A short or receding chin is balanced by moving it forward or downward, or by supplementing it with an implant.
Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure that improves the balance of the profile by correcting a receding chin, a short chin, or a crooked chin. There are two methods: osteotomy (genu reshaping), which involves cutting, relocating, and fixing the chin bone, and a method that uses implants for correction.
Osteotomy allows the chin bone to be freely moved forward, downward, left, and right, enabling the correction of asymmetry, whereas implants simply add volume but have a limited range of movement.
Since the procedure is performed via the inside of the mouth, there are no scars, but temporary sensory loss may occur. Harmonious results are achieved when designed in conjunction with square jaw and double jaw surgery.
Osteotomy is suitable if asymmetry or significant movement is required, while implants are appropriate for simple volume enhancement. The decision depends on the condition.
