Chin Augmentation

Expert Chin Enhancement in Nashville, Tennessee

Your chin is a prominent feature of your face as it creates shape and gives balance to your face. Many men and women with a “weak” chin are interested in chin augmentation to have a strong jawline. Some patients can also benefit from neck contouring to improve the appearance of their neck and jawline. Patients may also be interested in rhinoplasty for overall facial aesthetic harmony.

Facial implants can help reshape the contours of your face, specifically the chin, jaw and cheek areas. Dr. Mark A. Clymer uses FDA-certified facial implants, materials compatible with human tissues, to expertly augment your chin. In some cases, moving or reshaping of the bones may be required to sculpt your chin. Facial fillers may be recommended for some patients who desire enhancement of their chin/jawline.

If you are concerned about your facial appearance and would like to augment your chin, schedule a confidential consultation with Dr. Clymer.

Who Can Benefit From a Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is typically requested by women and men who desire to:
