What Exactly Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation is a procedure used to enhance the look of a weak jawline and a small chin or reduce the size of a massive chin. During the procedure to enhance a vulnerable or small chin, a tiny cut is made by your surgeon just below the chin or in the mouth where the gums and lower lip connect. After that, a silicone implant is implanted and anchored to the jawbone.
When diminishing the size of a large chin, the chin augmentation procedure begins by reducing the jawbone and shifting it before being placed into its new location.
With chin augmentation, scarring behind the chin is modest, and if the cut is done in the mouth, it will be virtually unnoticeable. Depending on the circumstances of your case, your procedure could take anywhere from one to three hours.
Numerous persons opt for chin augmentation alongside rhinoplasty to balance their facial structure. In contrast, some people find that getting their chin into harmony with their other facial features eliminates the need for rhinoplasty. The effects of chin augmentation are long-lasting.

· You have an overly pointy or square chin
