Chin Surgery in New Jersey
Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty/genioplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.
What is a Chin Surgery?
Chin surgery (also known as mentoplasty or chin augmentation) is a highly effective procedure we use to bring better balance to the lower face. If you feel your chin is “weak” or lacks definition, this surgery adds the necessary projection, usually through a small, carefully placed implant. The goal isn’t just to change your chin, but to make your entire profile—especially the relationship between your nose, chin, and jawline—look naturally proportionate.
Because no two faces are the same, Dr. Nicole Schrader takes a highly tailored approach to this surgery. She makes a small, discreet incision, often hidden just under the chin or inside the mouth, to adjust the underlying structure. By focusing closely on your natural anatomy, Dr. Schrader ensures the final result doesn’t look “done”—it simply leaves you with a stronger, more defined, and balanced version of your own face.
Chin Surgery Candidates
Chin augmentation in New Jersey is popular among men and women. Facial implants are for chin enlargement or advancement. The chin implant candidate has a recessed chin, pointed or squared chin, prominent nose, or fleshy neck.
Chin reduction is for those who would like their jaw and/or chin to appear less prominent, especially in profile. Individuals, who are not ideal candidates for chin reduction surgery, may benefit from facial liposuction to help redefine the contour of their profile

What Chin Augmentation Can Do For You
Chin augmentation is designed to create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing facial profile. By subtly reshaping the lower face, Dr. Schrader achieves natural-looking improvements that enhance your overall facial harmony without altering your fundamental appearance.
The primary results you can achieve include:
- A stronger, defined jawline: Adding projection to a "weak" or receding chin creates a crisper, more structured contour.
- Improved facial symmetry: Restoring the natural proportion between the upper, middle, and lower thirds of your face.
- Perfect profile balance: Creating a better visual relationship between the size of your nose and the projection of your chin.
- A refined neck contour: Enhancing the angle where the jawline meets the neck, which can visually minimize a double chin or make the neck appear more elongated.
