A weak or retruded chin can significantly affect facial appearance, causing the nose to look larger or the neck to look loose. Chin augmentation or mentoplasty is often performed to provide a more balanced facial appearance and create a chin that is stronger, wider, or longer. Chin augmentation is often performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty or other facial procedures in order to achieve a balanced facial profile. The implant can be placed through a small incision beneath the chin or through an incision inside the mouth.
