Frequently asked questions
Chin augmentation can be performed using implants or injectable fillers. During your initial consultation at OS Head and Neck, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and facial anatomy to determine the most suitable option for you. We also explain the treatment in detail and give you the chance to ask any questions.
Implants
Made from biocompatible materials, implants are surgically inserted to permanently augment the chin. The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthetic and involves a small incision hidden discreetly beneath the chin or inside the mouth.
Injectable Fillers
High-quality dermal fillers can be used to subtly enhance the chin. This is a minimally invasive option offering immediate results, though top-up treatments may be required over time.
The incisions for chin augmentation are strategically placed to minimise scarring. Any remaining scars will likely fade over time.
Most patients experience some swelling and bruising after chin augmentation, which usually subsides within a week or two. You can typically return to work within a few days and resume most activities within a couple of weeks.
As with any surgery, chin augmentation carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, and asymmetry. During your consultation, our experienced surgeons will discuss these risks in detail with you.
There may be some temporary discomfort or swelling after the procedure, which could slightly impact speech and eating. However, this typically resolves within a few days to a week.

Chin implant results are considered permanent, with the implant remaining in place for many years, if not a lifetime.
