Chin Implant
Chin implant surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the placement of an implant to enhance the appearance of the chin. It is typically performed to address concerns such as a weak or recessed chin, a disproportionate facial profile, or to achieve better facial harmony.
If you’re considering a chin augmentation or reduction procedure, it’s important to first undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. At Hudson Facial Plastics, we take a comprehensive approach to chin evaluation, which includes analyzing facial proportions, bone structure, and soft tissue characteristics.
