Genioplasty - Chin Surgery

 

Enhancing the Jawline Naturally and Harmoniously

Chin implant surgery (genioplasty) is a safe and effective technique aimed at improving the contour of the lower face. Through a minor procedure, the chin projection is enhanced, and facial profile balance is achieved, resulting in a symmetrical and attractive appearance.

It is an ideal solution for individuals with a small or recessed chin who want to define their jawline and facial angles without altering their natural expression.

 

Goals of Genioplasty

  • Increase chin projection
  • Improve jawline angles
  • Enhance harmony between the profile, nose, and lips
  • Correct facial asymmetry (especially when combined with rhinoplasty, liposuction, or facelift)

 

Who Is a Good Candidate?

  • Individuals with a small or underdeveloped chin
  • Those with profile asymmetry
  • People seeking a sharper jawline
  • Patients who want enhancement without bone surgery
  • Men and women aiming to emphasize masculine or feminine facial features

 

How Is the Procedure Performed?

  • Performed under local anesthesia or sedation (in-clinic or operating room)
  • Duration: 45–60 minutes
  • Incisions are discreetly placed to remain “invisible”
  • A custom-designed silicone implant is positioned with precision
  • Sutures are absorbable

Advantages

✔ Chin projection without bone osteotomy

✔ Natural, symmetrical results

✔ Improved jawline and profile definition

✔ Permanent outcome with no need for repeat sessions

✔ Can be combined with rhinoplasty, liposuction, or facelift

 

Recovery

  • Return to basic activities within 2–3 days
  • Swelling and mild sensitivity for 5–7 days
  • Avoid strenuous exercise
  • Stitches dissolve or are removed within 5–7 days
  • Final results are visible within 4–6 weeks
