Chin augmentation and chin reduction are the two basic types of chin surgery used to change or improve the appearance of the chin by correcting the size and prominence of the chin. Whether your chin is small and weak, receded, prominent, or overly projected, genioplasty can adjust it to give your face a more equalised appearance. Plastic surgery is frequently performed on the lower jawline and chin area to improve facial proportions and boost confidence and self-esteem. Our board-certified plastic surgeons routinely recommend these procedures to restore the harmony of facial features and the chin/jaw/cheek/forehead balance. In some cases, a bone from the jaw can be pushed forward in a surgery known as mentoplasty or genioplasty. Shaped silicone implants can also be used to give the chin additional projection. Alternatively, bone can be removed to reduce an abnormally protruding chin. Additionally, changes to the upper and/or lower jaw may be recommended for enhanced chewing dynamics and occlusion, or how the teeth fit together. These processes can be basic or extremely complex.
