What is Chin Augmentation?
Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, reshapes the chin to improve facial balance.
At Tara, chin enhancement may involve an implant, while chin reduction can involve reshaping the underlying bone. Chin surgery may also be recommended alongside rhinoplasty when improving overall facial proportion.
