Chin Augmentation (Chin Implant)

The chin sets the balance of the entire profile. A chin that is recessed or small makes the nose look larger, the neck look fuller and the jawline weaker, and no amount of neck liposuction will fix a problem that starts with bone. Chin augmentation is a short operation with a lasting payoff: a stronger, more balanced profile that still looks completely natural.

Who Benefits From Chin Augmentation

• A recessed or “weak” chin that falls behind a line dropped from the lips
• A nose that looks too large for the face, where the real issue is chin projection
• A soft jaw-neck angle or early double chin that a stronger chin would correct
• Patients having rhinoplasty whose profile would be out of balance with the nose alone

How I Perform Chin Augmentation

I use a smooth silicone implant, chosen from a range of shapes and sizes to match your anatomy and goals, placed through a small incision hidden under the chin or inside the lower lip. The implant sits directly on the bone, feels like your own chin and can be removed or exchanged if your preferences ever change. The procedure takes under an hour. For patients with more significant bony deficiency, a sliding genioplasty, which moves the chin bone itself forward, is an alternative we can discuss.

Chin augmentation is very commonly combined with neck and chin liposuction, a neck lift or rhinoplasty, and the combination is often what produces the dramatic profile change patients are looking for.

Hear Me on Beauty and the Beasts

On Beauty and the Beasts I talk through how the nose, chin and neck relate to one another, and when a needle is enough versus when you need surgery.

What to Expect

Expect tightness, swelling and some numbness of the lower lip and chin for the first week; this resolves on its own. Most patients return to work in five to seven days and resume exercise at two weeks. The final contour is visible once swelling settles at about six weeks.

Dr. Sam is straightforward and knowledgeable.I  did my research and please go research about him before going for your first visit. I was at peace going through this journey because I knew I was in good hands He does not sell you a fantasy. He tells you what he can do and what he will not overdo.
He is not a “cosmetic clinic” doctor with a short course. He completed a long U.S. plastic-surgery residency, added a cosmetic fellowship, passed the plastic-surgery board.

I came in wanting an extended abdominoplasty, muscle repair, and VASER liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back. I also did bilateral breast augmentation with Motiva Ergonomix (small, mini profile, about 245–255 cc) and fat grafting to my hip dips.  He explained the plan clearly: tighten the separated muscle, take the extra skin, shape the waist and back, keep my natural butt, and only put a modest amount of fat in the dips so it would have a better chance to survive. He said he did not do too much fat on purpose. That honesty mattered to me.
Before surgery the office was organized. Medications were sent to my pharmacy with clear instructions — . They also recommended hyperbaric oxygen to help the fat grafts snd overall healing. He answered questions about implants vs fat in the breasts, sensation, and what was realistic at my size (5'9", about 205 lbs, size 12). He did not promise I would wake up a different person.
Surgery day was a long day, but the team knew the plan. Spend one night at hotel. Nurses were incredibly.  I was sore, tight, and tired, which he had already prepared me for. I still cannot stand fully straight, I have drains, I wear the binder and board, and I have numb patches on my belly and back. One side of my back is more sore and numb.  I went home the next day feeling ready for my healing journey.  Few days a little leak around the drain after using the bathroom happened. He and the staff treat that as expected if it is only a little. They took about 8 lbs of skin and fat. My scale went up to 207–208 from swelling. That scared me until I understood it was fluid, not failure.
I am only about a week and a half out, so this is not a final-result review. The waist is still swollen. The implants sit high. The hip fill looks full because of swelling plus the fat they placed. I know the real shape takes months. What I can say now is that he was direct, he did the operation we agreed on, and he did not push extra procedures I did not need.
If you want a doctor who talks straight, knows mommy-makeover surgery, and will keep a fat transfer conservative so it lasts, Dr. Sam is a good choice. I love his staffs This is the best gift I could give me. Love it .
Follow the clot shots, walk, and don’t judge the mirror in weeks.

I highly recommend Dr. Sam. I needed breast revision surgery because of capsular contracture, and two other doctors had declined to operate because of the condition and my age. Dr. Sam listened to my concerns and was confident he could help. He even showed me a breast simulation before surgery so I could see what the result might look like.

The surgery went smoothly. I had no bruising, and my incisions look excellent. I’m very happy with the results and with the care I received throughout the entire experience. Thank you, Dr. Sam!

Fantastic experience! Worth every penny!
From the front desk staff to the nurses I m talking about everyone in the practice they were absolutely amazing. They made me feel so comfortable and cared for from my initial consultation all the way through my surgery day and throughout my entire post-op experience.
One of the things I appreciated the most was how accessible and responsive they were. I could reach them by text whenever I had questions, even after surgery, and they were always there to help.
Dr. Jejurikar did a fantastic job on me! I absolutely love my results and feel like I look really good. I’m so happy I chose him for my procedure.
Thank you so much to the entire team for your care, support, and all those late-night texts and responses during my post-op recovery. You guys are truly the best!

I’ve been seeing Erika Goff for more than three years and cannot recommend her highly enough. She is an incredibly thoughtful and skilled aesthetic injector who takes the time to understand your individual goals and personalize her approach accordingly. Her work is conservative, natural, and absolutely gorgeous. I always leave feeling refreshed and confident while still looking like myself. Erika genuinely cares about her patients, and I trust her completely.

I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my brachioplasty! At my three-month follow-up, my surgeon told me that my scars look amazing, and I couldn’t agree more with how beautifully everything has healed.

This surgery has truly been life-changing for me. For the past five years, I wouldn’t wear short-sleeved or sleeveless clothing because I was so self-conscious about my arms. Now I’m wearing the clothes I want to wear and feeling confident and comfortable doing it. That feeling is incredibly freeing.

I am so happy I made the decision to have this surgery, and I am especially grateful to my surgeon for the beautiful results and the care throughout the entire process. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering a brachioplasty.

For me, this wasn’t just about changing the appearance of my arms—it gave me back a confidence and freedom I had been missing for years. I couldn’t be happier!

I had been thinking about getting breast implants for a long time, and I’m so happy I finally decided to do it. Choosing my surgeon was a very important decision for me, and his knowledge, experience, and professionalism immediately gave me confidence.

He was always extremely polite, patient, and knowledgeable, and I felt like I was in very good hands from the beginning. The entire process was so much easier than I expected, and I experienced almost no pain. I honestly couldn’t be happier with my results and my overall experience.

His entire team was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and reassuring, and they made me feel comfortable and never stressed throughout the whole process.

I’m incredibly happy that I chose him and his team. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering breast implants! 🤍

Finding the right plastic surgeon is not always easy, and I’m sharing my experience in hopes that it may help others making this very personal decision.

After losing weight, along with age and gravity, my once-full D breasts had become a deflated C. I wanted to restore my upper-pole fullness but really wanted to avoid a breast lift.

I had a consultation at a well-known surgery center and was told I needed a lift and there was no other option. My consultation with Dr. Jejurikar was completely different. Dr. J listened to exactly what I wanted and explained how he could achieve my goal without a lift.

The results exceeded my expectations. I achieved exactly the fullness and look I was hoping for without undergoing a lift.

Dr. J is meticulous, truly listens to his patients, and has an exceptional eye for proportion and aesthetics. He truly is a body artist.

This was my second surgery with Dr. J. He performed my tummy tuck 10 years ago, and I am still extremely happy with those results today.

His entire staff is professional, attentive, and welcoming. After two surgeries and 10 years of experience with Dr. J, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
