What is Chin Surgery?
Chin Surgery, also known as Genioplasty. This improves one’s facial structure and also their self esteem. Such procedures are performed to improve the harmony of face, jaw, forehead etc.
Different Procedures of Chin Surgery
- Sliding Genioplasty. In this procedure, the surgeon cuts away a portion of the chin bone and slides it to reposition it correctly. This procedure can be performed to correct a chin that is too far out or too back. It can also correct misaligned chin and make the chin shorter or longer.
- Chin implants. It is done to reshape and give a fuller appearance to the chin. It also adds a layer of extra protection for the chin.
Types of Chin Surgery
- Chin Advancement. If the chin is far back, it makes the chin appear smaller. This gives the illusion of a long nose and disproportional face. In Chin Advancement, the jaw is shifted forward to make the face proportional. Silicone implants can also be used to give protection to the chin.
- Chin Push back. If the jaw bone, or chin is far out of the face, then it is pushed back.
- Side-to-side Alignment. If the chin is misaligned, that is, tilted to one side or higher up on one side and lower on the other; it is aligned to be symmetric.
- Vertical Alignment. Vertical changes make the chin longer or shorter.
