What can a chin implant do

A chin implant can provide overall facial harmony to someone who has a "weak" or recessed chin.  This procedure is typically performed through a small external incision just underneath the chin and heals remarkably well.  The chin implant is a synthetic device (medpor or silicone) and creates an improvement in the projection of a patient's chin; which is most obvious in the profile view.

Chin implant can improve jawline and profile.

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.
