Refine your profile with a chin implant in Montreal
What is a chin implant augmentation?
Chin implant cosmetic surgery is a type of chin augmentation in facial plastic surgery that improves the facial profile and balance. At Clinique Face MD in Montreal, Dr. Moubayed, a head and neck surgeon specializing in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, performs chin implant surgery by placing the implant on the chin bone in a subperiosteal pocket (deep to the mentalis muscle). This procedure enhances the chin and jawline, giving patients more facial harmony. Unlike temporary chin filler, silicone implants feel natural and are long-lasting.
The chin implant surgery can be reversed or removed if needed and has a low lifetime infection risk. With local anesthesia or general anesthesia, patients can undergo this minimally invasive surgery safely at the clinic.

Benefits of a chin implant facial surgery
Chin implant surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves placing an implant on the chin to enhance its size, shape, and projection.
Learn more
- Improved facial balance and harmony
A well-proportioned chin improves facial harmony. Strengthening the jawline corrects weak contours and creates a balanced profile that complements nearby features.
- Enhanced facial features
Added chin projection refines the look of features such as the nose and lips. It can also help patients with a double chin or recessed jawline achieve a more sculpted appearance.
- Increased self-confidence
Reshaping the chin and lower face can boost confidence and self-image, giving patients a stronger sense of identity.
- Reversibility
Chin implants can be removed or replaced if results are unsatisfactory or complications arise, offering flexibility.
- Minimally invasive
This implant surgery is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, with predictable outcomes and relatively fast recovery.
- Long-lasting results
Implants are made from durable materials, providing long-term results. Most patients enjoy permanent improvements without the need for additional reconstructive surgery.
Who is a good candidate for chin implant surgery in Montreal?
Chin implant surgery can benefit patients who want to improve their facial balance and jawline definition. The chin plays an important role in overall harmony, and issues such as a receding chin, bone loss, or a naturally small chin can affect facial aesthetics.

The different types of chin implants
Materials
Silicone Chin Implant
Silicone is the most common option for chin implants. Soft and flexible, it adapts easily to a patient’s facial features and provides a natural look, making it ideal for long-term chin augmentation.
Medpor Chin Implant
Medpor is a porous polyethylene used in plastic surgery procedures. Durable and stable over time, it keeps its shape but feels firmer than silicone, offering less natural softness.

Anatomic Chin Implants
These implants follow the natural shape of the chin and jawline, creating a more balanced appearance after surgery.
Extended Anatomic Chin Augmentations
Extended implants refine the chin and enhance jawline augmentation, giving more definition to the neck and lower face.
Square Chin Implants
Square implants add angular, masculine structure, reshaping the lower face and strengthening the jawline.
Button Chin Implants
Button implants are smaller, correcting a weak chin with subtle projection and creating a proportionate facial profile.
Shape and size variations
What surgical approach is used for chin augmentations?
Chin implants may be inserted through two main surgical approaches, each tailored to the patient’s anatomy and treatment goals.
Learn more
External Approach
- A short incision is created beneath the chin.
- This method can leave a small scar, though it usually becomes discreet with healing.
- Widely chosen by patients because it offers precise implant placement.
- Dr. Moubayed often recommends it when there is no history of problematic scarring.
- The implant is placed through a small external incision under the chin, which allows precise positioning and avoids oral contamination.
Intraoral Approach
- The incision is made inside the mouth for implant placement.
- This option avoids an external scar altogether.
- Often suggested for patients prone to visible scarring or keloids.
- While it prevents surface marks, it can slightly increase exposure to oral bacteria.
The decision between techniques depends on the patient’s medical history, preferences, and expected results. At Clinique Face MD, Dr. Moubayed carefully evaluates each case, balancing effectiveness with reduced downtime and minimal scars.

What are the most common risks associated with chin augmentation surgery?
Like any plastic surgery procedure, chin augmentation surgery, also referred to as genioplasty, carries potential risks. As with other cosmetic surgery procedures performed in Montreal, it’s important to understand both benefits and possible complications.
Learn more
Below are the most frequently observed risks with chin implant surgery:
- Infection: There is a risk of infection at the incision site, which may cause swelling, pain, or fluid buildup.
- Numbness: Chin implant surgery can temporarily or permanently reduce sensation in the chin or lower lip, affecting normal movement.
- Implant shifting: Chin implants may move from their original position, leading to asymmetry or discomfort.
- Implant rejection: Rarely, the body may reject the implant, resulting in swelling, infection, or signs of implant failure.
- Bleeding and hematoma: Internal bleeding can occur after implant surgery, sometimes causing swelling or discomfort.
- Scarring: As with many plastic surgery procedures, incisions may leave visible scars on or near the chin.
- Speech or eating difficulties: Post-operative swelling or numbness can temporarily affect functions such as chewing or speaking.
- Unsatisfactory results: In some cases, outcomes may not align with patient expectations, requiring revision surgery or other reconstructive surgery.
Discussing these risks with a qualified head and neck surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery is essential. Careful planning and follow-up help minimize risks and ensure optimal results.

How is the chin implant recovery?
Recovery after chin implant surgery depends on the patient and procedure. Most return to normal activities within a week, though swelling may last for weeks. Following post-operative instructions from the facial plastic surgeon supports smoother healing and better results.
Can I combine chin augmentation with another cosmetic surgery procedure?
Yes, it is possible to combine chin augmentation surgery with other cosmetic surgery procedures. Combining procedures can offer several benefits, including reduced cost and recovery time, and can also help to achieve a more comprehensive and harmonious improvement in facial appearance. Here are some other procedures you can pair chin implants with:
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
- One of the most frequent pairings.
- Balances the proportions of the nose and chin to improve the side profile (sometimes referred to as “profile balancing surgery”).
Facelift or Neck Lift
- Helps define the jawline and tighten sagging skin.
- Often paired with chin augmentation in patients seeking a more youthful lower face and neck contour.
Liposuction (Submental/Neck Area)
- Removes excess fat beneath the chin.
- Combined with a chin implant to create a more defined and sculpted neck-to-jaw transition.
Cheek Augmentation or Facial Fillers
- Enhances overall facial structure and symmetry.
- Complements the lower face augmentation for a more balanced facial aesthetic.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) or Brow Lift
- Although focused on the upper face, these procedures are sometimes combined in full facial rejuvenation plans.
