Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation (genioplasty) involves enlarging a ‘weak’ chin in order to balance the facial profile and facial aesthetics. A ‘weak’ or under-projecting chin may give an appearance that is undesirable for many people. Due to imbalance of the upper to lower face, a ‘weak’ or under-projecting chin can give the appearance that the nose is larger than it actually is and often people seek reduction in nose size (rhinoplasty) when really the chin is a major contributing factor to their concerns.

Before & After
Why Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty)?
‘Weak’ chins are usually due to relative underdevelopment of the lower jaw. This is often associated with mal-occlusion or non alignment of the lower and upper teeth. The lower teeth don’t come forward enough to fit with the upper teeth in the normal way. When this is corrected with jaw surgery by moving the lower jaw forward, the chin is automatically brought forward and the ‘weak’ chin is addressed. Often, however, at an early age, orthodontics (or braces) is used to tilt the bottom teeth forward and the ‘weak’ chin remains.
- The nose looks larger than it actually is
- The neck line is not defined
- There is an imbalance of the face
- Chin augmentation (genioplasty) addresses these areas
- Chin augmentation (genioplasty) is OFTEN done at the same time as rhinoplasty.
- Chin augmentation (genioplasty) can be done in two main ways, a chin implant or sliding genioplasty.
We offer digital imaging, where photos are edited to demonstrate your desired result following chin augmentation.
