The Seven-Step, 7-Minute Chin Augmentation.

Microgenia, or a recessed/weak chin, plays a significant role in facial disharmony. Although patients with severe microgenia, malocclusion, long-face syndrome, or other significant orthognathic problems are not suitable for chin augmentation alone, many people have mild to moderate microgenia that would benefit from implant-based chin augmentation. Assessment of the chin is included in any critical analysis of the face and plays a key role in the planning of all facial aesthetic procedures. The ideal chin is thought to extend to or just behind a vertical line dropped from the nasion or the upper lip vermilion on profile. The authors describe their efficient, safe seven-step approach to chin augmentation. Copyright © 2022 by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
