Genioplasty or Chin Surgery FAQs

Whilst many facial focus on the nose and eyes, many surgeons agree than genioplasty can dramatically improve the profile and overall of a person’s face, as it can have a significant effect on facial symmetry.

Genioplasty dates back of years, when materials such as paraffin, ivory and methylmethacrylate were used to define the shape of the chin, but modern dates back to the 1940s, when bony techniques were first used to shape the chin.

Genioplasty is generally used to advance the chin, if it is small or deficient, or to reduce the chin, if it is too large. It can also be used to make the face appear longer or shorter from the front and from the profile. If the lower jaw is deficient, can also be used to make it appear longer or more and other surgeries, such as orthognathic (jaw) can also be performed at the same time as a surgery to improve the appearance, and in some cases, the function, of the lower jaw and chin. Rhinoplasty can also be at the same time as genioplasty in order to improve the appearance of the whole face, if needed.

There are several different types of genioplasty – genioplasty or sliding genioplasty, asymmetric chin point and implant genioplasty.

According to from the American for Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 6,641 chin surgeries were in 2019 a drop of 7.1% on 2018.
