Dr. Mobley is one of a select few surgeons in the country who is a national teacher for the Implantech company and teaches other surgeons from around the world and USA on his chin implant surgical techniques.

Chin Augmentations in Utah
Dr. Mobley is a national authority on Facial Plastic Surgery and is one of a few surgeons in the country selected to teach cosmetic chin implant surgery to other surgeons around the USA and the world. Dr. Mobley also performs 18x as many chin implants as the average plastic surgeon based on national data.
Chin Augmentation can add definition to a jawline, strengthen a weak chin, or tighten a neck wattle. For some patients, a chin implant can add strength and give a more refined look. Dr. Mobley is an international leader in the technique of “custom chin implant carving”. In this technique Dr. Mobley takes the time to custom carve your chin implant in real-time surgery. The end result is a 100% customized jawline that will more exactly enhance your jawline anatomy and the look you’re seeking to achieve. This attention to detail is what sets Dr. Mobley apart from many other plastic surgeons.
When choosing a Utah Chin Augmentation surgeon, experience is key. The chin and neck are the facial areas where surgeons have to be most knowledgeable about the anatomy (such as bones, nerves, and muscles of the jaw and neck area) and what can be realistically achieved. He is a well-known national authority on Facial Plastic Surgery with a particular emphasis on Chin Augmentation. Having perfected his surgical techniques he has been an invited lecturer to teach other surgeons internationally as well has having his innovations published in medical journals and textbooks.
He is one of 6 national teachers of cosmetic facial implant surgery and acts as an ongoing consultant to the Implantech Corporation teaching his implant techniques to surgeons from around the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Mobley is double board-certified both as a head and neck surgeon (ABOto) and a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon (ABFPRS). This gives our patients confidence in knowing they have chosen the most qualified, experienced surgeon for the best possible outcome.
A chin implant can be a powerful cosmetic operation in that chin augmentation is one of the best “bangs” for one’s dollar. The procedure itself can be performed in the office (keeping costs lower) but, at the same time, the addition of a cosmetic chin implant to the jawline can dramatically and positively improve the natural appearance of the neck and jawline for both men and women. Chin augmentation recovery time averages 7-10 days for most patients.

RELATED PROCEDURES
SHOULD I CONSIDER A CHIN AUGMENTATION?
As we get older, certain changes occur in the jaw and neck area. You may be bothered by a loss of definition of the jaw-line, a weak chin, or a wattle in the neck area. Chin augmentation, sometimes in conjunction with neck liposuction and chin implants, can reverse these effects of age.
COMMON REASONS FOR CHIN AUGMENTATION:
- Loose skin
- Loss of definition
- Weak chin or jawline
- Early jowls forming along the chin and jawline

CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY IN UTAH
Frequently Asked Questions
The top questions about our revolutionary procedure defining faces across America.
Utah Chin Augmentation surgery can usually be performed through a very small incision (about one inch) placed on the underside of the chin where most people have a natural crease in the skin. This incision heals quickly, leaving an almost imperceptible scar (click for image). About half of the patients I see who are seeking neck and chin cosmetic surgery have weak chins. Surprisingly, patients themselves are not aware of this. If you fall into this category, I can place a chin implant through this small incision. The implant is secured to the jaw with sutures that dissolve after a few months. Screws are not needed and are not used. Screws can sometimes cause patients discomfort long-term so Dr. Mobley does not use them. The implant will give the jawline a stronger, more refined look to the face. A large variety of implants are available so they can be individualized to your exact anatomy. Further, Dr. Mobley is an international innovator of “custom-carved” chin implants so that can get an implant that is uniquely customized in shape to your specific jawline.
At Mobley MD, understanding the costs associated with your cosmetic surgery starts by recognizing our dedication to quality, safety, and personalized care. With over 20 years of expertise, Dr. Mobley has created a practice focused on delivering exceptional surgical experiences and outstanding cosmetic outcomes tailored to your unique goals.
Your final cosmetic surgery fee comprises three key components: the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fees. Dr. Mobley’s surgeon’s fee will be clearly outlined after your detailed consultation, including a comprehensive physical exam and customized treatment planning often supported by advanced computerized imaging to visualize your results.
Dr. Mobley is nationally recognized for his expertise in cosmetic chin augmentation and actively teaches, publishes, and innovates in this field. His specialized techniques, including custom artistic carving of chin implants, ensure each patient achieves distinctive and natural-looking results.
Most chin augmentation procedures can comfortably be performed in our office-based operating room. The starting price for chin augmentation typically begins at around $5,500 & up, though this cost can vary based on the complexity and extent of the personalized implant shaping required. While lower-cost options may exist, Mobley MD is proud to deliver superior care and results from one of the nation's foremost experts in chin surgery.
After your consultation, you will receive a straightforward and transparent quote outlining your individualized surgical plan. Please note, that facility and anesthesia fees are time-based and may vary according to the actual length of your procedure.
Dr. Mobley wants to make cosmetic surgery available to as many people as possible. For that reason we have partnered with CareCredit to provide lending services. When you come in for your consultation we will be more than happy to go over all your financial options with you.
Following a chin implant most patients would prefer to rest at home for 1-3 days following the operation. After that, if one is not self conscious about some bruising and swelling, most patients feel fine to return to school or work. Stitches are removed after 1 week and most obvious bruising and swelling is subsiding by 2 weeks post-op. It can take 8-12 weeks before the new final jawline shape is seen as there is another layer of swelling that takes several weeks to entirely resolve.
During your consultation, you can review before and after photos of patients who have undergone similar surgery. Also, computer morphing software can be used during the consultation to show you what is realistically achievable from surgery.
Every type of surgery has risks. It’s my ethical responsibility to educate you on these risks so you can make the best possible decision for yourself while weighing these risks against the benefits of surgery. My training helps me to minimize these risks to the best of my ability, but I cannot eliminate them entirely.
Common risks include numbness of chin, red or visible scar, shifting of the implant, and infection of the implant. Since starting practice in 2002, I have only had 1 implant shift after surgery, a few cases of numbness in the lips and chin, and have never had to remove an implant due to infection.
The risks above are the most common ones that I think you should be aware of, but they are not a complete list of all possible risks. When I see you in consultation and we begin to formulate your surgical treatment plan, I’ll review with you not only these common risks but also the less likely complications that may occur.
