Gender-Affirming Procedures
Chin Augmentation in Bellevue, WA
Chin augmentation in Bellevue refines the chin to support feminization or masculinization goals.
Quick answer
Chin augmentation reshapes the chin to fit your gender-affirmation goals — softening and refining for feminization, or strengthening and projecting for masculinization — using an implant or a bony genioplasty with craniofacial precision.
The chin is a strong gender signal. For feminization, Dr. Day may narrow and soften the chin; for masculinization, he builds projection and width. He uses implants or repositions the natural bone depending on the change needed, drawing on his craniofacial expertise.
Chin augmentation is often combined with jaw contouring and other facial procedures within an individualized plan.
