Chin Plastic Surgery

CHIN

  • A well-defined chin is crucial for maintaining facial proportions and balance. Common concerns include a receding or weak chin, an overly prominent chin, or a larger-than-expected chin.
  • Many clinicians mistakenly believe that chin issues can be resolved simply through implant surgery. However, several underlying soft and hard tissue anomalies contribute to chin deformities, and the management of these issues varies.
  • With extensive clinical experience and practice dedicated exclusively to facial surgery, Mr Mattine offers unique expertise and a deep understanding of various chin deformities. He can provide you with a comprehensive and diverse range of personalised treatment options, including:

Genioplasty

This procedure involves performing an osteotomy, which is a surgical cut in the bone, to adjust the position of the chin in various directions. By using this technique, we can change the height, width, and shape of the chin. The fragmented segment of bone can be repositioned to achieve the desired chin shape and size, ultimately restoring ideal facial balance, symmetry, and proportions. Additionally, this surgery can significantly enhance the jawline and improve the definition of the angle between the face and neck.

 
Chin Implant

This surgical procedure involves the use of an implant to enhance a receding chin, improving both its prominence and, to a lesser extent, its height. A well-chosen implant can further enhance the shape and contour of the chin and jawline. Mr. Mattine has extensive experience with various types of implants, including customized, patient-specific implants created from high-resolution CT scans designed for each individual patient.

Mentoplasty

Patients often express concerns about two main issues regarding their chin appearance: a cleft chin, characterized by a Y-shaped dimple in the center, or a very prominent chin caused by excess soft tissue, commonly referred to as a “witch’s chin.” Mentoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the underlying soft tissue, particularly the muscles, to eliminate the cleft and reduce the prominence of the chin. This procedure ultimately aims to improve the overall shape and form of the chin.

 
Chin Reduction

This procedure is especially relevant for patients with a pointed chin, sometimes referred to as a “witch’s chin.” During surgery, the surgeon will shave, reduce, and reshape the bone and/or soft tissue structure of the anterior chin. This aims to correct the chin deformity and ultimately enhance the form, shape, and overall harmony of the face.

Facial Fillers

Facial fillers can enhance facial contour and improve chin definition. However, their effects are short-lived and often require repetition. They effectively simulate the results of chin implants, allowing individuals to explore temporary changes before committing to permanent surgical options.

 
Liposculpture (Fat grafting)

This technique uses fat to enhance a receding or weak chin. It has been shown to provide reliable and relatively lasting improvements in the patient’s profile.
