A Chin With Lips To Match

In a previous post I had mentioned the three different portions or ‘thirds’ of the face that plastic surgeons make use of to get a better understanding of a patient’s facial anatomy.

The features that make up the third part of the face are the mouth and the chin which are very closely related. Even more closely aligned with each other are the lips and the chin which are interconnected by muscles like the depressor muscles and the orbicularis oris muscle (the kissing muscle- it helps you pucker).

A look at the anatomy of the human mouth will give you a better idea about the physiognomy and will help you get an intimate understanding of the chin enhancement job you want.

It goes without saying that the lips are going to be affected as much by a chin enhancement surgery due to the connection between these two features. Your chin enhancement doctor will explain the manipulation required for the surgery, enough so that you get an idea.

In a chin enhancement procedure proper lip (upper and lower) competence needs to be established. Cosmetic surgeons generally attempt to maintain the lower lip as posterior to the upper lip. They also try to establish a satisfactory configuration with the soft tissue in the chin.

You don’t need to break your head too much over such details though as at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California professional cosmetic surgeons are skilled at maintaining the lip-chin harmony.
