What is the definition or description of: chin implant?

Chin Implant Defined: Chin implant is a synthetic material that is shaped in the contour of your chin to augment or enlarge a weak chin in a surgical procedure called chin augmentation. It is generally placed underneath the soft tissues of your skin and muscle to accentuate your chin to match the cosmetic appearance of your lower face and provide a better balance of your chin to your nose.

Chin Implant: A chin implant will give the chin added definition for a more balanced appearance between facial features. It can help the nose look more proportionate on the face. I use either a chin implant or fat graft for chin augmentations.

Genioplasty: A chin implant is a silicone or plastic prosthesis used to augment a deficient chin. It can be surgically inserted from a small incision inside the mouth or under the chin in the neck. However, I find better esthetic outcomes with a sliding genioplasty, or an osteotomy, that bodily moves the existing chin forward, backward, up, down, left or right. It is much more versatile with superior results.
