Does insurance cover the cost of chin augmentation?

Can chin augmentation be combined with other facial procedures?

Chin augmentation is often combined with other facial procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, including facial fillers, fat grafting, jawline contouring, neck and jawline liposuction, rhinoplasty, or facelift.

Since each client is different and requires various amounts of augmentation, the treatment is custom-tailored your needs and goals.

Are chin implants and chin fillers just for women?

Chin enhancement, whether surgical or non-surgical, is an extremely popular procedure for both men and women. Some men are concerned if it impacts their shaving, which it doesn’t except during the time of healing. For the first week, surgical dressing and sutures will need to be shaved around. After that, regular beard trimming and facial hygiene including shaving of facial hair may be resumed. For the first few weeks after surgery, caution is advised during shaving. Do not apply excessive pressure over the implant to avoid misplacement. Once cleared by Dr. Walker, men may resume their regular facial hair trimming with the usual pressure.
