Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the contours of the chin, providing better facial balance and harmony. This procedure can involve the insertion of an implant or the movement and reshaping of the chin bone to achieve the desired aesthetic effect. It is often performed to address a receding chin, improve the jawline, or correct asymmetry. Chin augmentation can significantly enhance one's profile and overall facial appearance. The procedure typically involves a brief recovery period, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort and swelling, and results that can be seen almost immediately, improving further as healing progresses.
