A receding or short chin can make the face appear imbalanced and lack refinement. Genioplasty performed directly by Dr. Huan utilizes modern techniques to help create a harmonious, natural V-line chin shape that suits the overall facial structure. Please read on for detailed information about this surgical method.

What is Genioplasty?

Genioplasty is a surgical method for chin shape correction by intervening directly in the chin bone structure. Dr. Huan cuts and moves the chin bone to a more suitable position to help improve the overall balance and harmony of the face.

Advantages of Genioplasty performed by Dr. Huan

Genioplasty performed by Dr. Huan is personalized to suit each individual’s facial structure. Dr. Huan focuses not only on creating a beautiful chin shape in isolation but also on harmony with the nose, lips, jawbone, and the entire face, aiming for natural and balanced results. Notable advantages include:

  • Application of Cone Beam CT3D technology to assess bone structure and build a suitable intervention plan before surgery.
  • Precise chin osteotomy combined with secure plate and screw fixation, ensuring the bone is placed in the correct position for long-term stability.
  • Advanced surgical method that adjusts the chin bone in 3D space: advancing forward, pushing backward, shifting left or right, or lengthening/shortening according to the client’s specific needs.
  • Application of modern techniques, allowing for either single-level or two-level Genioplasty depending on the actual condition.

Who is indicated for Genioplasty?

Genioplasty is typically considered for clients wishing to improve facial balance and harmony by adjusting their chin structure. Cases commonly indicated include:

  • Clients with a receding or short chin.
  • Clients with a long or excessively large chin.
  • Clients with an asymmetrical or imbalanced chin.
  • Clients desiring a more harmonious V-line facial appearance.
  • Clients whose chin structure is not proportionate to the overall face.

Notable Genioplasty techniques applied by Dr. Huan

Genioplasty directly performed by Dr. Huan combines in-depth examination, CT3D imaging technology, and precise bone processing techniques. Depending on the specific defect, the technique can be adjusted as follows:

  • Receding chin: The chin bone is moved forward, providing better projection for the lower face.
  • Long chin: A chin shortening method is applied to help the overall face become more balanced and soft.
  • Protruding chin: The chin bone is moved backward to a suitable position.
  • Short chin: The chin is lengthened according to appropriate proportions.
  • Large, wide chin: The chin bone is narrowed to create a compact shape that harmonizes with the jawline.
  • Asymmetrical chin: The axis of the deviated chin bone is corrected to improve asymmetry in the lower part of the face.
  • In cases of severe chin recession, the doctor may consider a two-level Genioplasty to increase the bone contact area.
