Many patients in the New Jersey and Philadelphia area complain that their chin or jaw line is too small for the face. When one has a lack of chin projection, the nose may appear larger or the neck may appear unrefined. Psychologically, a weak chin/jaw line may also give false perceptions of weakness or lack of strength. Patients with weak chin projection also are not satisfied with their profile. For these reasons, many patients will seek chin augmentation in Philadelphia to improve the appearance of their chin.
Creating a more appealing balance between your chin and other features not only makes your face more attractive but it also has some added benefits. The subtle increase in volume creates a more sculpted, youthful neckline. Your jawline is more refined, your nose appears smaller, and your other features look more attractive.
