Chin Implant Toronto
The lower third of the face contributes importantly to overall facial proportion and harmony. The chin is an intriguing area of the face because of its ability to influence the appearance of surrounding regions. For example, a small, recessed chin can make the nose look bigger than it actually is; similarly, a small chin can give the submental area (area under the chin) too much fullness and laxity. Dr. Alexander will perform some of the best chin augmentation Toronto has to offer along with rhinoplasty to create the appearance of a better-proportioned nose. Or, he will perform chin augmentation along with liposuction of the neck to produce a more refined jawline and neckline.
What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation, often achieved through the use of chin implants, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the chin's shape and balance with other facial features. These implants, typically made of biocompatible materials like silicone, are surgically inserted to create a more defined, proportionate chin.
When done by Dr. Alexander, the procedure can provide a more harmonious profile, correct weak or recessed chins, and improve overall facial aesthetics. Chin augmentation is a popular choice for individuals seeking to achieve a more balanced and attractive facial appearance through a relatively straightforward surgical intervention.

Chin Enhancement
Chin enhancement can be performed non-surgically with the use of non-permanent injectable fillers, which can last nine months to one year. In this procedure, Dr. Alexander pays extra special attention to the muscles and glands that contribute to the jawline, and he will employ neuromodulators (e.g. BOTOX Cosmetic®) and injectable fillers to provide the best overall aesthetic result for the chin and jawline. These results are essentially immediate, with minimal downtime and speedy recovery.
The Chin Augmentation Procedure
If you will be better served by a more permanent solution, Dr. Alexander will utilize his Toronto chin implant, which is carefully placed over the bone of the chin via a small, imperceptible incision under the jaw. For those who have excess skin and fat under the chin (the so-called "double-chin"), the combination of liposuction with a chin implant often provides the best combination therapy to create an elegant neckline.
Our Surgical chin augmentation in Toronto is performed under deep intravenous sedation at our fully certified outpatient surgical facility. The procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes.
Recovering from our Toronto chin implant surgery is fairly straightforward. The first week after treatment may present swelling, redness, and some discomfort, but these are short-lived. You will be provided with ample pain medications for maximum comfort, as well as prophylactic antibiotics. Sutures are removed 5-7 days after surgery. You can return to most regular activities after one week.
Taking the first step
If you are ready to learn more about out chin augmentation in Toronto, now is a great time to set up your confidential consultation in the privacy and comfort of Dr. Alexander’s Toronto office. During this initial session, he will examine your chin and overall facial anatomy. He will review your medical history and discuss your goals with you so you can work together to devise the best treatment plan for your needs. You may wish to provide some photographs or online images of your desired outcome. Dr. Alexander may also perform computer simulation using the advanced computer imaging system to provide you with a realistic view of how great you will look following the procedure.
A note on combining treatments: undergoing multiple procedures at once can both reduce costs and minimize downtime due to fewer incisions and only a single anesthesia. Dr. Alexander often opts to perform chin surgery in tandem with rhinoplasty, liposuction, facelift or neck lift, or non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures. These additional treatments can be discussed at length during your comprehensive consultation process.
