What is chin surgery?

Chin surgery adjusts the shape and position of the chin — augmenting a short or weak chin with a medical-grade implant, or reducing an over-projected one — to balance the side profile.

Your surgeon assesses your profile, bone structure, and goals to choose the right implant size or bone adjustment, through a small incision inside the mouth or under the chin.

Chin Surgery

What it addresses

01

Short / recessed chin

A chin set back makes the face look short and the nose more prominent.

02

Asymmetric chin

A chin tip tilted to one side leaves the two halves of the face unbalanced.

03

Wide / square chin

A broad or angular tip makes the lower face read as heavy.

04

Weak jawline

Loose fat under the chin blurs the line between chin and neck.

Facial proportion

In facial aesthetics the face divides into three equal thirds, and the chin closes the lower third. A few millimetres too short or too long shifts the balance of the whole face — so the chin is planned against the entire face, not in isolation.

LengthMeasured against the lower lip and nasal line so it neither over- nor under-projects.
SymmetryThe chin tip should sit on the facial midline when viewed head-on.
Side profileChin, nose, and forehead should fall on one balanced line.

Frequently asked questions

Implant vs. filler for the chin?

An implant is permanent and supports structure better; filler is temporary and suits minor refinement.

Can a chin implant shift?

Correct placement and fixation by a specialist greatly reduce the chance of shifting.

Where is the incision?

Usually hidden inside the mouth with no external scar; some techniques use a small incision under the chin.

Is it painful?

Tightness and swelling are expected at first and controlled with pain relief, improving within a few days.
