Contact UsWhat is Chin Augmentation?
Chin enhancement surgery (or chin augmentation) is a popular aesthetic treatment that recontours the chin and lower face for patients with a recessed chin or one they feel is overbearing. Often when a chin lacks shape and size, it can create a lack of profile definition. Chin augmentation can be performed to highlight your chin, but one of the most popular procedures is inserting an implant to build a stronger jawline and a more defined profile. In New Orleans, LA, plastic surgeon Dr. Mark W. Stalder performs several options to consider for your chin augmentation. Aside from implants, which are produced in a number of sizes and shapes, noninvasive augmentations, such as injectable fillers or KYBELLA®, can be used to add contour. For chins that are very large, genioplasty might be an option. This treatment at Stalder Plastic Surgery removes bone to reduce your chin and jaw to a more appealing size.
How Does Chin Augmentation Work?
During this procedure, general anesthesia will be administered or sedation by IV in some cases. The incision is made just under your chin. Through this incision, a surgical pocket is created to keep the implant device in place, which involves reducing some of the tissue, cartilage, and bone to create grooves to hold your implant in position. The implant is inserted through the incision and positioned over the bone, directly below your lower lip. In some cases, the incision can be created inside the lower lip where it meets your gumline. Both incision points help to conceal scars. Tiny stitches are used to connect and close the incisions, and your chin will be wrapped with bandages.
Chin augmentation surgery creates immediate attractive results. Even though swelling and bruising will be present following your surgery, this only lasts a short while. For the majority of patients, chin augmentation takes a couple of weeks of healing. Heavy exercise should not be performed within this recovery window. Chin augmentation surgery has historically high success rates, and by having it under the hands of a skilled surgeon, like Dr. Stalder, your outcome will be natural and proportionate.

About UsChin Augmentation FAQs
How much does chin augmentation cost?
We will provide an estimated cost for your chin augmentation during your initial consultation once we've finished developing your personalized surgical plan. The total price will depend on factors such as the size and type of chin implant you select, as well as surgical, facility, and anesthesia fees. While it's natural to consider cost, it's essential to focus on choosing a skilled and experienced surgical team you trust to deliver long-lasting, high-quality results. We offer various payment options and can provide information on low-interest financing to make your chin augmentation more affordable.
Will augmentation fix my double chin?
Chin augmentation is designed to enhance the shape and projection of the chin and jawline, but it may not directly address a double chin. If your primary concern is excess fat under the chin, neck liposuction might be a better option to remove fat from the submental area (the upper neck below the jawline). In some cases, neck liposuction alone can create a more defined jawline without the need for an implant. During your consultation, our team will review your options and recommend the best approach to meet your goals.
Can I combine other facial surgeries with chin augmentation?
Yes, many patients choose to combine chin augmentation with other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty or cheek implants, to achieve balanced and harmonious results. During your consultation, our team will help you determine which combination of treatments will best suit your needs and aesthetic goals. We understand that choosing the right procedures can be overwhelming, so we're here to guide you through the process and create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your vision.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion. The entire team at Stalder Plastic Surgery supported me every step of the way, offering unmatched care and dedication. Having lost my mother to breast cancer, I am hopeful that I will never have to hear those dreaded words, “you have breast cancer,” in my lifetime.

When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
