What is it?

The chin augmentation surgery aims to bring your features into better, more attractive balance. It increases the size of the chin either through the use of an implant, or by removing a section of bone, moving it forward and fixing it into position.

Chin augmentation procedure offers benefit to persons who have a recessed chin and who may also have a prominent nose. Cosmetic chin surgery adds definition to the jaw and balances the appearance of a large nose. Candidates for chin surgery should be in good health and have reasonable expectations about the result of the surgery.
