Changes to the chin can improve and the appearance of proportion and harmony of other facial features.
Chin Surgery is a procedure that reshapes the lower contours of the face. Chin Surgery is also called mentoplasty or genioplasty. The chin anchors the features of the face, and adjustments to the size, shape, and prominence of the chin can impact the face’s overall aesthetics. Changes to the chin can improve and the appearance of proportion and harmony of other facial features.
Chin Surgery can correct a large chin with protruding angles, or improve the presence of a recessed and overly subtle chin.

About Chin Surgery in Orange County
The exact dynamics of a restructured chin are guided by the individual patient’s anatomy and aesthetic desires.When discussing the chin, both the horizontal length (how far the chin extends outward from the jawbone) and vertical length (the distance from the lower lip to the tip of the chin) are considered.
Chin Reduction
If your chin protrudes further than you’d prefer, or gives your face a wider, fuller appearance, a chin reduction surgery can help. Your surgeon can carefully, skillfully access the lower jawbone and contour it to your specifications. Chin reduction surgery makes improvements across many facial dimensions.
You can request vertical reduction and/or horizontal setback to contour your profile in either depth and height. The edges of the jawbone that frame the chin can also be narrowed. This procedure is particularly popular with women seeking a more delicate, traditionally feminine contour to the lower face.
Chin Augmentation
On the other end of the spectrum, some chins need a bit of a boost to help them stand out. When a chin recedes back towards the neck when viewed in profile, it is a condition called retrogenia. Retrogenia can be remedied by adding volume to the chin, which can be accomplished in a number of ways. Your jawbone can be repositioned, and augmented with bone taken from other parts of the jaw, or areas of your body.
If using your own bone is not a viable option, chin implants may be the best method of adding volume to the lower face. Your surgeon will explain the possible procedures best for you, and the benefits of each option during your comprehensive consultation.
Procedure
Chin augmentation can be performed with chin implants or through a surgical lengthening of the bone. To insert a chin implant, we carefully conceal an incision along the interior of the mouth (under the lower lip) or beneath the chin. A pocket is created over the chin bone and the implant is gently put in place.
For a genioplasty that aims to improve the angles of the chin, the chin bone is separated, moved forward slightly, and surgically reattached with medical hardware. In other cases, pieces of bone from other areas are sculpted and attached to create a more prominent chin. Your doctor will discuss the benefits of each of these techniques during your individual consultation. The process must be tailored to your anatomy to deliver subtle yet stunning results.
In some cases, chin reduction surgery is the best way to achieve the desired outcome. In these instances, the chin bone is reduced or reshaped using a surgical burr, drill, or saw. You will be given the proper anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.
Results
You may not be able to see the results of your chin surgery immediately after your surgery. However, after the swelling subsides in the days and weeks afterward, you’ll slowly see your new chin emerge. After your chin surgery, you may notice an overall improvement in the balance of your facial features. Whether you want a smaller, more delicate chin, or a stronger chin that defines your jawline, a chin surgery can transform your appearance.
