Chin Augmentation in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Chin augmentation improves the projection of a recessed chin, bringing the profile into balance. The change reads as jawline, not as “work.”
It is one of the most common companions to rhinoplasty — the nose and the chin set each other’s proportions. Whether one, the other, or both is a consultation conversation.
How it works
What happens in the operating room.
- You get light sleep medicine or full anesthesia — decided with you.
- A small incision hides in the crease under the chin, or inside the lower lip.
- A precise pocket is made directly on the bone, and a sized implant is set into it.
- The incision is closed with fine stitches. Surgery usually takes about an hour.
- You go home the same day.
The honest risk list — read it before your consult
Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.
- An implant that shifts and needs repositioning. A precise pocket protects against this.
- Temporary numbness of the lower lip or chin; lasting change is rare.
- Infection around an implant can mean removing it. This is uncommon.
- Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
- Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
- Scars. Every cut leaves a scar. Most fade over a year. Some stay raised or wide.
- Numb skin near the cuts. Feeling usually returns over months. Small areas can stay numb.
- Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
- Problems from anesthesia (the medicine that makes you sleep). These are rare in healthy people.
- Uneven results. The two sides of the body are never a perfect match.
- The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.

The arc
When to call, day or night
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department now — do not drive yourself, do not wait:
- Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing.
- Fainting, sudden confusion, or weakness on one side of the body.
- One leg swells, or one calf hurts more than the other.
- Blood soaks a bandage and does not slow down with gentle pressure.
Otherwise call 918-392-7900, day or night, if:
- You have a fever of 101.5°F (38.6°C) or higher.
- Redness spreads out from a cut, or you see pus.
- Your pain gets much worse instead of better.
