Chin Surgery (Genioplasty)
Genioplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or repositions the chin to improve facial balance, profile harmony, and jawline definition. If your chin feels weak, recessed, asymmetric, or overly prominent, genioplasty may help create a more proportionate look—without changing what makes your features uniquely yours. Dr. Daria Hamrah focuses on natural-looking results that complement the rest of your face.
What Is Chin Surgery (Genioplasty)?
Genioplasty (also called chin surgery) is a procedure designed to improve the shape, position, or size of the chin. It can be performed to:
- Increase chin projection (chin advancement)
- Decrease an overly prominent chin (chin reduction)
- Improve chin symmetry and alignment
- Support better lower-face balance and a stronger profile
Some patients explore genioplasty as an alternative to a chin implant, or as part of a broader facial plan.
What to Expect
Your consultation is focused on facial proportions, bite/jaw relationships, symmetry, and what “balanced” looks like for your features. Dr. Hamrah will discuss your goals and recommend the approach that best matches your anatomy.
In general, you can expect:
- A personalized plan for chin position and shape
- Surgical technique selected based on your goals (repositioning vs reshaping)
- Swelling early on, with gradual refinement as healing progresses
- A result designed to look natural, not “overdone”
Who Is a Candidate for Chin Surgery (Genioplasty)?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Feel your chin is recessed, small, or lacks definition
- Want improved profile balance without changing your overall identity
- Have noticeable chin asymmetry or an off-center chin appearance
- Want a more defined jawline and stronger lower-face structure
- Are seeking a long-lasting change and have realistic expectations
During your consultation, Dr. Hamrah will confirm whether genioplasty is the best fit or whether a different approach may better support your goals.
Recovery + Results
Recovery varies depending on the surgical plan and individual healing, but many patients can return to routine activities with appropriate care and guidance.
Common recovery notes include:
- Swelling and tightness during early healing
- Gradual improvement in comfort and appearance over time
- Refinement that continues as tissues settle
- Results that support improved facial harmony, projection, and symmetry
You will receive clear aftercare instructions, and your healing will be monitored through follow-up visits.
