What Is Chin Augmentation?

[streetdoctor]

Chin augmentation is the use of synthetics or biologicals to augment, or make the chin more prominent. It can give balance to an otherwise less defined face or further augment an already existent chin structure.

It also may be that the face needs Mandibular (jaw) augmentation or cheek augmentation to balance out the features either in addition to or instead of chin augmentation. Even a normal sized nose may seem large if one has a weak chin. A qualified plastic surgeon can help determine your needs by examining your facial structure and photographs. Some surgeons even draw a graph on a photo of your face to measure the distances from each facial feature or utilize computer imagery to help portray the possibilities. However, you mustn't rely on the accuracy of the surgical outcome when computer imaging is utilized. The image is only an approximation. Chin augmentation can be very subtle and beneficial when performed correctly. When it is not, it can be very obvious and unflattering.

Do the surgeons ever use computer imaging to show you what you will look like with a new chin?
