Types of Genioplasty

1. Sliding Genioplasty

   Sliding genioplasty is a surgical technique used to move the chin bone either forward or backward. In this procedure, the surgeon cuts the chin bone and repositions it, securing it with plates and screws. This technique is ideal for patients with a receding chin or those looking to increase or decrease chin projection without the use of implants.

2. Chin Augmentation (Implant Genioplasty)

   For patients seeking to enhance their chin’s size and definition, chin augmentation involves the insertion of biocompatible implants. These implants are placed over the existing chin bone to create a more prominent and well-defined chin. This technique is commonly chosen by patients who prefer a less invasive procedure compared to bone cutting and repositioning.

3. Reduction Genioplasty

   Reduction genioplasty is aimed at patients with an overly prominent chin. In this procedure, excess bone is carefully shaved down to reduce the chin's size and create a softer, more proportional look. This technique is ideal for those seeking to decrease chin projection and achieve better facial symmetry.

4. Vertical Lengthening or Shortening Genioplasty

   This technique modifies the height of the chin. It can involve moving the chin bone downwards for lengthening or trimming it for shortening. Patients with a vertically short or long chin can benefit from this procedure, achieving better overall facial balance.
