The chin can help to balance out the proportion of the face. When a patient has a weak chin, it can often cause their face to appear unbalanced or more feminine than they desire. A chin augmentation can help to correct this issue for a balanced, beautiful profile.
About Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is a procedure that enhances or reshapes the chin. The procedure can be done using an implant to increase size or by reshaping the bone for the desired structure.
