The Chin Implant Procedure
Chin implant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to help you maintain optimal comfort. Your procedure will begin with Dr. Maffi making a small incision either under the chin or inside the mouth, and the implant will be carefully positioned over the chin bone. Dr. Maffi uses precise state-of-the-art techniques to ensure symmetry, stability, and natural-looking results. Patients must arrange for a caregiver to drive them to and from surgery. The procedure typically takes about one hour to complete. After surgery, you will be monitored and released to your caregiver, returning home the same day.
Recovery & Results for Chin Implants
Recovery
Mild swelling, tightness, and bruising are common in the days following surgery. Most patients are able to resume light activity within a few days and return to work in around a week. You will receive personalized aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing and recovery. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, we are committed to supporting your recovery.
Results
A chin implant creates a stronger jawline, improved facial symmetry, and a more defined profile. The results are long-lasting and designed to look completely natural. Most patients notice a permanent improvement in facial balance and proportion after undergoing chin augmentation.
“The facility is beautiful, and the staff are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. I would confidently recommend Dr. Maffi’s practice to anyone.”

Contact UsWhat is a Chin Implant?
A chin implant, or genioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that addresses the projection and shape of your chin using an implant. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, Dr. Terry Maffi customizes each chin augmentation to complement your natural bone structure and facial features. The implant is placed through a small, hidden incision and is designed to feel and look natural.
Candidates for Chin Implant Surgery
You may be a candidate for chin implant surgery if you have a weak or recessed chin, poor chin-neck definition, or facial asymmetry. Many patients seek chin augmentation surgery to improve facial balance or to enhance the results of rhinoplasty, facelift, or other facial procedures. During your consultation at Maffi Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Terry Maffi will assess your facial proportions and goals to design a customized treatment plan.
