Who should get chin surgery?

Men and women who look to chin augmentation as a cosmetic solution suffer from microgenia (small-chin). For these individuals, the chin is out of proportion with the rest of the face, making other features appear prominent.

Following are the ideal candidate for chin surgery:

Non-smoker and non-alcoholic.
Must be in a good state of health.

Individuals who feel that their chin is not properly sized, shaped, or positioned.
Those who want profound transformation.
Those who have weak chin and jaw.
