The Intervention
Chin surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. There are two main types of chin procedures:
- Chin Augmentation: An implant or the patient’s own fat is placed in the chin to increase volume and enhance facial contours. The incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin to ensure minimal scarring.
- Chin Reduction: Excess bone and tissue are removed or reshaped to reduce the size of the chin. Access is typically achieved through an incision inside the mouth or under the chin.

What is Chin Surgery?
Chin surgery, also known as chin augmentation or genioplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve the shape and size of the chin. This surgery can enlarge or reduce the chin, change its shape, and improve the harmony of the facial profile.
Why Chin Surgery?
A balanced chin is crucial for overall facial harmony. A chin that is too small or too large, or asymmetries, can make the face appear unbalanced. Chin surgery helps optimize facial proportions, boost self-confidence, and achieve an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Advantages of Chin Surgery
- Improved Facial Proportions: Harmonizes facial features and creates a balanced profile.
- Natural Results: Adjustment of the chin shape for a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Increased Self-Confidence: An improved chin profile can significantly boost confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance.
- Versatile Options: Both augmentation and reduction of the chin are possible to achieve individual aesthetic goals.

Questions & Answers
Is chin correction surgery covered by health insurance?
In most cases, this is a cosmetic procedure that must be paid for privately. Coverage by health insurance is only possible in exceptional cases—for example, in cases of severe misalignments with functional problems that require medical documentation. Approval of costs is only granted after an individual assessment by the health insurance company. Further information is available during a personal consultation at our clinic.
Am I suitable for chin surgery?
Suitable patients are those who are dissatisfied with the shape, size, or position of their chin and desire a permanent correction. Good general health is a prerequisite. Whether there is a medical indication and which method is most suitable will be clarified during an individual consultation.
When is surgical chin correction advisable and what results can be achieved?
Chin correction surgery is particularly useful when a chin that is too small, too large, or asymmetrical impairs facial harmony or jaw function. Targeted correction can balance the profile, making the face appear more proportionate, aesthetically more harmonious, and functionally improved.
How does surgical chin correction differ from minimally invasive methods such as fillers?
While fillers can temporarily build volume or conceal minor imperfections, they don’t alter bone structure. Chin surgery, on the other hand, allows for permanent and precise adjustment of the shape, size, and projection of the chin. In some cases, a combination of both methods may be beneficial to achieve optimal results.
