Background: Chin augmentation is most commonly done by the placement of an implant on the end of the bone. Its primary objective is to provide a horizontal increase of the most anterior chin projection point, the pogonion, as best seen in a profile view. Such horizontal chin implants today most commonly have long lateral extensions Read More…
Background: The well known facelift operation affects both hard and soft tissue. It improves the shape of the neck as well as provides increased smoothness among the jawline. It does both because of superolateral soft repositioning helping to unmask a once better defined jawline that has become partially obscured by soft tissue redundancies. The one Read More…
Background: While chin augmentation is commonly performed and numerous implants styles and sizes exist to perform it, the patient’s gender should have an influence in the process. While men tend to prefer stronger and more square chin augmentation results, most women prefer a more subtler result with less augmentation and a rounder or even tapered Read More…

This is because the overlying soft tissue chin Read More…
A sliding genioplasty is a well known chin augmentation procedure whose effects at increasing the projection of the lower face are well known. By bringing the mandibular symphysis forward not only is the chin bone enhanced but the neck angle is improved with the skeletal lengthening of the jawline above it. But there are other Read More…
Background: Besides rhinoplasty surgery for the nose, chin augmentation is the second most common facial reshaping procedure. What the nose and chin share in common is that they are both central projecting features of the face. While there are a variety of chin reshaping procedures that can be done, augmentation is by far the most Read More…
Background: Chin implants come in a wide variety of styles and sizes. They have the greatest number of standard options available amongst all facial implants. This is because they have been clinically used for decades, longer than any other facial implant, and they are the most commonly performed facial implant augmentation. But despite these options, Read More…
Background: The shape of the lower face is primarily influenced by the size and dimensions of the mandible or lower jaw. Being the only moveable bone on the face it has a unique shape due to the biomechanical stresses placed on it as well as having to contain up to sixteen teeth that pass loading Read More…
