FAQ's
Is it obvious when someone has a chin augmentation?
A chin augmentation is a very common procedure. When was the last time you saw someone and thought they had a chin implant? The results of a chin augmentation are subtle yet profound.
Will a chin augmentation change the appearance of my neck?
By increasing the projection of the chin, the neck looks more angular, lean, and youthful. Some patients who think they need some sort of a neck lift really are best served with a chin implant, either alone or with some type of a neck lifting procedure. And as the neck skin is distracted forward even a little bit by a chin implant, there is a greater amount of tightness noted in the skin underneath the jaw.
Why does chin augmentation make such a big difference in appearance?
The chin plays a critical role in setting up balances in the face and in the neck. While men are typically considered more attractive when their chins are stronger and squarer than the chins in women, an attractive and balanced chin is important for both genders. A strong chin creates a greater appearance of strength and self-confidence. Its role in balancing the nose and forehead are very important in creating ideal facial proportions.
Why would someone get a chin augmentation?
When viewed in profile, the projection of the chin plays a very important role in balancing the forehead and nose. A small chin can make a nose look large; a large chin can make a nose look smaller. In the front view, a short chin results in the face looking "top-heavy".
