About Chin Reshaping (Mentoplasty)
Chin reshaping (mentoplasty) enhances your facial profile by augmenting, reducing, or repositioning the chin. At Aestique Clinic, we offer multiple techniques including chin implants, sliding genioplasty, and non-surgical options to achieve improved facial harmony and balanced proportions.
Chin reshaping (mentoplasty or genioplasty) improves facial balance by augmenting a receding chin or reducing an overly prominent one. At Aestique Clinic, we offer both surgical chin implants and sliding genioplasty (bone repositioning) to address chin concerns, as well as non-surgical options using dermal fillers for temporary enhancement.
The chin plays a crucial role in facial harmony and profile aesthetics. A well-proportioned chin balances the nose, jawline, and neck, and chin augmentation is frequently combined with rhinoplasty to achieve optimal facial balance.
Chin Reshaping Options
- Chin Augmentation with Implants: Silicone implants to enhance chin projection and definition.
- Sliding Genioplasty: Surgical repositioning of the chin bone for precise adjustment.
- Chin Reduction: Reshaping an overly prominent chin for better facial balance.
- Non-Surgical Chin Enhancement: Dermal fillers for temporary chin augmentation without surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a chin implant or filler better?
Chin implants provide permanent results ideal for significant augmentation. Fillers are excellent for subtle enhancement or as a "trial run" before committing to surgery. Fillers last 12-24 months and require maintenance.
Can chin surgery be combined with rhinoplasty?
Yes, rhinoplasty and chin augmentation are one of the most complementary procedure combinations in facial surgery. Addressing both can dramatically improve facial balance and profile.
Will chin surgery affect my bite?
Chin implants do not affect the bite. Genioplasty (bone repositioning) is carefully planned to avoid dental and bite changes. Your surgeon will evaluate your bite during consultation.
