A well defined chin helps give balance to the face and creates a major part of one's profile. By augmenting a "weak chin" one is able to achieve facial balance and harmony.

Chin augmentation can create a pleasing, balanced profile by inserting an implant or moving the bone forward to build up a receding chin. A small incision is made underneath the chin and the implant is then inserted and placed into position. Another possibility for improvement through chin surgery is submental liposuction in which excess fatty tissue is removed to help redefine the chin to produce a clean, sharp neckline.

This procedure is often performed in concert with other facial procedures such as rhinoplasty when the goal is to achieve the most natural harmonious balance to a face.
