Chin Augmentation
For patients who’s facial imbalance centers on the chin, we have an option for them too!
KPS offers chin augmentation also known as chin contouring. This treatment can improve the contour of an under-developed chin. Augmentation will add to the projection and width of the chin through the placement of an implant or repositioning of the bone.
Chin augmentation is often performed in combination with a rhinoplasty. When you have your consultation with Dr. Schoonover, he will discuss what treatment is best for you and your goals.
