Chin Surgery

 

Chin Surgery

Chin projection is important in the facial profile, and the lack of adequate projection can lead to a sagging neck and the appearance of a larger than normal nose.   The projection can be augmented using either a silicone implant or by cutting and moving the chin bone anteriorly.   A small incision inside the mouth or under the chin  can be used to achieve either purpose.  Through a similar approach, removing the prominent bone can reduce a large chin.
