Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation can be used to define an underdeveloped chin, or give it more prominence. Chin implant surgery can also be combined with other surgeries such as rhinoplasty, a facelift or neck shaping to enhance the proportions of the face further.
Chin implants are small, solid devices made from a biocompatible material, usually silicone, which have been molded to fit around a patient’s chin bone. Chin implants vary in size and contour; Dr. Namazie will help you choose an implant that will achieve your desired degree of enhancement and provide the most natural looking result.
Chin implant surgery can:
- Correct a weak or recessed chin
- Improve definition of the neck and jawline
- Help reduce the appearance of a full or “double” chin caused by a small chin bone
- Enhance the facial profile by increasing the projection of the lower face
- Camouflage early jowl formation for a more youthful appearance
- Increase the width of the lower face by widening the chin
- Lengthen the face by increasing the vertical chin height
- Diminish the appearance of dimpling often caused by a loose chin
- Create balance, symmetry, and proportion to the entire face
