The latest research from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that chin implants are the quickly becoming one of the most popular plastic surgeries for both men and women. More than 20,000 chin implant surgeries were performed in 2011, and most of the patients were more than 55 years in age. According to the study, the so-called “chinplant” saw the highest increase among procedures last year, up more than 70% from 2010.

Doctors and researchers believe that the surgery is becoming more popular because it goes a long way to make the face look younger.  Many people lose definition in the chin/neck area as they grow older, and a chin implant is a great way to give the chin a more prominent appearance.  Giving the chin more definition can take years off of your appearance, giving you a more youthful overall look.

Your chin brings balance to the look of your face, and if your chin is weak-looking it can make your nose look larger than it is. A weak-looking chin can also make your neck look fleshy because of the lack of separation between your jawline and neck. In contrast, if your chin is too prominent, it can make your other facial features look way out of balance. Chin augmentation, or chin plastic surgery, can alleviate either of these problems.

A weak-looking chin can be strengthened and improved in appearance by implants or by moving a portion of the chinbone. Sometimes this procedure is done in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery options, like rhinoplasty (nose plastic surgery), neck lift, laser skin resurfacing, or a facelift. The right combination of procedures can make a huge difference in your appearance.

If you are looking for improved balance of your facial features, chin augmentation may be the answer for you. It’s important to use a plastic surgeon you can trust. Be sure to schedule your free consultation today with Dr. Gary Williamson and find out what options are available to you.
