What is Genioplasty?
Genioplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reshaping and repositioning the chin to improve facial balance and harmony. This procedure can address various concerns, including a weak or recessed chin, an overly prominent chin, asymmetry, or congenital deformities. Genioplasty not only enhances aesthetic appeal but can also improve functional aspects such as bite alignment and airway issues.
At Kkaro Clinic, our surgeons perform both augmentative and reductive genioplasty procedures, tailoring each surgery to the unique needs and goals of the patient. Through meticulous planning and execution, we strive to achieve natural-looking results that complement your facial features and boost your self-confidence.
