What is a Chin Augmentation?
Cosmetic chin surgery adds proportion to the chin and provides balance to other facial features. A weak chin makes the neck appear fleshy. It accentuates the size of a normal nose and makes a large nose seem especially big. Chin enlargement through chin implant surgery brings the facial features into harmony and balances the overall facial structure. Alternatively, when an especially prominent chin makes the nose or other facial features appear too small for the face, chin reduction surgery can provide a balanced look. Aesthetic chin surgery offers an effective solution for refining facial definition and contour.
Chin Enlargement with Implants
Recessive chin enlargement surgery uses chin implants to supplement the existing bone at the front of the jaw beneath the teeth. The artificial implant sits under the skin and gives a permanent boost to the strength and definition of the chin. This augmentation method can give patients a pleasing, well-proportioned look that seems completely natural.
Chin Reduction Surgery
Some people actually find that their chins are too large to fit in with their other facial features. By moderately reshaping the bone and other structural tissues, cosmetic chin reduction surgery can create a more pleasing contour for the face. No facial implants are necessary, and the results should appear natural in every way.
