An analysis of the lower face profile and methods of chin projection augmentation (a literature review)
https://doi.org/10.52581/1814-1471/92/02
Abstract
The article presents a comparative analysis of existing aesthetic methods for augmenting the chin area. An assessment of the risks of postoperative complications was conducted. It was found that chin augmentation using a subplatysmal autologous fat graft is a minimally invasive, safe, predictable, and long-lasting method that works well in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures.
