Chin surgery in Barranquilla, ColombiaDr. Samir Janne Hasbun · Plastic surgeon

What it involves
An under-projected chin makes the nose look larger and blurs the definition of the neck. It is corrected with a chin implant or by advancing the patient's own bone. It is often combined with rhinoplasty, because the profile reads as a whole rather than as separate parts.
