Genioplasty, or chin surgery, is a procedure for improving the aesthetic appearance of the chin by altering its projection. An incision is made inside the lip near the jaw line so the mandible can be shaped to reduce prominence. For chin augmentation, an implant is used to increase the projection.

Because of the complex relationship between the jaw, teeth, and maxillofacial muscles, an in-depth individual evaluation that includes X-rays may be required before any chin surgery at our Cleveland area practice.

A Personalized Chin Surgery Consultation

As with all his procedures, Dr. Vanek believes a great outcome begins with the consultation. During your consult, Dr. Vanek will educate you on the risks and benefits of any procedure and empower you to make an informed, medically sound decision. Your individual anatomy and your aesthetic goals will create a series of surgical options for Dr. Vanek to review with you. To enhance your outcome, Dr. Vanek may suggest additional procedures.

“No one can guarantee a great result, but if it’s an outcome that is possible, I will strive to achieve that outcome,” Dr. Vanek says. “Give us a call. I’d love to talk with you and help you celebrate your beauty.”
