The choice of the most appropriate one depends on how you wish to alter the shape of your chin and the results you wish to achieve. There are a number of different chin surgery procedures. In some cases, instead of surgery, patients opt for dermal filler treatments to address minor contour changes to their chin or jaw area. Other jaw-altering procedures include osteotomy (whereby the jaw bone is altered or realigned changed) and genioplasty (this procedure for shortening the jaw, involves wiring/screwing the jaw in a new alignment and can have a significant recovery period). This procedure changes the profile of your face and is often combined with nose surgery or rhinoplasty. Implants are available in different shapes and sizes, depending on the look you wish to achieve.

As it’s not possible to eliminate every line and wrinkle with a neck lift, some patients may also undergo injectables or non-surgical skin rejuvenation such as chemical peels or laser treatment to get the best possible results.Ĭhin augmentation usually involves inserting a silicone-based implant through a small incision inside the mouth, or under the chin, and positioning it against the bone of the jaw. This type of surgery is often combined with other facial procedures such as a face or brow lift. The aim is to restore a more youthful profile. Many patients consider procedures like a neck lift or chin liposuction to counter the effects of aging, to add definition to a sagging neckline or to eliminate jowls.
