Chin Implant (Mentoplasty)

Chin augmentation using surgical implants can alter the underlying structure of the face, providing better balance to the facial features. This can take the form of chin height reduction, chin rounding by osteotomy, or chin augmentation using implants. Rhinoplasty (surgery of the nose) specialists often suggest that changes in chin size or shape may enhance a profile as much as rhinoplasty. It is common to recommend chin surgery in addition to nose surgery to achieve facial balance and harmony. Fortunately, this is a relatively straightforward procedure that can make a major difference.
