Chin Augmentation

 

Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the chin by reshaping or augmenting its size, position, or contour.

This procedure can involve various techniques, including the use of implants to increase chin projection, reshaping the bone through surgical manipulation, or injecting fillers to improve chin definition.

Chin augmentation aims to create better facial balance and harmony by addressing concerns such as a weak or receding chin, chin asymmetry, or lack of definition in the lower face. It is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty (nose surgery) or facelift, to achieve overall facial harmony and aesthetic enhancement.

Procedures of Chin Augmentation

 

Chin augmentation involves making an incision either inside the mouth or under the chin, creating a pocket in front of the chin bone, inserting an implant or reshaping the bone, and then closing the incision. Recovery includes swelling and bruising that gradually diminish over several weeks.
