Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is a common procedure to improve the balance to the facial profile by correcting a "weak" chin due to congenital deficiency, age-related bone absorption, or facial trauma. A weak chin can also make a normal nose appear larger and an already prominent nose seem even larger. It may also give the appearance of loose skin on the neck. Some patients benefit from Rhinoplasty surgery with Chin augmentation in order to provide the best facial balance.
Chin augmentation is the procedure of choice for most patients with normally functioning teeth and jaw development. A bio-compatible implant is placed over the bone structure of the lower jaw, augmenting the dimensions of your jaw.
