Genioplasty surgery can be done from the inside of the mouth, leaving no visible scars. Chin surgery, also known as genioplasty, alters the length and protrusion of the chin. Sliding Genioplasty is the name of the procedure. Chin surgery is usually done under general anesthesia and is often performed in conjunction with other procedures as part of a larger facial cosmetic surgery plan or as part of corrective jaw surgery.
The surgeon makes an incision through the gum on the inside lower lip to access the jawbone and chin, leaving no visible scars on the face. The surgeon may recommend a chin implant to treat a receding chin. The implant will be placed either through the mouth or a little hidden incision under the chin by the surgeon.
