chin enhancement
What is a chin enhancement?
A chin augmentation can truly be life changing. An underformed or weak chin can have a significant impact on your confidence as it will cause the face to look disproportionate and unbalanced. By adding more protrusion through treatment with dermal filler, we are able to elongate the jawline which helps to balance nose projection.
We can also add volume to smooth chin dimples, correct symmetry and add length to the chin. This treatment is often used in combination with jawline filler to help tighten the jawline and reduce the appearance of jowls and a double chin.
