What is Genioplasty?
Genioplasty (chin surgery) surgically repositions the chin bone to correct size, projection, or asymmetry issues. Unlike chin implants, genioplasty uses your own bone for permanent, natural-feeling results—moving the chin forward, backward, up, down, or rotating to correct asymmetry.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Genioplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty for optimal facial balance. Combined surgery means one recovery period and additional savings on anesthesia and facility fees — many patients find this the most efficient approach.
Insider Note:
Choose a maxillofacial or craniofacial surgeon rather than a general plastic surgeon for genioplasty. Bone surgery expertise is crucial for predictable, safe results and avoiding nerve damage.
