Do you believe that your chin is too small or large for the rest of your face? Not all of us have the genetics to have a chin or jaw line that we wish for. Did you know that there are multiple methods in modern facial plastic surgery to help the size and shape of your chin?

The appearance of the lips needs to be considered in conjunction with the impact of adjacent facial units – the nose, lips and neck. Surgically enhancing the position, size and shape of your chin creates real and visual changes to how your neck and nose appear, especially from side on.

Options that can be considered for lip enhancement include:-

•    Injections of dermal fillers to plump up the chin
•    Chin implants
•    Genioplasty – a surgical procedure designed to slide the chin bone forward

Dermal filler injections are performed at Norwest Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery under local anaesthesia by Sydney Plastic Surgeon, Dr Gavin Sandercoe.

Surgical options are usually performed in conjunction with another procedure, such as a facelift or nose surgery, so pricing is not included on our website as it varies widely. It is exceedingly rare for any of these procedures to attract funding from Medicare, or therefore, your health fund.

What does Dr Sandercoe offer?

An initial consultation with Sydney Plastic Surgeon Dr Gavin Sandercoe and his team will help you to understand what your individual circumstances are, and what your options are for enhancing your chin shape.

Dr Gavin Sandercoe is a fully qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon with training in different techniques of chin enhancement. Dr Sandercoe does not favour one particular technique – he will discuss your options and propose a technique that is matched to your needs. This will help you on the road to recovering with a great result!
