The chin and jaw line are frequently the first areas where facial aging occurs and chin augmentation provides for an easy, quick change. Patients are noticing the signs of aging in the chin and jaw at an earlier age, as they see themselves on video chat and online photo technology, fueling the demand for augmentation of the chin.

Because aging of the chin and jawline are frequently the first signs of aging, having additional support for loose skin of the lower face & neck will improve the appearance of these areas wether done as a stand alone procedure or if chin implant is placed at the time of a lower face and neck lift.

Some men and women are born with a weak, diminutive chin. This can not only result in weakness of the lower face but can also have a detrimental effect on the appearance of the neck.

By the time many women present for lower face and neck lift, they not infrequently have had jaw bone erosion and a dimunitive chin. Having insufficient bony support due to a weak chin makes laxity of the skin of the lower face & neck appear worse and difficult to treat without the additional volume a chin implant provides.

Having a weak chin doesn't provide for the proper support of the skin of the lower face and neck. It's almost like trying to place a large adult size shirt on a child size hanger!

The newer implants are different from the old implants in that the material used, silicone, is nonreactive and doesn't stimulate a foreign body reaction. The new implants are not shaped like a "button", the shape of the old implants but have "wings" that extend into the area of the lower jaw. This minimizes the appearance of jowling.

In addition to placement of a chin implant at the time of a lower face and neck lift, a chin implant can be combined with small cannula liposuction and or direct tightening of the platysma neck muscles, futher enhancing the neck and jawline!
