About Undersized Chin Treatments

Some of us are born with a small chin, which can also be called a weak chin.

All of us have a sense of what a weak chin is, but it can be quantified better using something called Ricketts Esthetic line. When a face is viewed in profile, a line drawn between the tip of the nose and the most forward point of the chin should be on the same plane as the most forward point of the lower lip. If the chin is behind that point, the medical condition is called micrognathia. Because beauty is about proportions, an undersized chin can also make a nose look larger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chin augmentation?

Chin augmentation aims to increase the projection of the chin. Often a small silicone chin implant is the answer, as it can address both the projection and the height of the chin. It can also be accomplished with injectable fillers and fat injection. Moving the chin forward can also be accomplished with braces, and orthodontics is a complementary step if the teeth are out of alignment.

What are the reasons to get a chin augmentation?

A balance between the nose and the chin makes for an attractive face. A strong chin and jawline is often associated with beauty.

Can exercises help?

There are countless exercises peddled on the internet, promising a sronger chin. No exercises or gadgets have been proven to increase chin projection on a long-term basis.
