Chin Augmentation & Reduction

Chin augmentation and reduction (mentoplasty) is an operation that aims to bring the size, projection, or symmetry of the chin into harmony with the face. It can be performed using implants, bone advancement, or bone reduction techniques; it is usually planned together with rhinoplasty to achieve overall balance in the facial profile.
