What is a Chin Augmentation?
A chin augmentation enhances the shape of the chin by either a chin implant or structural changes to minimize the protrusion of the chin. Other neck procedures, such as a neck lift, can enhance the results of this procedure.
Who is a Candidate for Chin Augmentation?
There are several reasons why a patient would choose chin augmentation. Improving their facial contour can help increase confidence or self-esteem. With this personalized procedure, Dr. Howland can help create a personalized plan for you, whether it involves silicone chin implants or a reduction of the chin.
What to Expect
