Regenerative Chin Augmentation
Regenerative chin augmentation at Image Regenerative Clinic in Milan is an advanced aesthetic procedure designed to enhance the chin profile and improve overall facial proportions in a natural, personalized way. Depending on the patient's needs, we use complementary techniques, including Lipogems®, a treatment with the patient's own fat to correct asymmetries and receding chins, and custom anatomical implants, shaped to the facial structure and reserved for more structured chin augmentation cases. Our approach combines aesthetic vision with maxillofacial expertise, aiming for a natural, harmonious result that always respects the individual identity of each patient. The procedure is performed at our Milan clinic, after a surgical consultation in which the surgeon analyzes your facial proportions and recommends the most suitable technique.

"Optimal facial profile surgery is achieved through the synergy of bone surgery and stem cell lipofilling. This combination allows us to prescribe the use of prostheses only for rare indications."

About the Treatment
Our Approach
We offer three main techniques:
- Bone surgery (bone reshaping)
- Implants (reserved for specific cases)
- Lipogems® (for suitable candidates)
Bone surgery is indicated for significant reshaping of the chin and jaw structure, custom implants offer precise projection in selected cases, and Lipogems is the regenerative option for natural volume increases and asymmetry correction. We often combine these techniques when a single approach is not enough.
Chin Implant, Fat Transfer or Genioplasty: Comparing the Options
Technique | Indicated for | How it works |
Lipogems® (chin fat transfer) | Mildly receding chin, asymmetry, natural volume increase | Micro-grafts of the patient's own fat, harvested and processed with mechanical forces only |
Custom anatomical chin implant | More structured chin augmentation, selected cases | Implant shaped to the facial structure |
Bone surgery (genioplasty) | Significant reshaping of the chin and jaw structure | Reshaping of the bone |
Dermal fillers (non-surgical) | Small corrections, for those who do not want surgery | Outpatient injections, with a temporary effect |
Three-Dimensional Analysis and Personalized Planning
Every chin augmentation begins with thorough facial proportion analysis using advanced imaging technologies. We evaluate the cervico-mental angle, chin projection relative to the nasal profile, and overall harmony of the lower facial third. This three-dimensional analysis allows us to plan precisely the volume and shape suited to each patient, also considering the dynamic interaction between soft tissues and underlying bone structure.
Multiple Techniques for Optimal Results
Our expertise allows us to use three distinct approaches based on specific patient needs. Bone surgery is indicated for significant mandibular structure remodeling, custom implants offer precise projection for selected cases, while the Lipogems technique represents the ideal regenerative solution for natural volumetric increases and asymmetry corrections. We often combine these techniques to achieve superior results that wouldn't be possible with a single approach.
Specific Considerations for the Chin Area
The chin presents unique anatomical characteristics requiring specialized competencies. The skin in this area is particularly thick and adherent, while surrounding musculature directly influences facial expression. Our regenerative technique accounts for these factors, using strategically positioned micro-grafts of adipose tissue to distribute volume evenly and preserve natural tissue mobility. Particular attention is paid to preserving sensitivity and preventing asymmetries.
Recovery Specifics for Chin Augmentation
Post-operative recovery for chin augmentation has unique characteristics compared to other facial procedures. Patients typically experience moderate swelling concentrated in the lower facial region, which may temporarily affect speech and eating patterns. We provide specialized post-operative care including lymphatic drainage massage techniques specific to the mental region and customized compression garments that support healing while maintaining comfort. Most patients can return to desk work within 3-4 days, though avoiding strenuous physical activity for 2 weeks is recommended to prevent displacement of grafted tissue.
Chin Augmentation Procedure and Recovery
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, lasting 30-60 minutes. Patients may stay in the clinic for 2-4 hours, depending on individual recovery needs. Post-operative care includes lymphatic drainage massage, with the first follow-up visit scheduled for the next day.

Like any surgery, chin augmentation carries risks, such as bruising, infection, asymmetry or temporary changes in sensation: the surgeon explains them during the consultation, based on the chosen technique.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I return to social activities after chin augmentation?
You can usually return to social activities 7 to 15 days after the procedure.
How long does the chin augmentation procedure take?
The chin augmentation procedure typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
Is chin augmentation suitable for all ages?
Chin augmentation is recommended for individuals 18 years and older.
How much does chin augmentation cost?
It depends on the technique (Lipogems®, implant or bone surgery), on whether techniques are combined and on the complexity of the case: you receive a personalized quote after your consultation at our Milan clinic.
Do I need a chin implant?
Not necessarily. In our experience, combining bone surgery and lipofilling allows implants to be reserved for a few indications. The choice depends on your anatomy and is made at the consultation.
Chin filler or chin augmentation surgery?
Chin filler is a non-surgical treatment with a temporary effect, suitable for small corrections. Chin augmentation works structurally on the profile: Lipogems® uses your own tissue, while implants or bone surgery also correct more marked disproportions. The right option is assessed at the consultation.
What is chin fat transfer?
It is chin augmentation with the patient's own fat: at our clinic it is performed with Lipogems® technology, which processes the fat with mechanical forces only and places it as micro-grafts to add volume and correct asymmetries.
