Procedure
This procedure is accomplished by the introduction of a chin prosthesis above the chin bone, below or immediately above the periosteum.
By definition, augmentation in the anterior, lateral or inferior projection of the chin is considered chin augmentation. The material most commonly used due to its pliability and durability is solid silicone or silastic, although many other materials have been used such as bone, titanium, tantalum, gold alloys etc. 

No Scars
Chin augmentation is one of the easiest and at the same time, most exacting cosmetic surgical procedure undertaken on the face.  For the past several years and, thanks to the modification of the surgical approach, now, almost universally performed through the retro-labial space, chin enhancement ha become an scar less and common companion to other face and nose procedures.  When adequately performed, chin augmentation carries a very low incidence of infection. 

No Pain
Post-operative pain is quite bearable, requiring only minimal analgesics and the result achieved is often spectacular.  Chin dressing is no longer necessary since there is no external incision.  Fixation tape is applied for two or three days to prevent displacement os the the prosthesis.  In most cases, normal eating will be allowed in 24 hours
