Chin surgery, or genioplasty**, enhances facial aesthetics and profile balance. This procedure corrects a weak or recessed chin, providing better facial harmony and proportion.

Many patients visit AmayaClinic® seeking greater chin projection, which enhances facial definition and improves the overall profile.

Our Patients Ask: How is a genioplasty (chin surgery) performed?

There are several techniques to enhance the chin. In severe cases, osteotomies may be performed, which involve cutting the bone to move the chin forward.. 

However, in most cases, we use a small silicone implant, which is the simplest and most effective option. This procedure, performed under general anesthesia, takes approximately 60 minutes and is done through a small incision inside the mouth, ensuring no visible scars.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Surgery

Are there different types of chin implants?

Yes, chin implants come in various lengths, projections, and shapes. The right choice depends on your facial structure, the degree of projection you desire, and your personal preferences, always aiming for a natural and harmonious result.

Genioplasty is ideal for individuals looking to improve their facial proportions, especially those who feel their chin lacks balance with the rest of their face.

No, genioplasty is performed through intraoral incisions, meaning no visible scars are left on the skin. This ensures a smooth recovery and a clean, natural-looking result.
