What is Chin Augmentation
It is the operation that aims to increase the projection of the chin and to bring the middle of the lower jaw in a more harmonious position in relation to the rest of the face. This is done by placing a small silicone implant in the chin area. Alternatively this can be achieved with injectable hyaluronic acid especially in cases where the required volume is small.
