Chin surgery/genioplasty is plastic surgery procedure also called Chin Augmentation, Chin Correction, Chin Sculpting, or Chin Implan, which corrects receding chins, chin misalignment or chin excess.
Reshaping the chin can be accomplished either by using chin implants or by repositioning the bone supporting the chin.
Well defined facial features are the most important traits of physical beauty. Visible contours and natural angles that are proportionate all create balance in your face and a more attractive appearance. Facial aesthetics is based on proportions and a balance between the forehead, nose and chin such as the ‘Rule of thirds’‘. The chin therefore plays an important part in the facial equation.
For a Chin Augmentation, the incisions are made inside your mouth so there will be no visible ugly scars. In Sliding Chin Genioplasty, Sliding your bony chin along with adding or subtracting bone from the chin region to either increase or decrease the facial height or projection is a better option for chin enhancement.
