What is Genioplasty?
One of the most important parts that define your facial proportion is the chin. The distance used for the measurement of facial length or ratio is from the end of the forehead to the edge of the chin. In general, an ideal facial proportion perceived is the brow ridge-nose-chin ratio of 1:1:0.8-0,9, and genioplasty could help to achieve it.
Genioplasty involves reshaping your jaw bone and moving it forward for a slimmer and sharper chin appearance. At our affiliated clinic, the procedure also makes sure that the protrusion effect is harmonious with the side silhouette for the proper desired results.
How It Works
The key achievement for genioplasty includes:
· A slender line that focuses on the chin
· An appropriate length that fits the facial proportions
· A protrusion harmonious with the side silhouettes
Genioplasty can be used to correct the long and wide chin as well as the recessed chin. The procedure focuses on cutting the excess jaw bone and realigning it to enhance a better facial proportion that fits you the best.

FAQ
