How to elongate a short chin?

Surgery Ria 2021.01.30



Facial proportions and symmetry are essential for optimal facial beauty. Chin augmentation can significantly reshape the facial features and improve the person’s overall look.


Typically, a chin implant is recommended for those people who have short and recessive chin and wish to push it forward. The implant will give more shape to the jawline and balance the facial curve.





While women can balance out their facial features, men can get a more masculine look with chin implants.


Chin augmentation aka Genioplasty enlarges the undeveloped chin with the biocompatible implant that creates a balanced facial profile. The implant is inserted over your existing chin bone via a small incision made underneath the chin. The silicone implant is positioned in the chin area and secured into the right position.


Then the small stitches are placed on the incisional area. The scarring is minimal since the incision will hide under the chin in a relatively concealed location.


The operation is administered under the local anesthesia and IV sedation. You will be prescribed antibiotics and pain-relieving medications to get rid of the discomfort and swelling after the surgery. 6 months after the surgery your chin will get a beautiful shape and will perfectly balance with your facial features.
