The shape of the chin significantly influences the contours of our face and thus also our aesthetics. A receding or strongly protruding chin can quickly cause the proportions of the face to appear inharmonious and can be a great strain for those affected.<\/p>\n

A chin correction can help here. The purpose of chin correction is to give the face a harmonious overall appearance. Therefore the chin profile is adjusted by either enlargement or reduction.<\/p>\n

Chin correction (medical genioplasty) involves surgical procedures to reduce or enlarge the size of the chin. The indications for this procedure, which is usually performed on an outpatient basis, include both purely aesthetic and medical reasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Possibilities of chin correction<\/h2>\n

A chin plastic surgery is an operative change of the chin area: A receding chin is shifted forward, a protruding chin is reduced in size. In our practice it is possible to combine this chin displacement with a false bite correction (dysgnathia treatment). Often, however, it is not a simultaneous malocclusion correction, but a purely aesthetic problem. Many sufferers are dissatisfied with their chin which is too large or too small and would like to see their chin shape optimised.<\/p>\n

Chin corrections are carried out on an outpatient basis and under general anaesthesia. We preferably to work via the oral vestibule, the space between the teeth and the lower lip. In this way, we avoid external incisions that lead to visible scars.<\/p>\n

All procedures are visualised in advance and the expected result is discussed with the patient. In all cases a 3D image (DVT) is made in advance in order to accurately represent the bony structures of the lower jaw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Enlargement of the chin (chin advancement)<\/h2>\n

With the receding chin, the lower jaw is shifted back. This leads to an overbite in the area of the incisors and in many cases to a difficult closure of the mouth. Especially in the profile, the misalignment becomes clear by a concise advanced mouth-nose-area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Reduction of the chin (backward displacement of the chin)<\/h2>\n

he protruding chin is characterised by a particularly pronounced chin. In profile it pushes the forehead and nose through its dominant position into the background and often ensures a somewhat unwelcome appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
