1. What is Microgenia (Receding Chin)?
A receding chin occurs when the lower jaw is smaller or set further back than the upper jaw. This often creates a “weak chin” look and makes the mouth appear protruded. If your dental bite is normal, a simple Genioplasty can offer dramatic results without the need for major jaw surgery.
2. The 3 Methods for Improvement
Fillers:
Quick and non-surgical, but temporary. They don’t improve the double chin and may cause skin sagging over time. Moreover, they carry a risk of bone erosion
Chin Implants:
A permanent option using silicone. However, they carry a risk of bone erosion and can shift upward, creating an unnatural look.
Sliding Genioplasty (The Best Solution):
By cutting and moving your actual chin bone forward, it naturally tightens the muscles under the jaw. This is the most effective way to eliminate a stubborn double chin.
3. Why Genioplasty?
Think of it as moving a tent pole forward to tighten the fabric. Moving the bone forward pulls the soft tissue and muscles taut, creating a sharp, defined jawline that implants alone cannot achieve.
