Whether fat grafting, dermal fillers, or silicone implants are better for chin augmentation depends on several factors. The severity of age-related chin volume loss, chin anatomy, and expectations are essential in determining which option is more suitable for the patient. Surgeon training and experience also play an indispensable role.
Experienced surgeons can use fat to shape the chin according to the patient’s age, gender, and preference, and appropriately selected patients can obtain a three-dimensional improvement in chin projection, volume, and contour. Fat grafting can also correct a weak or receding chin. As the advantages of fat grafting over other methods become clearer, more surgeons are turning to autologous fat as the method of choice for improving chin contour and definition.
