A well-defined chin is considered a standard of beauty, because it makes you look more youthful, and improves facial balance. More men and women with a weak or recessed chin are now desiring to achieve facial harmony with chin augmentation. Consequently, the demand for chin augmentation (mentoplasty) in the US is trending upwards, a trend that plastic surgeons expect to continue in the coming years.
Why more people are choosing chin augmentation
Chin aesthetics has become very important to the over 40 population in the US, and this is probably due to the changes that set-in as the face starts to age. Facial aging negatively impacts facial harmony, as the tissues of the face slip downwards, and the skin loses fat and deflates. Undergoing chin augmentation can wonderfully rejuvenate the face, and restore facial harmony.
Younger people are choosing chin augmentation because they are unhappy with the appearance of their chin. They often do not like the size or projection, and believe that chin augmentation will give them the sharper jawline they desire.
Also, modern communication tools such as video chat forces people to focus more on their appearance. This technology creates a heightened awareness of perceived flaws, and influences their decision to undergo cosmetic procedures such as chin augmentation.
Chin Implant Surgery
Chin implant surgery involves the use of an implant usually made of silicone, which is placed over the bone in the chin. By increasing the size of the chin, physicians are able to achieve facial harmony. With chin augmentation there is minimal scarring, and the incisions are typically made inside the mouth,but can also be made under the chin.
