Chin Advancement
The position and shape of the chin has a tremendous influence on the shape and perception of one's face. Cosmetic chin surgery is usually performed to correct a receded, weak chin or a chin that is too strong and extends forward.
A receded chin can be treated with two different options: a placement of a chin implant or bringing the chin bone forward (chin osteotomy). As a general guideline, chin implants are used when small amounts of chin advancement are needed. A chin implant is made of solid silicone and is available in different sizes. It is placed over the bony chin through an incision inside the lower lip or under the chin. A chin osteotomy is a technique, in which the bony chin is cut and moved forward to correct the receded chin. It is usually performed when the amount of chin advancement needed is significant,
Changing the position and the look of the chin has one of the most dramatic effects of all of the facial procedures. Facial “harmony” is a key component of patients’ self-esteem so choosing a skillful physician is essential.
