Why Choose a Chin Implant in Redlands?

A chin implant, medically known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial proportions and profile. Patients seeking a more defined chin can achieve balanced facial features through this surgical technique. The procedure involves strategically placing soft, pliable implants to create natural-looking contours.
