Create a Stronger Jawline with Chin Implants in Englewood, NJ

Many people worry about their jawlines. Indeed, having a weak or small chin that recedes or is not prominent enough can make your nose seem bigger. Large chins also pose a problem as they can impede the balance of your other features. At his clinic in Englewood, NJ, Dr. Kevin Ende, M.D. offers people who are concerned about their chins a range of chin implants and chin reshaping procedures. If your teeth are in good alignment, you can benefit from chin implants. Chin implantation surgery is quick and simple. The procedure involves making a small incision beneath the chin in order to place a silastic implant which has been custom fit for you. The incision is always made in a natural jaw crease, so it remains unobtrusive. Chin implants are effective anti-ageing tools and help to tighten loose skin under the chin.
