With constant advancements in technology and the increasing prevalence of social media in our daily lives, it is not surprising that new challenges in plastic and cosmetic surgery are seen and successfully conquered by Dr. Ronald Caniglia, double board-certified surgeon, at his Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery Center.

How do I know If I have a recessive chin profile?

Take several profile photos of yourself. You can accomplish this with a couple of mirrors or take a side-view selfie of yourself. Examine your profile while imagining a vertical line from your lower lip extending downward. Your chin should touch that line. If it doesn’t, then you should consider that your profile is weak, and your chin is receded.

How common is chin advancement surgery?

With the way that social media and the use of our mobile devices has invaded our lives, chin augmentation has become one of the fastest-growing plastic surgery procedures for both women and men.

Much of that is due to the posting of images on sites including Facebook, Instagram, Linkedln, or someone’s own business or personal website. Everyone wants to look their best, whether in person or in photos posted online.

Once you meet with Dr. Caniglia and he discusses your goals and conducts a thorough examination of your face, he will make a recommendation if chin advancement surgery is right for you. It is a procedure that takes less than an hour to complete and is done on an outpatient basis at The Caniglia Center.
