Chin augmentation is performed either with a silicone implant or by moving a segment of the chin bone (also known as osseous genioplasty or sliding genioplasty) to improve the appearance of a small chin. Chin reduction surgery, another type of osseous genioplasty, aims at correcting a protruding chin by removing excess bone. Chin surgery usually gives the face more balance and symmetry. DISCOVER THE JW DIFFERENCE Plastic surgery on the face requires years of surgical experience and judgement honed most appropriately through a plastic surgery training program. JW Plastic Surgery chin surgeons are craniofacial trained plastic surgeons meaning that they have specific expertise in modifications of the craniofacial skeleton. Because of this, we are able to offer a broader variety of cosmetic craniofacial surgeries than most other cosmetic surgery practices. CHIN IMPLANT vs SLIDING GENIOPLASTY There are a couple ways to augment the chin. One approach is to use a chin implant. Silicone implants are the most popular type of implant for chin surgery. This solid silicone implant cannot rupture or leak into the body. It provides a very natural looking shape and feel. However, a more effective method of chin augmentation is the sliding genioplasty procedure in which the chin bone is cut and the bony segment is advanced and then secured with a small titanium plate that can neither be seen nor felt following surgery. This allows the surgeon better control of the actual projection of the chin without the need for an implant. Chin fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane, can be used to augment the chin. However, these filers are only temporary and usually last only a several months. If you like the results from the fillers you may want to consider having chin surgery to achieve a permanent result.
