Overview

It may be hard to believe but the chin is a key feature of the face. The chin affects the facial profile and the overall harmony of the facial features. A well-defined jawline can increase one’s attractiveness. On the other hand, a weak or deformed chin can reduce one’s attractiveness. It can make one feel self-conscious about their appearance, leading to a lack of confidence and low self-esteem. ‍ At Authentic Hair Transplant and Cosmetic Centre, Pune, we offer chin augmentation to help you get a contoured and defined jawline safely and effectively.

What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation (also known as genioplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that corrects the appearance of a weak chin and gives it a contoured and defined structure. This can be done either by moving the jawbone forward or by using facial implants. At Authentic Hair Transplant and Cosmetic Centre, Pune, chin augmentation is usually performed using facial implants.
