Is chin cosmetic surgery harmful?

Surgery to the chin usually involves either reducing the projection of the chin or increasing it. Reducing the chin to create a more even and balanced profile is becoming increasingly popular. The surgery does carry risks , as all cosmetic surgery does and the best place to start is with a consultation with a qualified Plastic Surgeon or maxillo facial surgeon. Surgery to increase the chin projection is done where the chin is slightly receded and needs to be projected forward, again to create balance to the face.
