A genioplasty is an alternative to the chin implant. By using a patients own bone, the surgeon can change the projection, height, shape and proportion of a person’s chin. It therefore offers more versatility than an implant chin augmentation, which can really only give the chin more projection and to some degree change the shape. The results of a sliding or osseous genioplasty are dramatic, making the face and its other features more proportional. A genioplasty can move the patient’s chin forward or backward, up or down and even make it wider and more square or narrower and more rounded. […]
Chin augmentation surgery is designed to improve facial proportion, rejuvenate or reconstruct the contours of your face. Genioplasties come in a few varieties and they bring back contour and/or proportion to your chin, jawline and neck line . Genioplasties are also used to to give it a more youthful look, changing a full round or square fave into a more striking “V” line face.

The shape and size of our chins has a greater impact on our overall appearance than most of us would think. A chin that doesn’t project far enough will make our faces appear disproportionate and disharmonious as will an overly short or long chin.
Fortunately, these issues can be addressed through chin reshaping (genioplasty). A skilled craniofacial surgeon can use one of two techniques — sliding genioplasty or chin implant placement — to significantly improve their patients’ appearance.
ACHIEVING GREAT RESULTS
Chin augmentation works by correcting disproportionate facial features. Patients who suffer from an unusually small chin (micogenia), excess chin height, a disproportionate […]
Most of us believe that their aesthetic treatment should targets specific facial features, however, the best results can only be achieved when a more holistic approach is taken.TREATING THE ENTIRE FACEMany people who are unhappy with their appearance believe that altering their nose will provide the kind of improvement they desire. A study conducted by the University of Verona, Italy, and published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery has found that this approach may not have the desired effect. Instead, the study found that the best results are achieved when a patient’s nose and chin are treated together.

In both the United States and Canada, chin implants are becoming the most popular plastic surgery trend. Between 2010 and 2011, the spike in popularity of the procedure was 71%.

While chin augmentation, technically known as genioplasty, is designed to improve the chin for a more balanced profile, our craniofacial plastic surgeon has found that for some patients, another benefit also exists: it can rejuvenate the neck and jawline.A neck lift or face lift is recommended for addressing tissue laxity in the area of the neck and lower face. This cosmetic surgical procedure repositions and removes excess skin and fat while also tightening lax muscles. The degree of laxity and droop of facial soft tissues is related to aging, sun exposure, smoking and genetics. A major determinant of the extent […]

Receding chins are a major issue for peoples confidence. Men, for example, often hide their weak chins under beards. This is because a prominent jaw is attractive and associated with masculinity and virility.
