ABSTRACT:
The implant for the chin is defined by a solid crescent formed by the intersection of an interior radius of curvature with an exterior radius of curvature in which the interior radius is slightly smaller than the exterior radius, the resulting crescent having a total included angle of approximately forty-five degrees. An outer portion of the implant is provided with a softer, lower durometer material than is the rest of the implant to simulate the fat pad at the point of the chin.
