Solutions to Weak Chin

Sliding genioplasty is able to not only address the length of the chin, but also to reposition the chin to an ideal orientation. Patients with weak chin with square face can also benefit from the procedure.

It is noteworthy that patients with weak 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.

Clinically, patients are often advised to have a thorough assessment with the plastic surgeon to determine the root cause of the condition. Chin implant may only be a temporary solution for weak chin.
