Chin augmentation is not one-template for everyone. Many men in Mumbai ask for a sharper, stronger jawline, while many women want a slimmer, more refined lower face—yet both want natural results, not an “operated” look.
Modern studies show that male chins and lower thirds tend to be broader and more dominant, while female lower faces are generally softer and slightly shorter, which influences what looks naturally attractive in each sex. (ScienceDirect)
This article explains how I plan chin augmentation differently for men and women at Allure Medspa, while following the same safety and ethics for both.

How are male and female chins and jawlines different by nature?
Male chins usually appear wider, squarer, and more projected, with a stronger mandibular angle. Female chins tend to be narrower, slightly shorter, and more tapered, with smoother jawline transitions. (ScienceDirect)
Key natural differences:
1. Men
- Broader jaw and chin width
- Squarer gonial angle (back jaw corner)
- Slightly larger lower third of the face
2. Women
- More tapered chin, softer jawline
- Less prominent angles
- Lower third proportioned for delicacy, not dominance
When planning Chin Augmentation in Mumbai, we respect these baseline differences so a man doesn’t end up with an overly “delicate” chin and a woman doesn’t get an overly “masculine” jaw—unless that is explicitly their gender-affirming goal.
What do most men want from chin augmentation?
Most men who come to Allure Medspa want a stronger, more decisive lower face—without looking fake or “plastic”.
Common male goals:
- Stronger chin projection in profile
- Sharper, more angular jawline
- Reduction in “double-chin” illusion from weak bone + neck fat
- A more “authoritative” appearance in photos and professional settings
Typical tools for male patients:
- Chin implants for straightforward forward projection
- Sliding genioplasty if vertical length or asymmetry also needs correction
- Neck or jawline liposuction if fat is blurring the bone definition
For structural planning and outcome predictability, bone-based procedures like sliding genioplasty have shown high satisfaction rates and durable results in long-term studies. (PubMed)
What do most women want from chin augmentation?
Most women want a more defined yet still feminine lower face—subtle refinement rather than a “hero jaw”.
Common female goals:
- Slight chin projection to balance the nose
- Smoother transition from chin to neck
- Better definition in selfies without looking harsh
- Sometimes correction of mild asymmetry
Typical tools for female patients:
- Conservative chin implants with careful sizing
- Hyaluronic acid fillers for a reversible, softer trial
- Fat grafting for a gentle, blended improvement
- Occasional sliding genioplasty for structural issues, but with restrained movements
Because female chins naturally occupy a smaller proportion of the lower face than in men, over-correction easily looks “masculinised”.
We deliberately undercorrect slightly rather than overbuild in most female cases.
Are the techniques (implant, genioplasty, fillers) different between men and women?
The tools are the same, but the design and degree are different.
1. Chin implants
- Men: broader, sometimes more square shaping; more forward projection
- Women: narrower, tapered implants; controlled projection to avoid bulk
2. Sliding genioplasty
- Men: may involve more horizontal and vertical advancement for a powerful chin
- Women: smaller, subtle bone movements, often focusing on symmetry and balance
3. Fillers / fat grafting
- Men: used carefully to avoid a “puffy” look; more along bone contours
- Women: excellent for soft refinement and blending, especially in the pre-jowl area
Evidence from genioplasty literature shows that correctly planned bone movements can significantly improve facial balance with low poor-outcome rates when done by experienced surgeons.

How do aesthetic “ideals” differ—strong vs soft, square vs tapered?
Male and female aesthetic “ideals” differ mainly in degree, not in the basic principle of harmony.
1. Men
- Target: strong, square, well-projected chin and jaw
- Goal: presence, authority, more angular shape
2. Women
- Target: refined, slightly pointed or oval chin
- Goal: elegance, softness, balanced lower third
Studies on male facial aesthetics note that men often seek features associated with confidence and strength, but still fear an unnatural or overdone look.
In my practice, whether male or female, I always start from your own facial proportions, not celebrity photos, and design what will age well on your face.
Is chin augmentation equally safe for men and women?
Yes. The safety principles are identical for both sexes: proper assessment, appropriate technique, and a qualified surgical environment.
Key safety points for everyone:
- Detailed medical and facial evaluation
- Correct indication: fillers vs implant vs genioplasty
- Operating in a well-equipped, accredited facility
- Using quality implants and sterile technique
- Honest discussion of risks like infection, implant shift, temporary numbness, or dissatisfaction
Recent reviews of facial skeletal implants highlight that with correct material choice and technique, complication rates remain low, and most issues are avoidable or correctable.

How do we keep male results masculine and female results feminine at Allure Medspa?
We follow a structured planning protocol for every patient:
1. Full-face evaluation
- Facial thirds
- Nose–lips–chin relationship
- Jawline and neck fat/skin status
2. Gender-sensitive design
- Men: slightly wider, more angular, stronger chin—but still natural
- Women: more tapered, controlled projection, preserving softness
3. Technique selection
- Non-surgical (fillers/fat) for mild changes or trials
- Implants/genioplasty when bone is clearly deficient
4. Evidence-based safety
- Following frameworks similar to what is described in genioplasty and facial aesthetic literature (NCBI / PubMed)
5. Clear communication
- We show realistic examples from Chin Augmentation Before & After Results, explain limitations, and avoid over-promising.
Whether you are a man wanting a crisper jaw or a woman wanting subtle refinement, the goal is the same:
“A better version of you, not a different person.”
FAQs – Chin augmentation for men vs women
Q1. Will a “male-style” chin implant make a woman look too masculine?
Ans. If we use male sizing on a female face, yes—but we don’t. Implant shape and degree are customised to your sex, face shape, and goals.
Q2. Can a man still look natural after chin augmentation, or will it look obviously ‘done’?
Ans. Yes, he can look natural. With correct sizing and angles, most people just notice a more defined jaw—not surgery.
Q3. Are fillers enough for a man, or do most eventually need surgery?
Ans. For mild issues, fillers may be enough. For clearly weak bone, fillers become expensive and less effective over time; surgery is more logical.
Q4. Do women need different recovery protocols than men?
Ans. The medical recovery steps are the same. The difference is usually in work, social, and makeup planning, which we tailor individually.
Q5. What if my facial style doesn’t match typical male/female ideals (e.g., softer male, sharper female)?
Ans. That’s fine. We plan according to your identity and preferences, not stereotypes—while still respecting anatomical safety.
For a personalised, gender-sensitive chin assessment, the next step is a detailed consultation with Dr. Milan Doshi in Mumbai.
Conclusion: One Procedure, Two Designs—Always Personalised
Chin augmentation is never about applying a “male formula” or a “female formula.” It is about understanding your natural anatomy, facial proportions, and personal goals—and then designing the chin to suit you.
While men and women tend to have different baseline structures and aesthetic preferences:
- Men usually benefit from stronger, wider, more angular support
- Women usually benefit from softer, tapered, more refined contours
…the guiding principle remains the same for both: balance, harmony, and longevity.
In Dr. Milan Doshi’s practice, planning goes far beyond choosing an implant or a technique. It involves:
- Studying your full face, not just the chin
- Respecting your age, ethnicity, and identity
- Avoiding over-correction and trend-driven designs
- Prioritising results that will still look good years later
Whether you want a powerful, confident jawline or subtle, feminine refinement, the aim is never to change who you are.
It is to enhance what already suits you.
If you are considering chin augmentation, a personalised, gender-sensitive consultation is the safest way to understand what approach will give you natural, lasting confidence—without looking “done.”
One face. One plan. One honest result.
