    Chin Surgery

    A well-defined chin gives balance to the face. Chin augmentation can be done by inserting an implant or moving the bone forward to build up a receding chin, or to reducing a prominent chin.

    In cases of an overbite, underbite, or other birth defects in the structure of the jaw itself, surgery of the jaw can improve both the form and function of the lower face.

    In addition to implants and bone surgery, the jawline can be improved through submental liposuction, in which excess fatty tissue is removed to redefine the chin or neckline.
