Chin augmentation with an implant can be performed under different types of anesthesia, but should not be very painful under any type. The procedure can be done with general anesthesia, where you would be completely out or it can be done with IV sedation with local anesthesia, where you would be sleepy but not unconscious.

Most patients just sleep through the procedure and do not open their eyes.
