Chin implant vs. chin augmentation - what would be best at balancing my face? (Photos)

February 9, 2024
Asked By:Practical8540 in San Francisco, California

I’m curious what chin treatment would be best at balancing my face. I have a small round face with petite features. My chin appears to be short but when I smile it seems to protrude . I am not sure if an implant is best or an augmentation, I have a fleshy pad and cleft in my chin I’d like to get of. My end goal is to remove the cleft, fleshy pad, and elongate/balance my already petite features. Any advice is appreciated!
