Male Chin, Jaw, and Cheek Augmentation in NYC

The chin and jawline are integral to the shape and proportion of the male face. A small or weak chin and underdefined jawline can emphasize a large nose, create a face that looks unbalanced, or simply produce an overall appearance the patient is not comfortable with. The solution for men with less prominent lower-face structure is augmentation — using precisely sized implants to extend the underlying bone and create a more sculpted, masculine-looking lower face. This work is one of several procedures within male plastic surgery at Dr. Khosh’s Park Avenue practice in New York City.

The chin and jaw together create the architectural foundation of the male face — and the relationship between them determines facial proportion in ways no single feature can. Dr. Maurice Khosh’s published expertise on implant-based facial contouring informs every chin and jaw augmentation he performs. Author of a peer-reviewed reference on facial implant technique through eMedicine, he is dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), and a perennial Castle Connolly Top Doctor.

How Male Chin Augmentation Surgery Works

A weak or under-projected chin is one of the most common facial concerns men bring to a facial plastic surgeon. The procedure to address it is straightforward but precise. Dr. Khosh’s approach to male chin augmentation:

• Hidden Submental Incision: A small incision is made beneath the chin, where it is concealed within the natural creases and shadow of the lower face — virtually invisible once healed
• Precisely Sized Implant: A carefully sized chin implant — selected based on the patient’s individual anatomy and desired projection — is placed against the underlying jawbone where it becomes a permanent extension of the bone
• Local Anesthesia: The procedure is most often performed under local anesthesia with light sedation, with patients returning home the same day
• Natural Integration: Over weeks following the procedure, the surrounding tissue heals around the implant, producing a result that looks like the patient’s own bone rather than an obvious augmentation

How Male Jaw Augmentation Surgery Works

For men whose concerns extend beyond the chin to the full jawline, jaw augmentation produces a more pronounced, masculine lower-face contour. The technique differs from chin augmentation in incision placement and implant configuration:

• Hidden Intraoral Incisions: Incisions are made inside the back of the lower mouth on each side, leaving no external scarring
• Bilateral Jaw Implants: Custom-sized implants are placed along each side of the lower jaw, extending the natural mandibular angle and contour
• Symmetric Enhancement: Implants are carefully matched in size and positioning to produce balanced, symmetric jaw definition
• Combined With Chin Augmentation: Many male patients benefit from coordinated chin and jaw augmentation to create a comprehensively defined lower face

Male Cheek Augmentation for a Stronger Midface

The cheek bones form the structural foundation of the midface, providing depth and projection to all other facial features. For men, cheek augmentation can produce a more three-dimensional facial appearance and enhance the underlying masculine structure of the face. Cheek augmentation can also help reverse the signs of aging by replacing the volume lost beneath the eyes and across the midface as fat compartments thin with age. Dr. Khosh offers several approaches to male cheek augmentation:

• Cheek Implants: Permanent, precisely sized implants placed over the cheekbone for lasting structural augmentation
• Fat Transplantation: Using the patient’s own fat harvested from the abdomen or another donor site for natural, long-lasting volume restoration
• Injectable Filler: Temporary hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm Voluma XC, Restylane Lyft) for non-surgical refinement, fully reversible if adjustment is desired

“Male chin, jaw, and cheek augmentation is one of the few procedures where the difference between a subtle, natural-looking result and an obvious one is almost entirely about implant sizing. Going too large produces an exaggerated appearance that looks artificial; going too conservative produces no visible improvement. Choosing the right size for each individual patient — taking into account their bone structure, skin thickness, and overall facial proportion — is most of what determines whether the result looks like the patient’s own face, only better.” — Dr. Maurice Khosh

Implant Options for Male Facial Augmentation

Several implant materials are available, each with distinct characteristics. Dr. Khosh works with multiple implant types to match the right product to each patient’s anatomy and goals:

• Silicone Implants: A smooth, flexible material widely used for chin and jaw augmentation; can be removed if needed
• Medpor (Porous Polyethylene): A firmer material that allows surrounding tissue to grow into the implant for long-term integration
• Custom Implants: For patients with significant asymmetry or specific structural needs, custom-designed implants based on 3D facial imaging
• Combination Approaches: For comprehensive lower-face augmentation, chin and jaw implants can be performed in the same procedure for a unified, balanced result
