What is Chin Augmentation & Osseous Genioplasty?

Chin augmentation and osseous genioplasty are specialized surgical procedures designed to enhance chin shape, size, and projection for a more balanced, masculine profile. For those seeking male chin augmentation in San Diego, these procedures can address recessed chins or facial asymmetry. At FACES+, Dr. Steven R. Cohen utilizes advanced techniques to provide natural-looking results that complement each individual's facial structure, offering transformative solutions tailored to men.

Receding, Small Chin: The Surgical Solution to Facial Balance

The chin plays a crucial role in overall facial balance. An ideally proportioned chin enhances the masculine jawline, improves facial symmetry, and creates a more attractive profile. For men with a weak or receding chin, chin augmentation or osseous genioplasty significantly improves balance among the facial features. Dr. Cohen’s approach to chin enhancement combines precision with artistry, ensuring that the procedure is tailored to the individual for superior outcomes.

What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation involves placing a custom-shaped implant to increase the projection and prominence of the chin. This procedure is ideal for patients with a naturally small or recessed chin, bringing the chin into proportion with the rest of the face. The implant, made from biocompatible materials, is carefully selected and shaped to match the natural anatomy to achieve a natural balance among the features. Chin augmentation can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial surgeries, such as rhinoplasty or a facelift, for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

What is Osseous Genioplasty?

Osseous genioplasty, or sliding genioplasty, is an advanced surgical technique that involves repositioning the patient’s lower jaw to enhance shape and projection. Unlike chin implants, which add volume to the chin, osseous genioplasty shifts the bone into a more desirable position. This technique allows flexibility in addressing various chin issues, including asymmetry, vertical shortening or elongation, and forward or backward projection.

What is the Procedure?

Chin augmentation and osseous genioplasty procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. For chin augmentation, a small incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin, through which the custom-shaped implant is inserted and positioned over the chin bone. The implant is then secured, and the incision is closed with sutures.

Osseous genioplasty involves precise cuts in the chin bone through a small incision inside the mouth. The chin bone is then carefully repositioned to the desired location and secured with small plates and screws. Both procedures are performed with extreme attention to detail to ensure a natural-looking result that enhances the patient’s overall facial harmony.

Benefits of Chin Augmentation & Osseous Genioplasty:

Enhanced Facial Balance: Improves the proportion and harmony of facial features, particularly in relation to the nose and jawline.
