Chin setback, also known as genioplasty or chin reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and reduce the prominence of the chin. It is often performed to enhance facial harmony and improve aesthetic balance, particularly for individuals with an overly prominent or protruding chin. The procedure involves repositioning the chin bone to a more desirable location, which can help achieve a more proportionate and attractive facial profile. Recovery typically involves some swelling and discomfort, but results are usually long-lasting and can significantly boost a person’s confidence and appearance.

Chin setback, or reduction genioplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the prominence of the chin to create a more balanced facial profile. The procedure begins with a consultation where the surgeon evaluates the patient’s facial structure and discusses desired outcomes. During surgery, which is performed under general anesthesia, an incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin to access the chin bone.
The surgeon then carefully cuts and repositions the chin bone, moving it backward to achieve the desired setback. Sometimes, a portion of the bone may be removed to further reduce chin prominence. The repositioned bone is secured using plates and screws to ensure stability.
Post-surgery, the patient may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically subside within a few weeks. Full recovery can take several months, during which time the new chin position settles, resulting in a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing facial appearance. Regular follow-up visits ensure proper healing and satisfactory results.

A chin setback, also known as reduction genioplasty, is a surgical procedure that repositions and reduces the prominence of the chin to create a more balanced facial profile.
Good candidates are individuals with an overly prominent chin that disrupts facial harmony. They should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and seek to enhance their facial aesthetics.
The procedure involves making an incision inside the mouth or under the chin to access the chin bone. The surgeon cuts and repositions the bone backward, sometimes removing a portion of it. The bone is then secured with plates and screws.
Chin setback surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.
If the incision is made inside the mouth, there will be no visible scars. An external incision under the chin may leave a small, inconspicuous scar.
