chin shape stabilizes and the wound heals quickly, you should prioritize soft, liquid foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as porridge, soup, and fruit. At the same time, avoid hard, chewy foods, spicy and hot dishes, alcoholic beverages, and other stimulants. Additionally, consuming foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit, is beneficial for the healing process.
Restricting certain foods to support the best recovery process
After chin augmentation surgery, you need to follow some post-operative care steps: wear a chin brace, apply ice for the first 2-3 days, and use warm compresses from the fourth day onwards to reduce swelling and dissolve bruising. Oral hygiene should be done gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and saline solution. Additionally, you should avoid intense physical activities and refrain from touching the chin area to ensure the wound heals quickly and the new chin shape remains stable.
Generally, after 7-10 days, the incision will heal, and the swelling will subside. However, for the chin to completely stabilize and achieve a natural appearance, it usually takes about 3 months. Additionally, the specific recovery time may vary depending on individual body conditions and post-operative care.
Yes, filler injections can be done after chin augmentation to further enhance facial features. However, to ensure safety and effectiveness, it is essential to choose a reputable aesthetic clinic with experienced specialists. Getting filler injections at less credible clinics could lead to unnecessary risks, so it's important to carefully consider your options before deciding.
Filler can be injected after chin augmentation
Both chin augmentation and filler injections have their own advantages and disadvantages. Filler injections provide quick results, are minimally invasive, and cost less, but the effects only last for a short time. On the other hand, chin augmentation offers long-lasting results, giving you a perfect V-line chin; however, it is more expensive and requires the surgeon to have a high level of expertise and skill. The choice between the two methods depends on individual needs and conditions.
Chin augmentation is considered a safe minor surgery with minimal invasiveness, as it only affects the mucous membrane inside the mouth and does not interfere with the facial bone structure. However, like any other cosmetic procedure, chin augmentation carries certain risks if not performed by a skilled surgeon at a reputable medical facility. To ensure safety, clients should choose licensed aesthetic clinics with substantial experience in this field.
Both men and women can undergo chin augmentation surgery to enhance their appearance. Although the surgical process is relatively similar, the surgeon will adjust the chin shape to fit each gender, helping to create a natural masculine or feminine aesthetic.
Chin augmentation method suitable for both men and women
