This woman underwent a chin augmentation with a Silastic chin implant performed through the submental (under the chin) incision. The resultant scar was less than 8 mm long and essentially invisible. A well-placed chin implant as performed here by Dr. Haworth, a hyperaesthetic facial plastic surgery specialist in Beverly Hills, dramatically improves the soft tissue redraping over area below the lower lip and helps re-create a smooth transition from the mandible up to the bottom of the chin itself, resulting in a more defined jawline.

Not only does the chin implant provide balanced chin projection with the nose but also helps support the lower lip. When dealing with lower lip ptosis ( i.e.,droop, where the lower teeth become more visible at rest) Dr. Haworth always assesses proper chin projection and therefore the support it gives to the lower lip. He will often times suggest a chin implant if indicated to help the perioral appearance.

What is especially remarkable in this case is the dramatic tightening of the cervical or neck skin that has occurred with simply the alloplastic implant chin augmentation alone.
