Overview and Purpose
A Chin Aesthetic procedure, or mentoplasty, is a surgical or non-surgical intervention designed to reshape the chin by enhancing its size, reducing its projection, or refining its contour. The chin is the biological anchor of the lower face; its position relative to the nose and neck determines the “strength” and harmony of a person’s profile.
Many patients ask, “What is chin reshaping?” It is the art and science of aligning the chin with the rest of the facial features to create a more proportional appearance. At Liv Hospital, our purpose is to provide structural balance. Whether you are looking for chin up aesthetics to correct a “receding” chin or seeking to sharpen your jawline for a more athletic look, we utilize high-precision medical technology to ensure your results are symmetrical and naturally integrated into your skeletal frame.
Common Procedures
At Liv Hospital, we offer three primary biological and structural methods for Chin Aesthetic enhancement:
Consultation and Preparation
A successful Chin Aesthetic journey begins with a 3D cephalometric analysis. At Liv Hospital, our surgeons use high-resolution imaging to measure the “Ricketts’ E-line”—the biological line connecting the tip of the nose to the chin. This helps us determine the exact millimeters of projection needed to achieve perfect chin up aesthetics without making the face look “over-projected.”
Surgery and Recovery
Chin Aesthetic surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. If using an implant, the surgeon creates a precise pocket directly over the bone. At Liv Hospital, we use “hidden” internal sutures to ensure no external scars are visible. For bone-sliding procedures, tiny titanium plates are used to secure the bone in its new biological position.
Maintenance and Results
The results of surgical Chin Aesthetic procedures are permanent, but your face will continue to age naturally.
Liv Hospital is a leader in maxillofacial and aesthetic surgery, combining JCI-accredited safety with a deep understanding of facial harmony. Our surgeons are experts in both the “soft-tissue” and “bone-structure” aspects of Chin Aesthetic care. We use the most advanced, biocompatible materials to ensure your jawline is both stunning and safe. We are dedicated to helping you achieve a profile that looks as strong as you feel. We encourage you to reach out and call Liv Hospital to schedule your personalized consultation today.

The terms are often used interchangeably to refer to chin surgery. However, in medical terms, genioplasty typically refers to the surgical alteration of the chin bone (osteotomy). At the same time, mentoplasty is a broader term that can encompass both bone surgery and the use of implants to augment the chin.
A severely recessed chin can indicate a smaller airway, a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. While the appearance itself is not a health risk, the underlying skeletal structure can impact breathing and dental occlusion.
Yes, surgical procedures involving bone movement (such as sliding genioplasty) or permanent implants are intended to be lifelong solutions. The bone heals in the new position, and implants are made of durable materials. However, the soft tissues will continue to age naturally.
Dermal fillers can provide a temporary improvement for mild to moderate chin recession. This is known as a liquid genioplasty. It is a good option for testing the look, but it is not permanent and cannot achieve the same magnitude of projection or vertical change as surgery.
This texture, often called “peau d’orange,” is caused by the hyperactive contraction of the mentalis muscle. It usually happens when the chin is weak or vertically long, forcing the muscle to strain to close the lips. Surgery can generally relieve this strain.
