Strengthen a weak or receding chin to balance the profile and bring harmony to the entire face.
Chin Augmentation at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata — board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon — at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.
Chin augmentation strengthens a weak or recessed chin to bring balance to the profile and proportion to the entire face. A well-defined chin frames the jaw, supports the neck contour, and complements the nose — which is why it's often paired with rhinoplasty. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (Dr. Scottsdale®) augments the chin with a precisely sized implant, or fillers for a non-surgical option, for a natural, balanced result.
A solid silicone implant, sized and shaped to your anatomy, is placed over the chin bone through a small incision hidden under the chin or inside the mouth. The result is a stronger, more balanced profile and a better-defined jawline and neck.
For patients who prefer a non-surgical option or want to preview the change, dermal fillers can augment the chin temporarily. It's frequently combined with rhinoplasty for profile balance.
Anesthesia — Performed under local with sedation or general anesthesia in our accredited Scottsdale surgical suite.
Hidden incision — Placed under the chin or inside the mouth.
Implant placement — A precisely sized implant is positioned over the chin bone and secured.
Closure — Fine sutures close the incision discreetly.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.

Either in a natural crease under the chin or inside the mouth — both heal discreetly with no obvious scar.
The nose and chin together define the profile. Balancing both often produces a more harmonious result than addressing either alone.
Solid silicone chin implants have a long, well-established safety record and can remain in place indefinitely.
Consultations with Dr. Mata are private, unhurried, and typically last 45 to 60 minutes. Your first conversation sets the foundation for everything that follows.
