Chin Surgery ( Genioplasty )
Cosmetic chin surgery is a cosmetic surgery that repositions the chin to achieve a desired esthetic profile. Patients who want a stronger chin or profile can have the position or projection of the chin with this cosmetic surgery.
In this cosmetic surgery, a cosmetic surgeon moves the position of the chin and secures it in its new position with titanium screws or by inserting a small synthetic implant over the natural bone. The operation can also greatly enhance the results of a face-lift, as loss of chin projection may occur with aging. Chin augmentation is commonly combined with facial liposuction, where fat is removed from under the chin and from the neck.
In the case of a chin implant, the cosmetic surgeon makes a small underneath the chin or inside the mouth. An implant, with a similar consistency of a natural chin, is placed in front of the bone to increase the projection of the chin. The implant is secured and the incision is sutured closed. Alternatively, the chin can be repositioned so that the bone and soft tissues are advanced to create facial balance and a natural, improved appearance.
