Chin Surgery (Genioplasty)

What is it?
Genioplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape or reposition the chin.

About Chin Surgery (Genioplasty)

Chin surgery, or genioplasty, enhances facial balance by altering the size or shape of the chin. It can involve sliding the chin bone forward (sliding genioplasty) or placing an implant to augment the chin’s projection. The goal is to improve the symmetry and profile of the face, especially in cases where the chin is too small or receded. Genioplasty can make the lower face look stronger and more defined, creating a harmonious balance between the nose, lips, and chin.

Results Of Treatment

How it Works

The surgeon assesses the patient’s facial structure and determines whether chin implants or repositioning of the bone is necessary.
In sliding genioplasty, the surgeon makes incisions inside the mouth to cut and reposition the chin bone. In chin implants, an implant is placed through an incision under the chin or inside the mouth.
Initial swelling subsides in about 2 weeks, but full recovery can take up to 3 months.
Patients enjoy a stronger jawline and improved facial harmony.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

  • Individuals with a weak or recessed chin.
  • People seeking better facial proportions.
  • Patients who want to improve the symmetry of their face.
  • Adults with fully developed bone structure.
  • Non-smokers in good general health.
  • Individuals with realistic expectations about the enhancement.

A mini-facelift is a less invasive option focused on lifting and tightening the lower face, ideal for patients with mild sagging. A traditional facelift targets more extensive facial aging, addressing both the mid and lower face and offering more comprehensive rejuvenation.
