GENIOPLASTY (Chin enhancement/ augmentation surgery)

A retrusive small chin may have a negative effect on facial balance. If the chin is very small it may be due to an underdevelopment of the whole lower jaw. For most people, however, a relatively simple procedure can be carried out to increase the chin projection and improve facial appearance. Although chin implants are the simplest option, they can result in problems including infection and rejection. For this reason, I prefer to carry out an advancement of the chin using the patient's own bone. This is a relatively simple procedure although can produce some temporary numbness of the lower lip.

A relatively new option called Genioplasty for mild cases is to strengthen the chin prominence with the use of fat injections into the soft tissues of the chin area. The reliability of chin augmentation surgery has improved enormously in the last few years.

Each person has to be assessed to determine the best procedure of chin augmentation surgery for their individual needs.
