Genio Plasty

Genioplasty, also known as chin augmentation or chin reduction surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure that reshapes the chin bone (mandibular symphysis) to improve facial harmony, jawline definition, and profile aesthetics. It is often performed when someone has a receding chin, overly prominent chin, or asymmetrical chin.

Unlike chin implants, genioplasty involves surgically repositioning your own bone, making it a more natural and stable option — especially for those also undergoing orthognathic (jaw) surgery.

What We Do

We perform two main types of genioplasty procedures:

  • Advancement Genioplasty – For small or receding chins (moves chin forward)

  • Reduction Genioplasty – For long, projecting, or broad chins (removes excess bone)
    In some cases, we also do vertical shortening or lengthening, or correct chin asymmetry.

Our approach involves detailed facial analysis, cephalometric measurements, and 3D planning to ensure optimal results that complement your facial proportions.

Who Needs Genioplasty?

  • People with a weak or receding chin

  • Individuals with a bulky, broad, or protruding chin

  • Patients with facial imbalance or jaw disproportions

  • Those who want a better jawline contour or side profile

  • Candidates for orthognathic surgery who need chin correction for symmetry

Benefits of Genioplasty

  • Improves facial aesthetics and profile balance

  • Enhances jawline sharpness and lower face definition

  • Corrects asymmetry or chin deviation

  • Natural results using your own bone

  • Can help improve airway space (in select cases)

Surgical Process

  1. Pre-surgical planning with facial imaging and X-rays

  2. Surgery under local or general anesthesia

  3. Small incision inside the lower lip (no visible scars)

  4. Bone cut (sliding osteotomy), repositioned and fixed with mini plates

  5. Stitches inside the mouth — no scar on the face

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Mild swelling and numbness for 1–2 weeks

  • Resume normal routine in 7–10 days

  • Full healing in 6–8 weeks

  • Soft diet and good oral hygiene recommended

Risks & Considerations

  • Temporary numbness in the chin or lower lip

  • Rare risk of infection or bone relapse

  • Minor asymmetry may require touch-up (rare)
