Chin Reshaping or often Chin Augmentation
Chin reshaping is designed to improve facial balance and harmony by enhancing the size, shape, or projection of the chin. Because the chin plays a critical role in overall facial proportions, even subtle improvements can create a more balanced and refined appearance.
Dr. Amra Olafson believes successful chin reshaping should complement the natural features of the face. Her goal is to create proportion and harmony while preserving each patient’s unique appearance.
Am I a Candidate for Chin Reshaping?
You may be a candidate for chin reshaping if you are bothered by:
- A weak or recessed chin
- Facial imbalance
- Lack of jawline definition
- A profile that feels out of proportion
- Concerns regarding facial symmetry
- Desire for improved facial harmony
The best candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and desire natural-looking enhancement.
