Chin Augmentation (Fat Transfer)
Island Plastic Surgery offers Chin Augmentation to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
A weak or receding chin can set your facial features off-balance, causing you to feel unattractive and self-conscious. It can even make your nose appear larger and make an overbite look more pronounced. The chin augmentation surgery offered at Island Plastic Surgery in New York can be a very effective way to add shape and proportion to your chin. Our preferred technique is fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, which involves taking excess fat from one area of your body and moving it to your chin.
You can learn more about chin augmentation with fat transfer by contacting the staff at one of our convenient locations in Mineola or West Islip. We are excited to be able to provide this minimally invasive procedure to our patients in and around the Long Island area, including men and women from New Rochelle, Yonkers, West Islip, NY, and Greenwich, CT.
Am I a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
Most people who are interested in chin augmentation have a weak or abnormally small chin, medically known as microgenia. The causes of this condition include:
- heredity
- bone resorption
- disease
- injury
Our chin augmentation patients in Mineola and West Islip often combine the procedure with rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, for a more complete facial enhancement. Chin augmentation can also be used with cheek augmentation and lip augmentation for further overall improvement.

How is Chin Augmentation Performed?
Chin augmentation with fat transfer requires meticulous extraction of fat from other parts of your body, such as your abdomen, flanks, hips or thighs. After the fat is processed and purified, it will be safely injected into your chin area to create the size and shape you desire. Our chin augmentation patients in Mineola and West Islip do not have allergic reactions to the procedure because the fat is their own tissue.
The benefits of chin augmentation with fat transfer include its long-lasting, natural-looking results. The procedure can be ideal for people who want to avoid chin implant surgery, which is often more invasive and costlier.
What are Chin Augmentation Costs?
Patients have different ideas of what they want their chin to look like. For that reason, chin augmentation costs in New York depend on the extent of the operation and whether any other procedures are performed at the same time. You can gather more individualized information during a chin augmentation consultation with us in either Mineola or West Islip.
Island Plastic Surgery is proud to offer chin augmentation with fat transfer to patients throughout the Long Island region, including New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT. We are committed to providing the best care with the best results. To learn more about chin augmentation, please book a consultation with us today at our Mineola or West Islip office. You will be on your way to having the chin you've always wanted.
