Dermal Filler injection used to enhance the chin of a younger woman

Chin augmentation is commonly performed with silicone chin implants, which provide permanent enhancement of the jawline. Chin augmentation can be performed alone, but is also commonly performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty, facelift, or neck liposuction surgery. Some patients, however, prefer to delay cosmetic surgery and perform non-surgical facial enhancements. Chin enhancement can be performed with a variety of facial fillers, such as Radiesse, which last several months.
