A well-defined chin plays an important role in creating facial balance and harmony. Chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, size and projection of the chin, improving the profile and creating better proportion between the chin, nose and jawline.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced consultant plastic surgeons provide personalised chin augmentation procedures using advanced techniques to deliver natural-looking, balanced results that complement your unique facial features.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSChin augmentation, also known as genioplasty or chin enhancement, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the shape and projection of the chin. The procedure is commonly performed using a carefully selected silicone implant, although in some cases the chin bone itself can be repositioned to achieve the desired result.
A small or recessed chin can affect the balance of the entire face, making the nose appear larger or reducing the definition of the jawline. Chin augmentation enhances facial proportions by creating stronger definition and improving profile symmetry.
The procedure is highly personalised, with your consultant plastic surgeon carefully assessing your facial anatomy before recommending the most suitable approach. Every treatment is tailored to complement your natural features rather than dramatically changing your appearance.
Chin augmentation is frequently combined with rhinoplasty or facial contouring procedures to create a more harmonious and balanced facial profile.
