Chin correction: improvement of the contour

Chin correction: Your way to a harmonious profile

Ideally, viewed from the side, the forehead and chin should be aligned. In reality, however, the gap between desire and reality is often wide. With a so-called "receding chin," the front edge of the lower jaw is significantly receded. This often leads to an unbalanced profile. A tendency toward a double chin also impairs the overall aesthetic appearance of the lower half of the face. Many people desire a prominent, clearly defined chin area—a desire that can now be easily fulfilled medically.

What to do if you have a receding chin or double chin?

Both a receding chin and a double chin can be effectively treated with modern, often minimally invasive procedures. Complex surgical interventions on the jaw are not necessary in most cases.

• Injection lipolysis (fat removal injection): Ideal for reducing a slight double chin – low risk and without surgery.
• Liposuction: If there is more pronounced fatty tissue in the chin area, surgical liposuction may be advisable.
• Chin augmentation with fillers: The chin-jaw line (“jawline”) can be modeled specifically and gently with hyaluronic acid.
• Chin implant: If necessary, a silicone implant can be inserted through a small incision in the oral cavity – without visible scarring. This leads to a significant improvement in chin projection and shape.

Before the procedure, we conduct a detailed analysis of your individual chin situation, including photographic documentation. Based on this, we create a customized treatment plan.

Important for preparation:

• No blood thinning medication 14 days before surgery

We will inform you in detail about possible contraindications during our personal preliminary consultation.

Aftercare: Optimal support for healing

After the procedure, you will remain in our recovery room for approximately 2-3 hours for monitoring. After a final check-up, you can return home the same day. You will be provided with your surgeon's cell phone number so you can contact her directly at any time if you have any questions or complications.

Important information for the time after the operation:

• Compression bandage: Wear continuously for 4–7 days, do not remove
• Relieve pressure on the chin: Do not apply direct pressure to the chin area
• Erster Tag: Restricted bed rest with slightly elevated head recommended
• Check-up date: Two days after surgery in our practice
• Sport & physical exertion: Avoid for four weeks to keep blood pressure low and avoid complications
• Heavy chewing: Avoid for 2-3 weeks if possible

Social skills: Recovery usually takes about one week. The stitches in the mouth dissolve on their own, so removal is not necessary. During the first six months, we will conduct several follow-up visits to our practice to ensure optimal monitoring of the healing process.

Minimally invasive alternatives to chin correction

Surgery isn't always necessary. Aesthetic medicine offers effective, gentle alternatives:

• Hyaluronic filler for modeling
• Injection lipolysis for double chin reduction
• Thread lifting for tighter contours

During our consultation hours, we will advise you comprehensively and individually – together we will find the right procedure for your wishes and requirements.
