Solutions for Blunt Chin

Patients with blunt chin have the options to receive chin implant, or undergo sliding genioplasty to extend the length of the chin. In contrast to temporary injectable filler and chin implant, sliding geniolplasty adds dimension and enhance the projection to the chin.

Patients with blunt chin often have shorter facial contour, protruding upper lips, undefined chin and neckline, and teeth malocclusion due to a narrow dental arch. Moreover, sleep apnea and tempor-mandibular disorders should also be taken into consideration before the surgery.

Patients considering this procedure is advised to have a thorough assessment with the plastic surgeon to determine the root cause of the conditon. Sliding genioplasty may often be a better option in comparison to chin implants.
