A chin that is too small or too short can be perceived as disturbing to the aesthetics and harmony of the face and neck. In chin surgery, a silicone chin implant is usually used to achieve the desired shape and size. These implants are available in various sizes and shapes and are adapted to individual needs, requirements, and wishes.
• Receding or underdeveloped chin
• Unfavorable profile harmony(e.g., receding chin, disharmony with the nose or forehead)
