Balance Your Profile. Boost Your Confidence.
Do you feel like your chin is too small, too large, or lacking in definition? The shape and projection of the chin play a vital role in the harmony of your facial features. If you're self-conscious about a weak chin, asymmetry, or an undefined jawline, Chin Surgery (Genioplasty) at Lowe Plastic Surgery in Oklahoma City, OK, offers a highly effective solution for enhancing facial balance and boosting your confidence.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in creating natural-looking, proportional results that reflect your unique facial structure and personal goals.
What Is Chin Surgery?
Chin surgery, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a facial plastic surgery procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or augment the chin for improved facial balance. It can involve adding an implant, repositioning bone, or reducing excess bone or tissue, depending on the desired outcome.
At Lowe Plastic Surgery, we offer both chin augmentation (for a recessed or under-projected chin) and chin reduction (for a prominent or over-projected chin), tailoring every procedure to the individual’s facial anatomy.
What Chin Surgery Can Address
Chin surgery can dramatically improve the proportions of the lower face and jawline. It’s ideal for adults who are concerned about:
- A weak or recessed chin
- An overly prominent chin
- Poor definition between the chin and neck
- Facial imbalance when viewed in profile
- Asymmetry or structural irregularities in the chin
This procedure is often combined with rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, or facelift procedures for enhanced overall facial harmony.
Are You a Candidate for Chin Surgery?
You may be a great candidate for chin surgery if you:
- Are unhappy with the shape, size, or position of your chin
- Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
- Have realistic expectations about the results
- Want to improve facial balance and profile appearance
- Feel self-conscious in profile photos or video calls
During your consultation, Dr. Lowe will conduct a full facial analysis, listen to your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan that suits your goals and aesthetic preferences.

What to Expect: Procedure and Recovery
Procedure Details
Chin surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The approach depends on your needs:
- Chin augmentation: involves a small incision (often inside the mouth or under the chin) and placement of a biocompatible implant
- Chin reduction or reshaping: involves contouring the bone through precise surgical techniques
Recovery Timeline
- Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common for the first 1–2 weeks
- Sutures are usually removed within 7–10 days if external
- Most patients return to work and light activity within 7–10 days
- Final results become more visible as swelling subsides over several weeks
We’ll provide detailed post-operative care instructions and closely monitor your progress to ensure a smooth, safe recovery.
