What Is Chin Augmentation?
A chin's lack of shape and size can often create an undefined profile. Mentoplasty (chin augmentation) is a popular cosmetic treatment that improves the look of the jawline and chin for individuals with a recessed chin or one they feel is too prominent. In Draper, UT, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas K. Howland offers a spectrum of chin enhancement solutions. For those dealing with an oversized chin, genioplasty is an option worth considering. Performed at Howland Plastic Surgery, this procedure involves sculpting and eliminating bone to scale down the size of your chin and jawline. Another technique that accentuates the chin is the insertion of an implant, which gives the face a more balanced look.
What Is the Surgical Technique for Chin Augmentation?
Anesthesia will be administered for either chin augmentation approach. An incision made beneath your chin will form a pocket to secure a chin implant properly, which may involve shaving some of the bone to make grooves to hold your implant in position. To resize or reshape the chin without implants, Dr. Howland will focus on modifying the chin bone itself by reshaping or removing excess bone to alter its structure to achieve the desired chin contour. Both of these procedures conclude with suturing and bandaging to promote recovery while keeping the visibility of any scars to a minimum.
What Are the Benefits of Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation at Howland Plastic Surgery provides subtle yet notable changes to the facial aesthetic yielding several wonderful perks, including:
- Improves the structure of the face
- Distracts from the reality of large cheeks and/or a double chin
- Promotes a sharper shape
- Adds to a weak or small chin
- Scars are mostly indistinguishable
- Can reduce the size of a very protruding, pointed profile
- Emphasizes the jawline
- Improvements are pleasant and lasting
Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.
AMAZING!!! I interviewed 4 Plastic Surgeons before I met with Dr Howland and the minute I met him I knew he was my Surgeon. Best decision I could have made. My body reacted poorly to my Surgery...nothing to do with Dr Howland. His whole Office jumped in. The Nurses are TOP NOTCH...Jenn my girl..Avery who came to the Hospital to assist with a procedure...and everyone else even if not mentioned by name. Melissa at the Front Desk is like a Girlfriend. They have the best formula for choosing a Team. The other Plastic Surgeons that came to help...and called to check up on me. Dr Howland is always available by cell phone. No matter where or what he is doing Despite what happened I LOVE my results..BETTER than I had dreamed...would go back here for anything else, and refer anyone I know here!!! You feel like Family here...not a Patient Thank You to Everyone Lorrie Tomac

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
