Enhance facial harmony and achieve a balanced profile with advanced chin augmentation surgery performed by expert surgeons.
Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty or chin implant surgery, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the chin. A well-defined chin can dramatically improve facial balance, creating a more refined and symmetrical appearance.
At Wansiri Hospital, chin augmentation procedures are performed by highly trained surgeon specialists using modern surgical techniques and advanced medical technology. The goal is to create a chin shape that complements the patient’s facial structure while maintaining natural aesthetics.
🩺 What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the shape, size, or projection of the chin using specially designed implants or surgical reshaping of the chin bone.
This procedure is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:
✔️ A short or recessed chin
✔️ A round or poorly defined facial structure
✔️ A double chin caused by weak chin projection
✔️ A chin that blends into the neck
✔️ An unbalanced facial profile
Chin augmentation is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes approximately one hour. Because the surgery is minimally invasive and carefully planned, patients can usually return home the same day.
🩺 Types of Chin Augmentation Procedures
There are two primary surgical techniques used for chin augmentation at Wansiri Hospital. The choice of technique depends on the patient’s anatomy, aesthetic goals, and surgeon recommendation.
✔️External Chin Surgery
External chin surgery involves making a small incision beneath the chin to insert the implant.
During this technique, the surgeon carefully creates a pocket for the silicone implant and positions it to enhance the chin’s shape and projection. The incision is then closed with sutures, resulting in minimal visible scarring.
✔️ Internal Chin Surgery (Intraoral Technique)
The internal chin surgery technique places the incision inside the mouth, between the lower lip and gums.
This approach is often preferred by patients who want a completely scar-free external appearance. The surgeon inserts the silicone implant through the internal incision and carefully secures it in place.
🩺 Who is a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
✔️ Have a short or recessed chin
✔️ Feel your face looks round or lacks definition
✔️ Have a double chin caused by weak chin projection
✔️ Have a chin that blends into the neck
✔️ Want improved facial symmetry

✔️ Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Candidates should also understand that chin augmentation enhances facial balance rather than completely changing facial identity.
