The Procedure
Chin augmentation can be performed using implants or by reshaping the existing bone. The surgeon makes a small incision either inside the mouth or under the chin to place the implant or modify the bone structure.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from chin augmentation typically takes 1-2 weeks. Patients may experience swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week.
Expected Results
Chin augmentation provides permanent results that can significantly improve facial harmony and boost self-confidence by creating better facial proportions.
