What to expect during your Chin Augmentation procedure
Dr. Mentz uses either a chin implant or fat grafting. For an implant, Dr. Mentz will make a small, inconspicuous incision beneath the chin or within the mouth. Dr. Mentz minimizes the appearance of scarring by making incisions in precise areas where they either won’t be visible or where they’ll blend into the skin well. During your chin augmentation, the incision is usually made inside the mouth.
For fat grafting to increase the volume in the chin area, Dr. Mentz will harvest fat from an area of the body where there is unwanted, excess fat. This fat will be cleansed and purified, then injected into the chin area precisely to provide volume.
