Who this may help
An adult with stable facial growth and a defined concern about chin projection may be considered after facial and bite evaluation.
Chin Implant
Features considered in proportion—not in isolation.
The chin helps define the profile and changes how the nose, lips, and jaw are perceived. Chin augmentation may use an implant or another tailored approach to improve projection and balance while keeping the result in proportion with the entire face.

What to know before deciding.
02 Recovery overview3 phases
01
Early: swelling, tightness, and temporary numbness are common.
