Chin implant can improve jawline and profile.
Like any operation, a chin implant has to be done just right, and the correct implant must be selected. We use larger implants in men. It is a simple operation with potential dramatic results.

Chin Implant Results
Mentoplasty -- chin implant surgery -- can have a dramatic effect on a patient's profile. Many surgeons will use computer imaging (morphing) or tracing paper overlaying your preop photos to simulate the desired change.
