Chin surgery!!! Genioplasty or the more common term known as chin repositioning, refer to the reduction and addition of material to a patient's chin. Basically using surgical implants that can alter the underlying structure of the face, providing better balance to the facial features. Chin implants are used to build a better profile, using the patient's own bone taken from the ribs or from part of the pelvis. This surgical procedure is done to correct receding chins, chin misalignment or chin excess. The 28 years old male here had a convex facial profile and a 6 mm advancement genioplasty was the treatment plan for him. The procedure presented in the photo was done and sent by Dr. Saeed Hajizadeh (@saeedhajizadehh), a maxillofacial surgeon, with the patient's full consent.
