Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure to increase the size or shape of the chin and change its appearance. Different techniques, like surgical procedures, injections, or implants, can help achieve this. Chin augmentation can be performed for various reasons, including to balance facial features, improve jawline definition, and increase self-confidence. It is a popular procedure that can be tailored to the individual needs and desires of the patient.

The two most common methods of chin augmentation are chin implants and injectable fillers.

• Correcting a weak chin: A weak chin can create an unbalanced appearance, making the nose appear larger and the neck appear shorter. Chin augmentation can provide a more defined and proportional chin to improve overall facial harmony.
• Correcting facial asymmetry: A misaligned chin can cause facial asymmetry, which can be corrected through chin augmentation.
• Enhancing the jawline: A well-defined jawline is desirable, and chin augmentation can help create a more attractive and youthful appearance.
• Improving self-confidence: For some people, a weak or misaligned chin can be a source of insecurity. Chin augmentation can help improve self-confidence and self-esteem.

How is the Chin Augmentation Surgery Performed?

The exact procedure for chin augmentation will depend on the method chosen.

For chin implant surgery, the patient is given anaesthesia and an incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin. The implant is inserted and positioned in the desired location.

For injectable fillers, a local anaesthetic may be used, and the filler is injected into the chin area.

The procedure usually takes anywhere between about 30-60 minutes or more to complete, depending on the extent of surgery.
