About This Treatment

Chin augmentation using silicone implants or sliding genioplasty (bone advancement) enhances chin projection and facial balance. Chinese maxillofacial surgeons excel in both implant placement and bone-cutting techniques, often combining chin work with jaw contouring for comprehensive lower face harmonization. 3D CT planning ensures precise, predictable outcomes at a fraction of international pricing.

Procedure Steps
1

Facial Analysis & Imaging

Cephalometric analysis and 3D imaging determine ideal chin position relative to facial proportions

Duration: 45-60 minutes
2

Procedure Selection

Surgeon recommends implant (for mild enhancement) or sliding genioplasty (for significant changes)

Duration: 30 minutes
3

Surgical Enhancement

Under general anesthesia, implant is placed or chin bone is cut and advanced through an intraoral incision

Duration: 1-2 hours
4

Fixation & Recovery

Implant is secured or bone is fixed with titanium plates; compression dressing is applied

Duration: 30 minutes
Benefits
  • Dramatically improves facial profile and balance
  • Permanent results with either implant or bone technique
  • No visible external scars with intraoral approach
  • Can be combined with rhinoplasty for total profile enhancement
Considerations
  • Implant shifting or asymmetry over time
  • Temporary numbness of the lower lip
  • Bone resorption under silicone implants long-term
