Chin Surgery (Genioplasty) Case Studies
Chin surgery, also known as genioplasty, is a procedure commonly performed by Dr Hunt. Genioplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin in some way. Dr Jeremy Hunt has performed genioplasty procedures to move the chin forward (Chin Augmentation), move it backwards (Chin reduction) and move it up or down and to reshape or realign the chin. Here are some patient case studies for genioplasty.
Patient Case Study 1 – Advanced Genioplasty
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
This patient above had advanced genioplasty to move the chin forward 10mm. Dr Hunt then performed submental liposuction which is liposuction of the chin and neck area to remove excess fat.

Patient Case Study 2 – Genioplasty Surgery Implant
In cases where the bone is not favourable for use, a chin implant is an alternative option. If less significant changes are required, the use of injectable dermal fillers can achieve a mild increase in the prominence of the chin.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.

The Relationship Between the Chin and your Nose
Both the chin and nose are prominent facial features. Often an adjustment in the nose size, shape and length is balanced with an adjustment of the chin size and shape. For this reason, genioplasty often compliments a rhinoplasty, and these procedures are sometimes performed together.
Recovery after Genioplasty
The recovery period is associated with some discomfort and downtime is required. Many resume normal activities, such as work and social outings, in a week or two.
