Creating Facial Harmony
Balance and beauty go together in how people perceive a face. The chin is an often neglected facial area, but it can dramatically affect the overall appearance of your face. An overly prominent chin can draw attention away from the other facial features, while a small chin can obscure the jawline. A disproportionate chin may even draw unwanted attention to other areas of the face, such as the nose, making it appear bigger than it is.
Facial harmony means that there is a balance between your facial features regarding their proportion and distance from each other. A weak or recessed chin can disrupt facial harmony and throw off the appearance of the other facial features.
Chin surgery, sometimes called mentoplasty or genioplasty, is performed to correct the size and shape of the chin and promote facial harmony.
What Are the Benefits of Chin Surgery?
For patients who are insecure about the appearance of their chin, chin surgery can be a transformative experience.
Some of the benefits that chin surgery may provide include:
- A more proportionate chin
- Enhanced bone structure
- A well-defined jawline
- Facial harmony
- Increased self-confidence
If you’re unhappy with how your chin looks, contact PREMIERE Center for Cosmetic Surgery to learn if you’re a chin surgery candidate. During a free consultation with us, you’ll sit down with one of our surgeons and discuss your medical history, concerns, and surgical goals. The surgeon will examine your face and determine whether chin surgery can achieve your desired results.
How Does Chin Surgery Work?
Depending on your natural chin structure, you may need an augmentation or reduction to achieve the look you want. If your chin is naturally too prominent for your face, then a reduction can be done to create facial harmony. For those with recessed chins, chin augmentation can be performed to enhance the size and shape of the chin.
Chin Augmentation
During a chin augmentation procedure, your surgeon makes incisions so they can stretch the tissues in the chin, and a silicone implant is placed over the natural bone structure. The implant allows the chin to be elongated so that it may be proportional to the rest of the facial features. After the implant is properly in place, your surgeon will close the incisions.
Chin Reduction
For chin reduction surgery, incisions are made so the natural bone structure can be altered by shaving and removing excess bone. Once the structure has been changed to reflect the desired chin size and shape, the incisions will be closed.
What Will My Chin Surgery Results Look Like?
After chin surgery, you’ll be able to enjoy having a proportionally balanced chin. Your facial features will appear equal and balanced, and your chin will have an improved appearance from all angles, including the side profile.
