The chin has been called the "anchor of the face" and may greatly alter perception of the lips, nose, and jaw.

Side profile and facial symmetry can often be improved by undergoing either augmentation or reduction of the chin.

In the Orient, a protruding chin is seen as a masculine feature, while a retruded chin can make the face look square from the front and underdeveloped in profile.

The anatomy of the chin is covered here.

Oral maxillofacial surgery on the bone or placement of synthetic implants can help address any noticeable shortcomings.
