1. WHAT IS CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY?
Chin augmentation is a procedure ideal for patients with an undersized chin. For women this can mean bringing more balance to the face, and is often a popular addon to a rhinoplasty procedure. For men this can mean creating a more masculine or ‘strong’ jawline.
chin augmentation can be done multiple ways. These include a silicone implant, fat grafting, or dermal Fillers. All have different positives and negatives and some may be more appropriate depending on what your goals are and your anatomy. the best way to determine this is with a consult. Some of the goals that can be achieved with a chin augmentation include:
- Project more
- Broaden in size
- More prominent, rounder or more angular.
Overall result is to achieve a more balanced facial profile. This procedure is often combined with rhinoplasty, face-lift and neck lift.
