FAQ
Who is an ideal candidate for Chin Implants?
Ideal candidates are individuals seeking to enhance the contours of their chin or correct a weak or recessed chin. Dr. Cristel evaluates each patient during a consultation to determine their suitability for the procedure.
How is the Chin Implant procedure performed?
Dr. Cristel performs Chin Implant surgery by making a small incision either beneath the chin or inside the mouth. He then carefully places the implant over the chin bone, creating a more defined and balanced profile.

Recovery is generally swift. Patients may experience some swelling and discomfort, which subsides within a week. Dr. Cristel provides post-operative care instructions to optimize healing.
