Genioplasty (Chin Surgery)

“What Is Genioplasty?”

Genioplasty (chin surgery) is a specialized facial contouring procedure that balances facial proportions by correcting a receding (weak) chin, protruding chin, long chin, short chin, or asymmetrical chin. The chin is the key focal point of the lower face – a well-defined chin creates a slim, balanced, and three-dimensional facial outline, while a weak or imbalanced chin makes the face look round, undefined, or disproportionate.

VIP Genioplasty offers two customized approaches: non-surgical implant augmentation (for mild chin issues) and orthognathic osteotomy (surgical bone adjustment, for severe chin deformities) – both delivering natural, permanent, and proportionate results.

Doctor’s Message

“Chin balance is the foundation of facial harmony. Many patients focus on nose or jawline surgery, but a weak chin is the root of a flat, undefined face. At VIP, we design the chin based on your golden facial ratio (1:1:1 forehead-nose-chin proportion) – not just making it longer or sharper, but creating a natural chin that complements your nose, lips, and jawline. Our genioplasty ensures balanced, three-dimensional facial contours with no artificial or overdone appearance.”

VIP Genioplasty Surgical Methods

Genioplasty Surgical Process

Ideal Candidates for Genioplasty

• Patients with receding (weak) chin causing undefined jawline
• Patients with protruding, long, short, or asymmetrical chin
• Patients with disproportionate facial ratio (unbalanced forehead-nose-chin)
• Patients with round, flat, or undefined lower face
• Patients wanting slim, three-dimensional facial contours
• Patients unsatisfied with non-surgical chin fillers (temporary results)
• Patients needing combined chin correction with nose/jaw surgery

VIP Genioplasty Core Advantages

• Golden ratio-based design (balanced, natural facial proportions)
• No external scars (all incisions hidden inside the mouth)
• Dual method options (implant/osteotomy) for all chin conditions
• 3D CT-guided precision (safe, accurate bone/implant placement)
• Permanent results (no reoperation or temporary fillers)
• Combined with jawline contouring (slimmer lower face effect)
• Minimal downtime (fast return to daily life)

Before & After

* Temporary side effects include intra-oral swelling, bruising, mild numbness, or tightness (resolves in 1-2 weeks). All incisions are intra-oral with no visible facial scars. Results vary by bone structure, age, and healing speed. Avoid hard food, excessive mouth opening, and facial pressure for 1 month post-op. Titanium plates (for osteotomy) are biocompatible and usually left permanently. Please discuss all risks with your surgeon before surgery.

Post-Operative Care

• Apply cold compresses for 3-5 days to reduce swelling
• Eat soft/pureed food for 2 weeks (avoid hard, chewy, spicy food)
• Maintain oral hygiene with gentle mouthwash (no harsh brushing)
• Sleep with head elevated for 1 week to reduce swelling
• Avoid alcohol, smoking, and intense exercise for 4 weeks
• No facial massages, pressure, or chin touching for 2 months
