Chin Surgery Genioplasty Mentoplasty Chin Augmentation Or Reduction

Chin surgery, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, reshapes the chin to improve facial balance. This can involve making the chin bigger (augmentation) using an implant or by moving the chin bone, or making it smaller (reduction) by removing bone. The goal is to create a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing facial profile.
