CHIN AUGMENTATION

Face is divided into three parts with chin being in lower 1/3rd. For facial harmony and aesthetics, it is important that all three parts are proportionate. But sometimes a small chin/weak chin can disrupt that harmony.

Retruded chin or less defined jawline can be a cause of concern for both men and women. This harmony can be restored by chin augmentation.

It is procedure that helps in defining the lower third of face and contours it to rest of the face that can add significant boost to self- esteem and a high satisfaction rate.
