Given its central role in facial harmony, the chin's appearance is paramount. Mel Hornery utilises precise methods to augment the chin for concerns over a receding or ill-defined chin, achieving balance and enhancing overall facial proportion.
NASOLABIAL FOLD REDUCTION
Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, can prematurely age your appearance. Mel Hornery expertly targets and replenishes lost volume, effortlessly rejuvenating your face for a youthful and balanced look.
