Hi, I am interested in doing chin surgery. I have attached afew pictures of my face. Do you recommend me to do use chin implant or slide the chin bone? What is the cost? Is there any other procedures recommended for my face?
Thank you
Thank you


i dont see your front face photo. but from the 2 photos, you have small chin.
The small chin is severe and the patient experiences microgenia to a degree that makes the jaw line not noticeable.
Genioplasty in this case will make the chin look very unnatural so the entire lower jaw needs to be pulled forward and the jaw line must look more defined through two-jaw surgery.
Surgical procedures on small chin
The procedure is decided based on the condition of the patient’s face and jaw bone. There are two types of surgery to correct small chins.
1. Osteotomy
The chin bone is cut horizontally and the portion that is set back is pulled forward and fixed.
Because the bone is shifted, the shape of the chin looks natural and the neckline looks more defined. It also reduces tension in the tip of the chin. General anesthesia is done.
2. Implant insertion
Gore-tex, silicone, medpore or other types of fillers are inserted into the tip of the chin, thereby enhancing the size or adjusting the positioning of the chin. Local anesthesia is used when the small chin is not severe.
