Chin augmentation with a chin implant is a procedure that helps patients from Ankeny and the Des Moines area, Ames, Davenport, and throughout Iowa achieve a more proportionate chin in addition to the rest of their face, particularly in profile. It is used to improve overall facial balance and appearance. Iowa facial plastic surgeon Dr. Cody Koch can help you achieve the facial contours you’ve always wanted.
Dr. Koch can help you achieve a more prominent chin with chin augmentation (mentoplasty). To learn more about chin augmentation or Dr. Koch, please request a consultation or call our office at (515) 277-5555. We look forward to meeting you to discuss how you can achieve your cosmetic desires.
About Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is one of the most satisfying procedures performed in facial plastic surgery. Dramatic improvements can be realized with only a small, subtle change, and patients are generally very gratified. The effect of chin augmentation on facial harmony is the reason chin augmentation is sometimes recommended with rhinoplasty, a facelift or facial liposuction.
Chin augmentation typically produces excellent results, including:
- A stronger chin and balanced profile
- Improved overall facial harmony
- Enhanced neck and jawline
Chin Augmentation Procedure
Chin implant surgery is a straightforward and proven procedure that Dr. Koch performs on its own or in combination with other facial procedures. During chin augmentation, a carefully sized, medical-grade implant is placed behind the chin muscles through a small incision under the chin. This moves the muscle and overlying skin of the chin forward.
Chin implant surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia in an accredited outpatient surgery center, and takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours to complete.
Meet Our Providers
At Koch & Carlisle, we have assembled a team of two highly skilled, board-certified plastic surgeons—one specializing in facial plastic surgery, and one performing breast enhancement and body contouring procedures. The result: exceptional plastic surgery results from head to toe for the West Des Moines, IA, area.
Recovery
After your chin implant surgery, Dr. Koch will place a bandage over the incision site, which will remain in place for a few days. Our chin augmentation patients can return home the day of their procedure, but must wait a few days to a week to resume everyday activities.
The nominal consultation fee covers an extensive, personal consultation with Dr. Koch. He will spend a great deal of time with you, discussing your goals, concerns, and physical and lifestyle considerations. He will listen intently to what you have to say, and together the two of you will develop the best approach to your treatment. Women and men who schedule their surgery at the time of consultation will have their consultation fee applied toward their procedure.
