Chin Augmentation

Don’t Settle for a Chin That’s Too Small

If you feel that your chin is too big or too small for the rest of your face, a chin augmentation may be able to help. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Tenley Lawton can help you improve your facial profile. 

What is Chin Augmentation?

Genioplasty, commonly called chin enhancement surgery, is done to either enhance or reduce the chin’s profile. A qualified chin enhancement surgeon, such as Newport Beach facial plastic surgeon Dr. Tenley Lawton, can add appropriate shape or definition, depending upon the individual’s facial structure.

Am I a Candidate?

If your chin is too big or too small and you are noticing it impacting your facial profile, you may be a candidate for chin augmentation. A consultation with Dr. Lawton can help you understand your facial surgery options and determine if genioplasty is right for you.

How Does It Work?

Chin enhancement surgery is performed with an implant and reduction surgery involves the careful removal of bone. Chin enhancement surgeon Dr. Lawton sometimes recommends nose surgery in concert with chin enhancement surgery to achieve balance in terms of facial proportion because the change from a chin augmentation may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose.
