Genioplasty (Chin Surgery)

When a chin is small, it may undermine the entire face making a nose look larger and more conspicuous. A genioplasty is a surgical procedure carried out to reshape or change the size of the chin. Using specialized instruments, the bone of the chin is reshaped to balance your profile in relationship to the nose, jaws and lips.

The surgical reshaping of the chin is carried out either as an isolated procedure or as part of other facial surgery (e.g. orthognathic surgery, rhinoplasty or facelift). A genioplasty may have dramatic positive affects on your profile and shape of the lips.
