		Coburn et al state, "The chin, the nose, and the forehead are the three balancing masses of the face." An aesthetically and visually pleasing chin provides balance, harmony, and symmetry to the rest of the face.
		Cohen states, “In evaluating the chin from an aesthetic viewpoint, the absolute measurements of facial structures are not as important as the relative size and proportion of each structure in comparison with the others.” More significant malrelationships may require major surgical intervention that includes orthognathic or craniofacial surgery.
		However, consider augmentation of the chin in patients with a small or weak chin who have a normal or near-normal occlusion or when orthognathic surgery is not warranted.
