You deserve a chin that complements your features. At Rosen Cosmetic in Doylestown, we offer chin augmentation to reshape weak or overly prominent chins, helping you achieve a more balanced, defined look. Schedule a consultation to learn how Dr. Rosen can enhance your profile.
An Enhancement to Your Profile
Mentoplasty, or chin surgery, is intended to reshape the chin with a special facial implant or alteration of the bone structure. Dr. Rosen may recommend chin surgery along with or instead of rhinoplasty, in order to achieve an optimal proportion of your facial features. During your consultation, Dr. Rosen will talk over your goals, and explore different ways to accomplish your results, and you’ll work together to come up with a treatment plan that unites you with the look of your dreams.
How Chin Augmentation Surgery Works
At Rosen Cosmetic, chin surgery typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia, often with light sedation to keep you comfortable. Dr. Rosen selects an implant that is precisely sized and shaped to suit your facial structure and enhance overall balance.
A small incision is made either inside the mouth along the lower lip or just beneath the chin, depending on your anatomy. Through this opening, a pocket is created over the front of the jawbone, and the implant is carefully positioned to achieve a natural, symmetrical appearance.
Once the implant is in place, your chin will be gently taped to minimize swelling and help stabilize the area during healing. If the incision was made externally, sutures are typically removed after about one week.
If you’re considering chin augmentation in Doylestown, this procedure offers a dependable, long-term solution for enhancing your facial definition. With Dr. Rosen’s precision and personalized approach, patients can expect results that appear balanced, natural, and tailored to their unique features.

Before & After
What to Expect During Recovery
Following chin surgery, it’s normal to experience some discomfort, tightness, and swelling in the chin and lower face for several days. These symptoms are part of the body’s natural healing process and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications. Some patients may also have temporary difficulty speaking or smiling comfortably immediately after surgery, especially if the incision was made inside the mouth.
Bruising around the chin and neck is common and typically fades within one to two weeks. Dr. Rosen will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions, including how to maintain proper dental hygiene, what types of foods to eat or avoid, and how to keep the surgical site clean and protected. He will also advise you on when it is safe to return to work, resume exercise, and engage in other daily activities. Most patients begin to see their new chin shape emerge as swelling gradually subsides, with final results becoming more visible over the weeks that follow.

Chin Augmentation FAQs
Is there any scarring after chin implant surgery?
Incisions are small and strategically placed either inside the mouth or under the chin. If placed externally, the scar is typically discreet and fades significantly over time with proper care.
Will a chin implant change the way I speak or smile?
Temporary tightness or stiffness in the lower face can occur during early recovery, which may mildly affect speech or facial expressions. These effects typically resolve as the tissue adjusts and swelling subsides.
Can chin implants be adjusted or removed?
Yes. If you’re dissatisfied with your results or experience complications, chin implants can be surgically removed or exchanged. Removal may involve careful evaluation, as long-term placement can sometimes affect the underlying bone.
What are the potential risks of chin augmentation?
As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, implant shifting, numbness or altered sensation in the lower lip, asymmetry, or scarring. Less commonly, nerve injury or dissatisfaction with cosmetic outcome may occur. Choosing an experienced provider reduces these risks.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
Although initial recovery varies, most patients can resume non-strenuous daily activities within 3–5 days. More vigorous exercise is usually postponed for 1–2 weeks to allow for proper settling and positioning of the implant.
