A well defined neck and jaw line is desirable for facial harmony and balance. People with strong and well balanced jaw lines are often viewed as more successful and intelligent.
There is however a fear for many patients that enhancing their chins will lead to an unnatural overdone appearance. When the chin is enhanced to fit the other facial proportions, the results lead to natural facial harmony.
Chin enhancement can be done surgically, most commonly via a chin implant. Less commonly, this is done by jaw advancement surgery. This is more complicated and comes with higher risks. Increasingly, patients are asking for non surgical chin enhancement. Various fillers from Radiesse to Juvederm Voluma and Sculptra injections can be used depending on the desired result, and duration of effect.
A weak chin is often accompanied by excess heaviness along the neck and jaw line. Conservative liposuction, using Smart Lipo, can add to chin augmentation results by giving a more crisp neck and jaw line.
