Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation is the best option for someone who feels that the shape of his chin is not in accordance to his face or chest. The chin bears a major role in maintaining aesthetics and facial symmetry. The chin and the nose together determine the balance in facial structure. They also give you a distinct appearance. This method has become very popular among young women and men.

Chin enhancement might be achieved by chin reduction surgery or by using facial implants. Chin reduction surgery can be used by the people who want to reduce the prominence of their jaw. While facial implants can be used for the advancement of jaw and chin enlargement. Chin augmentation provides balance to the facial features by keeping the chin in correct proportion with respect to the rest of the body. The neck appears fleshy if the chin is weak. This, in turn, makes a nose appear even bigger. When chin implant surgery is used the facial features are brought back to harmony, and the allover facial structure gets balanced

The bone shape of the area surrounding the chin can be refined using chin augmentation. This is achieved by placing an implant directly on the chin bone. The implant is placed quite below from the surface of the skin.

Chin augmentation can be carried out during both awake and asleep conditions of the patient. A small cut is made either inside the mouth or below the skin. After that, the implant is placed. Patients may suffer from 5-6 days of swelling around the chin.
