Chin augmentation or Genioplasty can be done in many ways. Implants, fillers and surgery are all possible methods.
Chin implants are a procedure in which a medical grade silicone implant is placed securely on top of your chin bone. The entire procedure is performed using local anesthesia and is usually takes 1 hour.

On the other hand, chin advancement, also known as "sliding genioplasty", uses your own bone to enhance your chin. In chin advancement, the bottom part of your chin bone is cut horizontally, brought forward and secured in its new position with medical grade screws. After your chin advancement, you will be closely monitored in the hospital for about 2 days, after which you may be discharged with instruction to follow up in about 7 days. In addition to increasing the size of your chin, sliding genioplasty can also reduce the size of your chin.

People with diseases need surgical clearance from their medical specialist.
