Genioplasty is essentially a reconstructive procedure that patients requiring a chin repositioning opt for. This type of plastic surgery corrects a receding chin, any misalignment in the chin and does away with chin excess.

Genioplasty is a common procedure among patients who have a small or receding chin or a chin that is not in proportion with other facial features. Very often such a chin makes the nose look overly prominent damaging the over-all facial appearance.

Genioplasty is also used for cosmetic enhancements when combined with procedures like rhinoplasty, neck lifts, neck liposuction, and laser skin resurfacing. However, doctors recommend such a combination exclusively for older patients.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, Beverly Hills board certified plastic surgeons perform genioplasty along with mentoplasty [regular chin surgery] procedures.

Our surgeons take into account factors like age, medical history, skin texture, bone structure and the general health of a patient before giving the go-ahead to a patient for a surgery. We utilize x-rays to determine the best type of chin repositioning methods that are appropriate for a patient.
