chin surgery

A genioplasty or repositioning of the chin bone can transform facial appearance. Advancing the chin bone tightens the musculature on the floor of the mouth and helps to correct jowls and a sagging neck.

Chin implants have a similar effect but do not tighten the musculature. Some chin implants may erode into the bone over time lessening the initial effect and causing other complications with teeth and local nerves and genioplasty is often a better option if a significant advancement is contemplated.

BEFORE	AFTER
		This patient had a combination of a recessive chin and a cleft chin. I have corrected the cleft using a dermis graft and an intraoral incision. The chin bone has then been advanced (advancement genioplasty).

Genioplasty (chin advancement) is performed using an incision inside the mouth. Dissolving stitches are used. It does not alter the position of the teeth. It can substantially alter a persons profile and facial balance and harmony.
