Chin Enhancement Treatments – Alone or in Combination
Dermal Fillers
Chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers is a non-surgical approach used for enhancing facial appearance by adding volume to recessed or weak chins. This procedure involves injecting fillers into the soft tissues near the existing skeletal structure of the chin. The results can last 9-12 months.
