Chin Correction
Sculpt a stronger, more balanced chin profile with genioplasty or chin implants.
What is Chin Correction?
Chin correction (genioplasty or mentoplasty) reshapes the chin to create better facial balance, profile harmony, and jawline definition. Dr. Sarika Gangwar uses bone repositioning (sliding genioplasty) or custom implants depending on the patient's anatomy and goals, delivering a more defined jawline and harmonious facial profile. Chin correction often has a dramatic impact on overall facial aesthetics.
Why is Chin Correction Needed?
A weak, receding, or overly prominent chin disrupts facial proportion and can significantly affect how others perceive your appearance. Chin correction restores perfect balance between the nose, lips, and chin — often producing dramatic improvement in overall facial aesthetics and profile harmony.
Who is Eligible?
- Adults with chin disproportion affecting facial balance
- Good dental and jaw health
- Facial bone growth complete (typically 18+)
- Good overall health
- Realistic expectations
The Procedure — Step by Step
Comprehensive Facial Analysis
Cephalometric analysis, imaging, and facial proportion assessment to plan precise chin repositioning. 3D visualization shows expected results.
Anesthesia
General anesthesia for sliding genioplasty; local with sedation for implant placement.
Surgical Correction
Bone is carefully repositioned (genioplasty) or a custom implant is precisely placed through a concealed intraoral incision.
Stabilization & Closure
Bone fixation with plates and screws if needed. Incisions closed with dissolvable sutures. Supportive bandage applied.
Recovery Timeline
Day 1–3
Chin swelling and mild numbness (temporary). Pain easily managed with medication. Rest and head elevation important.
Week 1–2
Swelling subsides noticeably. Soft diet gradually transitions to normal eating. Numbness resolves.
Week 3–6
Return to full activities including exercise. Final contour emerges beautifully.
Expected Results
A more defined, proportionate chin that enhances your entire facial profile dramatically. Results are permanent. Most patients report dramatically improved confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
Safety & Quality Assurance
Procedure performed with careful nerve monitoring to preserve chin sensation. Dr. Gangwar uses anatomically precise techniques refined through 1200+ procedures. Modern biocompatible implants are used when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions about Chin Correction
It depends on your anatomy. Sliding genioplasty offers more flexibility for repositioning the entire chin, while implants are simpler and less invasive for augmentation-only cases.
Yes. Modern biocompatible implants (silicone or Gore-Tex) are well-tolerated and have excellent long-term safety records spanning decades.
