Genioplasty is a surgical procedure that:
✔ Repositions and reshapes the chin bone
✔ Improves facial balance and proportions
✔ Corrects functional jaw issues
✔ Addresses congenital deformities
Unlike chin implants, genioplasty modifies your natural bone structure for more permanent, natural-looking results.
Ideal candidates have:
A receding chin (retrognathia)
A protruding chin (prognathia)
Chin asymmetry
Jaw function problems
Congenital chin deformities
The chin bone is cut and moved forward
Creates better projection
Improves profile balance
Reduces an overly prominent chin
Involves bone removal/reshaping
Creates more feminine contours
Balances uneven chin position
Combines augmentation/reduction
Restores facial symmetry
Intraoral incision (no visible scars)
Precise bone cutting with surgical tools
Repositioning to ideal location
Secure fixation with titanium plates/screws
Suture closure with dissolvable stitches
First 3 days: Significant swelling, liquid diet
Week 1: Soft foods, reduced swelling
Week 2: Return to light activities
Month 1: Most swelling resolves
Final results: Visible after 3-6 months
