Chin augmentation is done using surgical implants and can alter the structure of the face by helping in balancing features. This is achieved by the manipulation of the jaw bone. This technique gives better results than using prosthetic implants. This is a relatively easy operation when compared to chin implants which uses bones from other areas to reconstruct the chin.
Minor complications like swelling, blood pooling and numbness can occur, which will disappear soon. Infections and displacement of the implant are less common risks. Biocompatible materials that do not make the body react against it is used. Sometimes, tissues from donors are also used.
