Chin augmentation/reduction

Chin augmentation/reduction

Augmentation of the chin refers to the refinement of the existing bone structure of the chin area. A chin augmentation treatment aims to balance out other aspects of the face by adding proportion to the chin. The presence of a weak or bony chin may make a big nose look larger and thus make someone with a large nose look unattractive. Surgery to implant a chin restores balance to the entire face.

Chin augmentation aims to restore facial harmony. It can be augmented to draw attention to an underdeveloped chin or make it appear more prominent. The chin can also be enhanced during a neck or facelift, which helps to better define the jawline.

Chin augmentation can be considered if:

• Unhappy with the appearance of the chin.
• Adult with completed facial growth.
• Physically healthy.
