With cosmetic chin augmentation, an implant can be used to enhance the contour or definition of the chin for greater prominence. During the procedure, implants are inserted along an incision made on the inside of the mouth between the gums and lower lips. Alternatively, reduction surgery may be performed to shrink the size of the chin. Chin augmentation is sometimes recommended as an alternative to nose surgery, because changing the chin’s size affects facial balance.
