What procedures are available to correct a small or shallow chin?

0

Chin augmentation, or thrust-forward enlargement, is the most popular chin procedure. It can be done alone, or as an accompaniment to nasal or facelift surgery. There are two methods of augmentation. The simplest, implant augmentation, involves inserting a plastic implant directly onto the bone of the chin. This is done under local anesthetic through a mouth or under-chin incision. A more involved, no-implant procedure called intraoral incision requires a cut into the chin bone, sliding it forward and wiring it in place. General anesthetic is mandated. Although the implant is used more often, each method has specific benefits and drawbacks.
