Genioplasty is a form of cosmetic surgery that involves repositioning or reshaping the chin to improve facial harmony. Oral-maxillofacial surgeons with specific training and experience in treating the head, face, mouth, and jaw typically perform Genioplasty procedures. Dr Tarun Sharma is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with special training in the field of Cleft & Craniofacial Plastic Surgery. He has successfully performed 1000+ Genioplasty surgeries of varying difficulty index for different Facial Deformities & TMJ Disorders since Birth that lead to a deviated Chin and mandible.

There are several ways to conduct this procedure: advancement, or moving the chin forward, pushback or moving the chin backward, side-to-side – which can help with asymmetrical chins and vertical changes – such as making the chin longer or shorter.

• Overly large or small chin
• Protruding chin
• Receding chin
• Misaligned chin
