ABSTRACT
The shape and projection of the chin is an essential element of facial aesthetics and the single dominant feature in fashioning a facial profile. It provides the most protrusive component of the lower face that can impart positive characteristics to the individual when harmoniously positioned or less than endearing connotations when out of balance with the rest of the face. Its importance to a well-balanced face has been historically recognized in art and sculpture since the Greeks through Michelangelo to the present day.
