“Chinplants” are the fastest-growing plastic surgery trend in the U.S.

What do Vicki Gunvalson Farrah Abraham, Heidi Montag, Bristol Palin, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all have in common?

They have all had, or have been rumored to have had, chin implants.

Just as breast implants were the plastic surgery du jour of the 90’s, chin implants, or “chinplants”, are apparently all the rage today. The American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) reported that chin implants were the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure last year; in fact, chin augmentation increased more than breast augmentation, Botox, and liposuction together! Dr. Darrick Antel, a New York plastic surgeon, said in an ASPS news release,”The chin has long been used as a basis for judgment of human character. We may perceive someone with a strong prominent chin to automatically be more aggressive, athletic and decisive. This is true of both men and women.”
