Chin surgery, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Often, chin surgery may be necessary for patients having nose surgery in order to achieve the appropriate facial balance, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.

The presence of a small or "weak" chin contour, whether alone or in the setting of large, disproportionate nose , indicates consideration of a chin implant.
	Implants are used to build projection of the chin to achieve harmony and balance. The implant is placed in front of the chin through a small incision under the chin (in the natural skin crease) or through the mouth.
