Define your profile with chin augmentation-subtle changes, powerful results
A receding chin occurs when the lower jaw is set back or the chin tip is small, making the jawline appear less prominent. This can blur the boundary between the neck and face, making the lips seem relatively protrudend, resulting in a softer or less defined facial profile. Common ways to fix this are chin advancement surgery or a chin implant placement.

Applying the Golden Propotion to the face, the ideal ratio for the upper, middle, and lower parts of the face is 1:1:0.8.
A normal chin is about 3mm in front of the vertical line drawn down from the inner corners of the eyes.
From the line correcting the nose to the chin tip, the upper lip should be about 4mm, and the lower lip about 2mm away.
The chin tip should align vertically with the bridge of the nose for an ideal profile.
The line connecting the lips to the chin should form a natural S-shaped curve.

This method involves horizontally cutting and moving the recessed chin bone forward to its proper position and fixing it in place.
This procedure improves the jawline and relaxes the chin muscles, The surgery is preformed under general anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes.
For less severe cases of the receding chin, implants such as silicone or Gore-Tex can be inserted to increase the size of the chin or adjust its position. The surgery is performed under sedation and takes about 20 minutes.
