Chin augmentation, the latest fad

Chin augmentation is the fastest growing plastic surgery trend among all major demographics, according to new statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Chin augmentation grew more than breast augmentation, Botox and liposuction combined in 2011.
The procedure skyrocketed in both women and men, as well as in all patients over the age of 20, with the largest increase seen in patients age 40 or older. Overall the procedures increased by 71 percent in 2011.“The chin and jawline are among the first areas to show signs of aging. People are considering chin augmentation as a way to restore their youthful look just like a facelift or eyelid surgery,” said ASPS President Malcolm Z. Roth, MD.
Factors like wanting a competitive advantage in the workforce may lead people to consider a variety of cosmetic facial procedures. Lip augmentation, cheek implant, laser skin resurfacing, soft tissue fillers and facelift are additional cosmetic procedures that saw an increase in popularity in 2011.
