The chin is an important feature of the face. According to physiognomy, it’s believed to reveal whether one’s later life will be comfortable or difficult. A chin that is too short is often associated with a challenging later life. Whether this is true or not is something you might observe in those around you. Some people also have a chin that protrudes excessively, creating an imbalance in their facial proportions.

Who is Suitable for Chin Augmentation Surgery?

• Individuals with dental malocclusion where the chin protrudes forward.
• Those with a chin that is significantly small or recedes inward.
• Individuals with an unbalanced facial structure where the jawline and chin are not proportionate.
• Those with a short face where the chin’s proportions do not align with other facial features.

Surgical Methods

Method 1: External Incision Chin Augmentation

This involves making an incision underneath the chin, on the outside, and inserting a silicone implant. The advantage of this method is that wound care is generally easier compared to an incision made inside the mouth.

Method 2 : Intraoral Incision Chin Augmentation

This involves making an incision inside the mouth, in the crease where the lower lip meets the gums. The incision is approximately 2 centimeters long. The periosteum (membrane covering the chin bone) along the lower edge of the chin is then lifted to create a pocket for the silicone implant. The silicone implant used is typically a soft, highly flexible material with a natural feel that resembles real human chin tissue. Silicone implants have been used in cosmetic surgery for a long time and are known for their durability, high safety, and lack of allergic side effects.
