Chin implants
Face Clinic Spain is a specialised clinic in the design and placement of chin implants, offering fully personalised solutions to enhance facial aesthetics and improve overall functionality.
What is a chin implant?
A chin implant is a custom facial prosthesis designed to enhance projection, balance, and definition in the lower third of the face. Made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or medical-grade silicone, it integrates naturally and safely with the facial structure.
This treatment helps correct a receding chin, strengthen the jawline, and improve overall facial harmony, providing a stable and natural-looking result.
Thanks to advanced 3D technology, each chin implant at Face Clinic is individually designed according to the patient’s proportions and features, ensuring precision, symmetry, and long-lasting results.
Chin implants are used for both aesthetic purposes—to redefine the chin shape or enhance the facial profile—and reconstructive purposes in cases of asymmetry or volume loss. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed by our team of facial and maxillofacial surgery specialists.
If you are considering custom 3D chin implants, request a personalised consultation at Face Clinic.
Our medical team will provide tailored advice to offer a precise, safe solution perfectly suited to your facial structure.
Advantages and Benefits of Chin Implants at Face Clinic
- ● 100% personalised design: each chin implant is custom-made using 3D technology, ensuring a perfect anatomical fit and completely natural results.
- ● Facial balance and proportion: enhances chin definition, harmonises the facial profile, and strengthens the jawline for a more balanced and attractive appearance.
- ● Correction of a receding chin: ideal for those with a weak or under-projected chin, adding structure, firmness, and improved facial symmetry.
- ● Stable and long-lasting results: chin implants maintain their shape over time, requiring no maintenance or future adjustments.
- ● Safe and biocompatible materials: made from titanium or medical-grade silicone, they integrate naturally with the tissues without rejection or affecting facial expressions.
- ● Precise and minimally invasive procedure: the incisions are small and strategically placed, leaving no visible scars and involving minimal surgical risk.
- ● Advanced digital planning: with 3D facial scanning and simulation, the surgeon can preview the outcome and adapt it precisely to each patient’s proportions.
- ● Fast and comfortable recovery: the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and sedation, allowing patients to return to their normal routine within a few days.

At Face Clinic, each chin implant is digitally planned using 3D simulation technology, allowing patients to preview the final result before surgery and ensuring perfect facial harmony.
What problems does a chin implant correct?
A chin implant is recommended for patients who wish to improve facial harmony and proportions, whether for aesthetic or reconstructive reasons. Its placement helps to redefine the contour of the lower third of the face, providing greater balance and a more defined, natural appearance.
- ● Receding or under-projected chin: enhances the forward projection of the chin, balancing the facial profile. Similar to genioplasty, chin implants can increase chin projection, improving the profile and facial proportions.
- ● Facial asymmetry: corrects differences in volume between both sides of the face.
- ● Lack of definition in the lower third of the face: adds structure and firmness to the chin and neck area.
- ● Double chin or sagging under the chin: by improving chin projection, it tightens the jawline and reduces or eliminates a double chin, resulting in a more sculpted profile.
- ● Imbalance between chin, nose and lips: enhances proportions and harmonises overall facial features.
- ● Loss of volume or skin laxity: helps restore a younger and more defined appearance.
- ● Corrections after trauma or previous surgery: restores the natural shape and contour of the chin.
At Face Clinic, each chin implant is individually designed to suit the patient’s unique proportions, achieving precise, safe and natural-looking results.

How are chin implants designed at Face Clinic?
Dr. Riba explains in this video that the process begins with a 3D facial scan, from which an exact digital model of the chin is created.
Using this study, the medical team designs a fully customised implant with high-precision software, ensuring a perfect anatomical fit and a natural, harmonious result for every patient.
What is the procedure for placing a chin implant like?
The placement of a chin implant is a simple, minimally invasive surgery performed in the Face Clinic operating theatre under local anaesthesia and conscious sedation, ensuring the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure.
The intervention lasts approximately 60 to 90 minutes and does not require hospitalisation.
Incisions are made inside the mouth or, in some cases, beneath the chin in discreet areas, which helps avoid visible scarring.
Results are visible immediately, showing a more defined profile and better balance in the lower third of the face.
Recovery is quick, and patients can usually resume their normal activities within one to two weeks.

How much does a chin implant cost? Price and financing options
The cost of a chin implant can vary depending on several factors, such as the material used, the type of implant (standard or custom-made), and the anatomical characteristics of each patient.
In general, medical-grade silicone implants tend to be more affordable, while custom implants made of titanium or PEEK offer greater precision and durability.
Prices usually start from around €2,800 and may increase depending on the complexity of the case and the level of customisation required. In some patients, the procedure can be combined with other facial treatments — such as deep plane facelift or rhinoplasty in Spain — to achieve a more balanced and harmonious result.
That’s why at Face Clinic we always recommend a personalised consultation with our maxillofacial and facial aesthetic surgery team, to create a tailored treatment plan and provide an accurate quote based on your specific needs.
At Face Clinic, we offer flexible financing options tailored to each patient, so you can undergo your chin implant treatment with total comfort and confidence.

FAQs
Can a chin implant be rejected?
Rejection is extremely rare since materials like silicone, titanium and PEEK are biocompatible and integrate naturally with human tissue. Occasionally, minor complications such as infection or inflammation may occur, but can be managed with appropriate medical treatment.
Are chin implants common in women?
Yes. Many women choose chin implants to achieve a more defined yet natural facial profile. The implants are selected carefully to maintain softness and harmony with feminine features.
What is the recovery time after chin augmentation surgery?
Initial recovery takes about 1–2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising are normal. Most patients can return to daily activities shortly after, though residual swelling may take several weeks to fully resolve.
Can a chin implant reduce the appearance of a double chin?
Yes. By increasing chin projection, the implant tightens the jawline and can make the neck look slimmer. For more significant double-chin correction, additional procedures may be recommended.
