Introduction
A well-defined chin pulls everything together, bringing balance, symmetry, and structure to the entire face. But when the chin is recessed, too small, or just doesn’t quite match the rest of your features, it can throw everything off. That’s where chin augmentation at Aesthetic MdR in Marina del Rey comes in.
Chin augmentation is one of those subtle shifts that can make a huge difference. It enhances the jawline and facial harmony for a more sculpted, attractive look that still feels like you, only more refined.
Before + After
Chin augmentation is designed to enhance a small, weak, or recessed chin by placing a custom-formed implant. The surgical procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia. For the right patients, chin augmentation can:
Chin implants are typically composed of silicone and feel remarkably similar to natural bone. They are specially formed to fit each patient’s unique anatomy and can, as such, feature a variety of sizes and contours. During your initial consultation at our Marina del Rey office, Dr. Macias will help you select the chin implant shape and size that can deliver the most natural results.
*We use Vectra 3D cameras to capture dynamic images of your chin and jawline from multiple angles, process the images through specialized software, refine them according to your specified expectations, and display the results. You can even play around with the image to “try on” multiple chin implants and sizes until you find one that’s just right. Aesthetic MdR allows you to visualize and create the future results you want.
A chin augmentation doesn’t just boost your chin—it elevates your entire face. Some of the key benefits include:
Additionally, chin augmentation can make your face look more harmonious and well-proportioned when done correctly. Dr. Macias in Marina del Rey has a keen eye for what works and what doesn’t, and he utilizes his expertise to create results that appear effortless for all of his Los Angeles patients.

Your consultation is where it all begins. During this visit at Aesthetic MdR in Marina del Rey, Dr. Macias will closely examine your facial features, get to know your goals, and determine whether chin augmentation is the best option for you. He’ll also use Vectra 3D imaging to show you a preview of your potential results—because seeing really is believing.
Local to the Los Angeles area or traveling in? Either way, you’ll get a treatment plan that’s fully customized. Dr. Macias is refreshingly honest as well. If this procedure isn’t the right fit, he’ll let you know; but if it is, you can expect results that suit your face and your personality.
To begin your procedure, Dr. Macias will create an incision underneath the chin or hidden inside the mouth. He will then create a pocket and position the implant over the chin bone. From there, he will close the incisions with sutures and place bandages over the area to protect your implant as you heal. The entire operation takes about one hour to complete, and you will be free to return home immediately afterwards.
The recovery period for a chin augmentation is one week. You can expect minimal pain and swelling, as well as virtually no bruising. During the first two days, you may need to adopt a soft or liquid diet.
For approximately two weeks after the procedure, it is recommended that you sleep on your back to minimize the risk of interfering with the incisions. Most of our Marina del Rey patients can resume exercise and other vigorous activities three to four weeks after surgery.
In Marina del Rey and the greater Los Angeles area, the cost of chin augmentation with Dr. Macias at Aesthetic MdR usually begins at $7,000. That price includes everything—the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating room time, implant cost (if needed), post-op visits, and any required medical clearances.
Your final quote will depend on the specifics of your procedure, including whether it’s a standalone surgery or combined with something like neck liposuction or rhinoplasty. During your consultation, you’ll get a clear breakdown of what’s included and why, so you can confidently make an informed decision.
