Chin augmentation surgery can be used for a variety of different facial imbalances, adding to the overall appearance of the face and body. One of these is when individuals present with a small or weak chin. A chin that is too small in relation to the face makes the neck look large and the nose appear more protrusive. Having a chin implant can help alleviate this imbalance.
A chin implant or augmentation can also be used for individuals who are not pleased with the shape of their chin.  For example, a particularly square or pointed chin can be made more rounded and contoured using augmentation procedures. Likewise, if a patient has a large dimple in their chin, augmentation surgery can be used to fill this dimple out and make it less noticeable or completely disappear.
Finally, the implant surgery can be used not to target the chin itself, but to bring another part of the face into better harmony. For example, if an individual has a particularly pointy or prominent nose, this can be made less visible by altering the chin.
