Usually when removing bone from the chin, it is not for augmentation purposes but quite the opposite – for chin reduction when the chin is quite prominent and extended forward. This can give a more masculine appearance for women, but the procedure can be performed on men and women both.

If nerve damage happens, the result would be numbness of the chin.

The use of chin implants is very common. They do look and feel quite natural, but it may take several months before they achieve that completely. There are several types of chin implants which can be used, depending upon the desired result. Downtime is usually 5 – 7 days, with swelling and bruising. A small incision is made under the chin, with scarring almost unnoticeable after several months. The end result is, again, natural looking and feeling.
