Testimonial

“After years of being unhappy with a small chin and having had previous consultations with both oral and plastic surgeons, I was thrilled the day I met Dr. Kulbersh. He listened to my concerns and shared his ideas on how to achieve an optimal, natural result. Just shy of 50, time and gravity had also played their hands on my facial features along with the small chin, so I elected to take care of a few other areas to maximize the results. One chin implant, mini-facelift, lower blepharoplasty and fat grafting later, I feel utterly refreshed (in addition to having a beautiful profile) and ready for another 50! The results have been so much more than I hoped for and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Kulbersh and his staff made sure I was well informed and very well taken care of every step of the way. He is an artist as well as a skilled surgeon. Thank you Dr. Kulbersh!”

It’s all about your face. When double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kulbersh has a consultation with a patient, his goal is to accentuate each person’s natural beauty.

He accomplishes this by bringing different areas of the face into proportion. One feature that is a frequent concern is the chin.

An aesthetically-pleasing chin is one that is not too big or too small for the face. A small or recessed chin can do the following:

  • Produce a weak jawline (particularly in men)
  • Create the appearance of a large nose
  • Amplify sagging skin on the jawline or neck

As a chin augmentation and chin implant surgeon in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Kulbersh helps his patients understand that the chin plays a critical role in improving the balance and the overall appearance of the face.

Dr. Kulbersh received Beverly Hills training in facial plastic surgery, and he has developed a well-trained eye for facial balance and symmetry, something other general plastic surgeons may not possess.

He uses his expertise to bring balance and harmony to the entire face, providing his patients with unparalleled results.

chin augmentation before and after results

Chin augmentation, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin and jawline with an implant or by moving the jawbone forward.

The area may be weak due to congenital deficiency, age-related bone absorption, or abnormal alignment of the teeth.

If the cause is bone absorption or congenital deficiency (the patient was born with a recessed chin), a chin implant or nonsurgical chin augmentation may be an option.

If patients have a misalignment of the teeth, orthodontics or oral surgery may need to be considered in addition to chin implants in Charlotte.

What are the different types of mentoplasty?

There are two different chin augmentation techniques Dr. Kulbersh might use, based on your specific needs and goals. The mentoplasty choices available in our Charlotte office are implants and nonsurgical fillers.

Chin Implants

There are several synthetic chin implant options, including silicone elastomers, ePTFE, and porous polyethylene.

All of these chin implant options are very malleable and porous, which allow the implant to be held in place by soft tissue, and grow into the existing bone while healing.

Dr. Kulbersh prefers to use silicone for chin implants as they can be easily customized to create the ideal shape.

Additionally, should the patient wish to have the procedure reversed in the future, silicone implants can be easily removed.

Dr. Kulbersh creates the incision in the natural crease of the chin to ensure visible scarring after the procedure is minimal.

Non-Surgical Augmentation

Some patients do not require surgery for improvement. Our Charlotte injectable dermal filler expert can use products like Restylane, Perlane, or Restylane, as well as a collagen stimulator such as Sculptra and Radiesse to add volume to the chin.

These injectables can even help reduce lines and wrinkles around the upper neck and jawline.

Additionally, our facial plastic surgeon can place fillers in your cheeks, temples, or nose to create a more balanced appearance.

After chin augmentation, you will be bruised and swollen for the first 5-7 days.

Many patients say the swelling during their chin surgery recovery resembles inflammation from wisdom teeth removal.

You will be able to return to work approximately five days after surgery.
