Chin Augmentation (Chin Implant)

Chin Augmentation (Chin Implant or Sliding Genioplasty) Introduction

A chin that lacks projection can lead to facial disproportion and disharmony, while an excessively short or long chin can also disrupt the facial balance. In a study by surgeons at the Department of Otolaryngology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, titled “Vertical Incision Intraoral Silicone Chin Augmentation,” all patients who underwent chin augmentation with implants expressed amazing satisfaction with their results, both in terms of function and aesthetics. This is why Edelstein Cosmetic is proud to specialize in this intricate procedure, offering results in Toronto that set the bar for chin surgery. Keep reading if you find yourself seeking a life upgrade with chin augmentation that will change your life. 

Chin Augmentation- what

What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation in Toronto is designed to enhance the contour of your chin with an implant or sliding genioplasty (using the chin bone alone without an implant). Chin augmentation works by correcting disproportionate facial features. Patients who suffer from an unusually small chin (microgenia), excess chin height, a disproportionate lower jaw (mandible) size (retrognathia or prognathia), or jaw or chin asymmetry are all good candidates for the treatment.

Depending on the chin abnormalities and particular goals of the patient, our team of providers will choose whether to perform the surgery using sliding genioplasty or implant. Each technique has particular indications and advantages, meaning that the procedure of choice must be tailored to each patient.

We also treat people with excessively prominent chins using a chin reduction procedure.

Chin Augmentations We Offer

Sliding Genioplasty

Sliding genioplasty is a surgical procedure that enhances the chin’s appearance by repositioning the chin bone (mandible) for improved facial balance, avoiding the use of implants.

The surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth to access the chin bone, then carefully cuts and slides it forwards or backwards, up or down, depending on what is needed, securing it with plates and screws. This allows for very precise adjustments to achieve a more natural look.

Sliding genioplasty can be performed alone or alongside other facial surgeries, like rhinoplasty, for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Chin Implants

Chin implants enhance the shape and size of the chin for a more balanced facial profile. This procedure is ideal for individuals with a weak or recessed chin and can significantly improve facial harmony.

During the surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision, typically under the chin or inside the mouth, to create a pocket for the implant made of biocompatible materials like silicone or medpor. The implant is then positioned to achieve the desired contour.

Chin implants are available in various shapes and sizes for customization based on each patient’s unique facial structure. This procedure can be done alone or alongside other surgeries, such as rhinoplasty, to enhance overall facial aesthetics.

Chin Reduction

Chin reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of an oversized or protruding chin for a more balanced facial profile. It’s perfect for individuals who feel their chin is too prominent.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes incisions inside the mouth or under the chin to access the bone. They then remove a portion of the chin bone and reshape it to achieve the desired size and contour, securing it with plates and screws.

Chin reduction enhances jawline definition and improves overall facial proportions.
