Chin Surgery (mentoplasty)

Chin surgery is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone.

Sometimes bone from the jaw itself can be moved forward in an operation called a mentoplasty or genioplasty. Alternatively, shaped silicone implants can be used to give more projection to the chin. 

Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery or procedures to a patient having a rhinoplasty in order to achieve better facial proportions, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. 

Additionally, your plastic surgeon may suggest use of approved gel filler material as an alternative for providing augmentation of the chin area that may last for a shorter duration.
