Operation to correct a deformity of the chin to achieve a natural aesthetically and balanced pleasing appearance.

Why have Chin surgery?

Correct deformity of the chin that a patient feels detracts from their features.

Reduce the size of the chin in a patient who feels and whose chin is larger than the normal range.

Improve the balance of the face with the forehead, nose and chin.

Improve self-confidence especially in patients whose chin is small in relation to the other facial features.

The normal chin is in balance with the forehead and nose. The aesthetics of the face requires that each part is in harmony with the others. Thus an overly protruding chin or one that is very small (retruded) detracts from the other normal features. This imbalance can have a major impact on the psychological well being of the patient. Patients can suffer low self-esteem and become withdrawn. Surgery either to reduce or enhance (augment) the chin aims to restore the balance and provide a natural aesthetic appearance.

Remember surgery will not change you or solve any life crises, but should boost your self-confidence and enjoyment of life.

In order to achieve the optimum result following surgery to the chin, a clear understanding of the patient’s concerns and careful examination of the facial features is vital. The operations include Chin Augmentation (enlargement) and Chin Reduction and can be combined with other operations such as Rhinoplasty, Facelift, Liposuction to the neck and Cheek Augmentation.

The type of operation required to achieve the best result for you will depend on the deformity(s) and your goals and will be discussed at the time of your Consultation.
