Chin surgery: a balanced profile, assessed as a whole.
Chin surgery to balance your profile. The maxillofacial surgeon also evaluates your bite and jaws before recommending the best option.
What it involves
Chin surgery
Chin surgery changes the shape or projection of the chin. It can be done with an implant or by repositioning the chin bone (genioplasty), depending on what your case calls for.
Because the chin is part of the jaw structure, the assessment includes your bite: in some cases the best option is orthognathic surgery rather than chin surgery alone.
Is it for you?
These are some of the situations people consult us about most. The decision is made after your assessment.
- Your chin feels small, recessed or very prominent compared with the rest of your profile.
- You want to balance your profile together with another procedure, such as rhinoplasty.
- You notice an asymmetry of the chin.
- You want to know whether chin surgery or orthognathic surgery suits you better.
