CHIN RESHAPING OVERVIEW

The appearance of your face is determined by three components: skin, soft tissue, and facial bones. Defined facial features and natural angles that are proportionate create balance in your face and a more attractive appearance.

If the structure of your chin is disproportionate—it is recessed or projects too much—it can affect your self image. If you are bothered by your chin, whether it is too small or too large, chin reshaping may benefit you.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCEDURE

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.

Chin implants can increase the size and projection of a chin that does not project in proportion with the forehead and mid-face. A small or recessed chin can also be described as one that seems to disappear into the neck of an individual of normal weight, rather than appearing as a distinct facial feature. Chin implants are specially formed solid materials designed to enhance or build up the chin.

Chin reduction can decrease the projection of the chin. In women, especially, a jaw that is too strong can be unattractive or too masculine. This procedure helps the face look more balanced, delicate, and feminine.
