About this Treatment
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation refers to procedures that can reshape and enhance the chin and surrounding jawline. Surgical chin augmentation typically involves placing an anatomic chin implant or less commonly, moving the lower chin bone forward to increase chin projection, also known as an ‘osseous genioplasty’ or ‘mentoplasty’.
Non-surgical chin augmentation refers to the use of injectable, FDA approved fillers that are biologically identical and long lasting.
What It Is
Improving chin and jawline contour can have significant benefits in facial profile and appearance as well as provide balance with other facial features, such as the nose. If the chin is under projecting and out of proportion, it may have a negative impact on the neckline, magnify the appearance of cheek jowls and loss of the jawline, and contribute to the appearance of a larger and out-of-balance nasal profile. Safe and natural appearing chin enhancement can be accomplished surgically by placement of a chin implant or, less commonly, sliding the lower chin bone forward. Non-surgical chin augmentation can be effectively done by injection of the patient’s own fat cells or, more commonly, by injectable dermal fillers.
