The : The incision for chin augmentation is done either inside the mouth or externally below the chin. With chin implants either approach can be used. With sliding genioplasty an internal incision must be placed. The external incision typically heals quite well and is not very noticeable. Your surgeon should be able to show you before and after photos of the scar in other patients to get a better sense of how it heals.

There : There are two general approaches to chin augmentation. Incisions can be placed intra-orally in the mouth or underneath the chin. They generally tend to be small (3/4"). In some instances fillers may achieve a temporay chin augmentation without any incision.

Chin Aug Scar: Chin augmentation involves very minimal scarring. If the incision is made below the chin, it will be done in a natural fold of the skin or in a manner that will make the scar inconspicuous. If the incision is made inside the mouth, no external scar will be visible at all. In any case, the scar will not be visible in typical social encounters. https://pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/procedures/fa.
