Procedure

What is a Chin Implant?

A Chin Implant is designed to enhance facial harmony by improving the size, shape and projection of the chin. Even a subtle increase in chin definition can transform the balance of the face, strengthening the profile and creating greater proportion between the nose, lips and jawline. Performed exclusively by Dr Yannis Alexandrides, the aim is never simply to increase projection, but to create a chin that complements the rest of the face, producing results that look natural from every angle.

Expected Effects & Benefits

Improves chin projection and profile balance
Creates better jawline definition
Enhances harmony between the nose, lips and chin

Your Journey

Your Chin Implant Journey

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Yannis Alexandrides. He will take time to understand your concerns, medical history, lifestyle and desired result, alongside a detailed assessment of your chin projection, jawline, facial profile, symmetry and overall facial proportions.

This allows Dr Yannis Alexandrides to determine whether a Chin Implant is appropriate for you and create a personalised surgical plan designed to enhance chin definition and improve facial balance while maintaining a natural appearance that complements your individual features.

Ahead of surgery, you will have a comprehensive pre-operative assessment with our nursing team. This includes a review of your medical history, current medications, lifestyle and overall health, alongside any physical assessment or clinical tests required for your individual surgical plan.

Our team will explain what to expect before and after surgery, answer any questions and ensure you are appropriately prepared for your procedure and recovery.

Good nutrition, hydration and healthy lifestyle habits can help prepare your body for surgery and support the healing process. You will receive personalised guidance on diet, medications, exercise, smoking cessation where appropriate, and practical preparation before your procedure.

Every recommendation is tailored to your individual health, lifestyle and surgical plan to ensure your preparation is appropriate for you.

Preparing the skin and tissues forms an important part of our 360° approach. Ahead of your procedure, our team may recommend a personalised programme to optimise skin and tissue quality and prepare the treatment area for surgery.

Where appropriate, this may include LPG Endermologie®, ElixirMD Light Therapy, 111SKIN skincare or Dr Yannis Alexandrides’ Dramatic Healing Serum, selected according to your individual skin, tissues and surgical plan.

Our care continues well beyond your procedure. Following Chin Implant surgery, our clinical team will monitor your healing through scheduled reviews, with particular attention to swelling, the surgical site, implant position and your developing facial contours.

You will receive personalised guidance on caring for the surgical area, sleeping position, diet and activity during the early stages of recovery. Where appropriate, an IV drip or other post-operative support may also form part of your individual aftercare programme.

As your recovery progresses, Dr Yannis Alexandrides and our clinical team will review your chin position, facial symmetry, profile and overall balance at scheduled follow-up appointments.

Where appropriate, personalised scar care, ElixirMD Light Therapy, skincare or selected non-surgical treatments may be recommended to support skin quality, scar maturation and the long-term appearance of your result.

Procedure

How does a Chin Implant work?

A Chin Implant works by positioning a precisely selected anatomical implant directly over the chin bone through an incision placed inside the mouth, avoiding visible external scarring. The implant improves projection, contour and facial balance before being carefully secured in place. Every implant is selected according to your individual anatomy and desired outcome, ensuring the enhancement remains proportionate rather than exaggerated.

UNDERSTANDING CHIN PROJECTION:

A naturally weak or recessed chin can make the nose or jawline appear less balanced than they actually are.
Even small adjustments to chin projection can significantly influence overall facial proportions.
Careful implant selection ensures the enhancement complements rather than dominates the face.

WHY PROPORTION MATTERS:

The goal is never simply to increase projection, but to create a chin that complements the rest of the face.
Results are designed to look natural from every angle.

Dr Yannis’ reconstructive expertise allows him to assess the face as a whole when planning your implant.

Surgical Techniques & Technology

Your Journey

The 5-Step Process

Consultation

A comprehensive facial assessment with Dr Yannis Alexandrides to understand your concerns, evaluate your chin, profile and facial proportions, and create a personalised surgical plan.

1

Preparation

Pre-operative health assessment, medication review and personalised guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, skin and tissue preparation.

2

Surgery

Chin Implant surgery performed under TIVA Anaesthesia, with implant selection and placement tailored to your individual anatomy, facial proportions and desired result.

3

Recovery

Post-operative support and personalised activity guidance, with structured clinical reviews as swelling subsides and the implant and surrounding tissues begin to settle.

4

Long Term Care

Ongoing clinical review, personalised skin and scar care and selected treatments where appropriate to support skin quality and the long-term appearance of your result.

5

Your Journey

Recovery Timeline

1–2 Weeks

Initial swelling, bruising, tenderness and tightness around the chin progressively subside as the area begins to heal. Your surgical team will provide personalised guidance on sleeping position, diet, caring for the surgical area and everyday activity.

2–6 Weeks

Swelling continues to reduce and the chin and lower-face contours gradually become more defined. Everyday activity can progressively increase, with exercise reintroduced according to your recovery and the guidance of your surgical team.

6 Weeks–6 Months

The implant and surrounding tissues continue to settle, allowing the chin, jawline and facial profile to become increasingly refined and natural. Residual swelling progressively resolves throughout this period.

6–12 Months

The longer-term result becomes increasingly established as the tissues fully settle around the implant. The chin and lower face continue to mature, revealing a more established representation of your final facial proportions.

Long-Term Care

Once fully healed, a Chin Implant is designed to provide long-lasting enhancement of the chin and facial profile. Ongoing clinical review, a consistent skincare routine and selected treatments where appropriate can help support skin quality and the long-term appearance of your result.

Suitability & Safety

Am I suitable for a Chin Implant?

Ideal Candidate Profile

A Chin Implant may be suitable for patients who: – Have a naturally weak or recessed chin – Feel their chin lacks projection – Wish to improve their facial profile – Feel their nose appears larger because of a small chin – Desire greater jawline definition Patients with a weak or recessed chin often achieve excellent improvement; suitability is confirmed during a detailed facial analysis.

  I came to the 111 Harley Street for UltraClear laser treatment with Claudia Brand. She was absolutely incredible, talking me through the process and made me feel very safe. She was also brilliant throughout the process. I cannot wait to see my result! Thank you Claudia!

  Very Impressed With My Rhinoplasty I had been unhappy with the shape of my nose for years and finally decided to look into rhinoplasty. Choosing the right surgeon and clinic was extremely important to me, so I spent a lot of time researching before booking my consultation at 111 Harley St. The consultation was detailed and reassuring, and I appreciated the focus on achieving a result that suited my face rather than simply changing my nose. The whole process was handled professionally, from the initial consultation through to the follow-up appointments. My nose now looks much more balanced with the rest of my face, and the improvement is significant without looking artificial.

  I had my consultation with Anna and honestly couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She took the time to really listen to all of my concerns and went through everything with me in so much detail, including the different treatment options. I really appreciated how thorough and attentive she was, and the whole consultation felt very personal and tailored specifically to me rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I felt really comfortable and well looked after. I’m really happy with the experience and will definitely be coming back for my treatment. Thank you so much, Anna!

  A Wonderful Experience I decided to explore a Y Facelift after becoming increasingly unhappy with the loss of definition around my lower face. I was initially quite nervous about having facial surgery, so having a detailed consultation was really important to me. Everything was explained clearly and I felt comfortable asking lots of questions. I’m so pleased with the outcome my face looks fresher and more defined, but it still looks completely like me.

  The Best Decision I Made I had a facelift at 111 Harley Street. From my very first consultation, I felt completely comfortable and confident that I was in safe hands. The surgeon took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve and explained every stage of the process clearly, from the operation itself to the recovery and expected results. The care I received was outstanding from start to finish. Every member of the team was kind, professional, and incredibly supportive. They were always available to answer any questions, and I felt genuinely looked after throughout my entire journey. Now that I've fully recovered, I am absolutely delighted with the results. I look refreshed, younger, and far more confident, while still looking completely natural. The best compliment I've received is that people keep telling me I look really well without realising I've had surgery. It's exactly the subtle, natural result I was hoping for. Choosing 111 Harley Street was one of the best decisions I've made. The expertise, attention to detail, and exceptional aftercare exceeded all of my expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a facelift.

I had plastic surgery from doctor Ashvani in 2019 and he messed up my tummy completely. I lost all my sensation in my tummy area and after 7 years, I still regret of having tummy tuck with him. He stitched my whole tummy tuck area without leaving drainage after the operation. I ended up having this massive hole in my tummy area. I have the most horrible scars and I don’t wear bikini for not showing my belly button. You can see how bad his stitches are from the photo. Please do your research before you trust him so you don’t regret like I did. My friend had similar operation in Turkey and you would not even notice she had plastic surgery.my advice is  go to Turkey to have proper plastic surgery with surgeons who knows how do operate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my Chin Implant look natural?

Yes. Dr Yannis carefully selects the implant size and shape to complement your facial proportions, creating enhancement rather than exaggeration.

Will there be visible scars?

No. In most cases, the incision is placed inside the mouth, leaving no visible external scar.

Is a Chin Implant permanent?

Yes. Chin Implants are designed as a long-term solution for improving chin projection and facial balance.

When will I see my final result?

The change is visible immediately after surgery, although swelling initially masks the final definition. Most patients appreciate their final result after approximately three to four months.

Can a Chin Implant be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Chin Implant surgery is commonly combined with Rhinoplasty, Chin Liposuction or Facial Fat Transfer to create comprehensive facial harmony.

What are Chin Implants made from?

We use high-quality anatomical silicone implants specifically designed to sit naturally against the chin bone while providing stable, long-lasting enhancement.

Am I suitable for a Chin Implant?

Patients with a weak or recessed chin often achieve excellent improvement. During your consultation, Dr Yannis will determine whether a Chin Implant or an alternative surgical approach is most appropriate.

Why choose a facial reconstructive surgeon for Chin Implant surgery?
