About chin surgery:

To improve the balance between chin, forehead, jaw and cheek you can have a chin surgery. Also in some case, after rhinoplasty, the size of the chin may magnify or minimize in some patients; in this case the plastic surgeon will recommend you to perform a chin surgery.

To give more projection to the chin, you can use shaped silicone implants (Chin augmentation). In contrary cases chin bone can be removed (Chin reduction).
Another use of Mentoplasty is to improve chewing dynamics or in the process of fitting teeth together. They call this technique Genioplasty, in which the surgeon will move the jaw bone forward.

Chin augmentation:

Chin augmentation is the most popular category among subgroups of Mentoplasty. Surgeons perform chin augmentation with inserting a silicone implant under the skin of the chin. The surgeon will make an incision under the chin or inside the mouth in order to insert the implant.
Chin implants were made of cartilage in the past; but nowadays alloplastic implants are being used because they reduce the risk of infection.
If your chin is too small for augmentation with an implant, your specialist will recommend Genioplasty instead. In this case the surgery will take 1-3 hours; and the surgeon will cut through your jawbone to remove some parts of the bone and move the bone segment forward.

Chin reduction:

Chin reduction can be performed either with direct reduction or genioplasty. In direct reduction, to remove the excess bone, your surgeon will make an incision under your chin or in your mouth. If your surgeon is using genioplasty to remove the excess bone, the only difference it has with chin augmentation is that the bone is moved backward instead of forward.
