Enhance Your Facial Features with Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation is a cosmetic surgery performed to shape the size, height, and shape of the chin. The chin surgery is done to enhance the facial structure by either enhancing or reducing the size of the chin. The chin augmentation surgery is done to get a better balance of the facial features. Mentoplasty and Genioplasty are the two specific medical terms used to refer to the reduction and addition to a patient's chin. This operation is often, but not always, performed at the time of rhinoplasty to help balance the facial proportions. Chin surgery can also be performed at the time of neck or facelift, to help better define the jawline. This is usually accomplished by placement of a fitted implant directly on the bone of the chin, well below the skin. Did you know, the shape of the chin is related to nose size?
