A well-defined chin can dramatically enhance facial harmony and boost confidence, but not everyone is born with the balance they desire. At Zuckerman Plastic Surgery, Dr. Zuckerman offers osteo genioplasty—a cutting-edge, implant-free chin augmentation technique that delivers natural and permanent results. Whether you’re looking to enhance a recessed chin or reduce an overly prominent one, osteo genioplasty can help you achieve a balanced and striking profile.

What is Osteo Genioplasty?

Osteo genioplasty, also known as sliding genioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the chin by repositioning the bone. Unlike traditional chin augmentation using implants, this procedure involves:

  • Osteotomy: Cutting a piece of bone from the lower mandible.
  • Repositioning: Advancing the bone forward for augmentation or moving it backward for reduction.
  • Fixation: Securing the bone in its new position with small, biocompatible plates or screws.

This implant-free approach not only enhances the chin’s projection or diminishes its prominence but also eliminates the risks associated with chin implants, such as shifting or migration.

Why Choose Osteo Genioplasty Over Chin Implants?

While both osteo genioplasty and chin implants can create a more defined chin, the osteo genioplasty procedure offers distinct advantages:

  1. Customization: The procedure allows for precise adjustments in the chin’s shape and projection, tailored to your facial structure.
  2. Natural Results: Because it uses your own bone, the results seamlessly integrate with your natural facial contours.
  3. Long-Term Stability: Unlike implants, which may shift over time, osteo genioplasty provides a permanent solution with no risk of implant movement.

According to Dr. Zuckerman, this technique is often superior for patients seeking chin augmentation, though he also offers chin implant surgery for those who prefer it. During your consultation, he will discuss which option is best suited to your aesthetic goals and anatomy.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Osteo Genioplasty?

Osteo genioplasty is ideal for individuals who are unhappy with the size, shape, or position of their chin. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have a recessed chin that affects facial harmony.
  • Want to correct an overly prominent or protruding chin.
  • Prefer a natural-looking result without the use of implants.
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure.

Dr. Zuckerman will perform a thorough evaluation during your consultation to ensure that osteo genioplasty aligns with your goals.
