Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the chin’s shape and projection, using implants or other techniques to create a more defined chin.
This procedure can add definition to a receding chin, correct asymmetry, or improve the proportions of the face by balancing the jaw bone with other facial features. At SKY, we offer both chin implant surgery and chin reduction surgery for patients seeking either augmentation or reshaping. Each treatment plan is tailored to meet individual goals, ensuring results that are uniquely yours.
On the day of your procedure, you’ll be under the expert care of Dr. Yoo and the SKY team. Depending on your goals, this outpatient procedure involves placing a chin implant through a small incision, typically inside the mouth or under the chin, ensuring minimal visible scarring. For those seeking chin reduction, excess bone or soft tissue is carefully removed to achieve the desired contour.
Dr. Yoo’s expertise in facial plastic surgery ensures precise, safe techniques that enhance your chin and jawline while maintaining a natural appearance.
