When it comes to facial aesthetics, the chin plays a vital role in overall balance and profile. For individuals with a recessed, protruding, or asymmetrical chin, osseous genioplasty offers a permanent solution that enhances both appearance and structural harmony. Unlike implants that sit over the bone, this procedure involves reshaping your actual chin bone—providing more control, precision, and long-lasting results.
At Asteria Aesthetics Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya performs osseous genioplasty using advanced surgical techniques to help patients achieve a naturally balanced, well-defined lower face. Whether you're looking to improve symmetry, enhance projection, or correct a congenital or post-traumatic deformity, this chin reshaping procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy and goals.
What Is Osseous Genioplasty?
Osseous genioplasty, also known as sliding genioplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the chin bone (mandibular symphysis) is cut and repositioned to enhance or reduce chin projection, height, or asymmetry. It is considered a permanent alternative to chin implants, offering more flexibility and bone-to-bone healing.
- Involves reshaping and sliding the chin bone forward, backward, upward, or downward
- Can improve both aesthetics and functional issues like bite or breathing alignment
- Commonly used in patients with weak chins, overly prominent chins, or facial asymmetry
- Allows for fine adjustments in three dimensions
- Often chosen when chin implants are insufficient or inappropriate

Who Is A Good Candidate For Osseous Genioplasty?
Osseous genioplasty is ideal for patients who are looking for structural and permanent chin correction beyond what fillers or implants can achieve. It can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other jaw or facial surgeries.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have a receding (weak) or overly prominent chin
- Struggle with lower facial imbalance or asymmetry
- Are dissatisfied with the temporary results of fillers or prior implants
- Have congenital or trauma-related chin deformity
- Want a more defined jawline and neck profile
- Prefer bone repositioning over synthetic implants
How Does Osseous Genioplasty Work?
This procedure involves surgical access to the chin bone through an incision made inside the lower lip (intraoral), meaning there’s no visible external scar. The bone is carefully cut and repositioned using specialized instruments and stabilized with small titanium plates and screws.
- Performed under general anesthesia
- Incision made inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars
- Bone cut precisely and moved according to the desired aesthetic
- Fixation done with titanium plates for stability
- Stitches placed inside the mouth typically dissolve on their own
- Procedure takes about 1.5 to 2 hours
The technique allows for precise correction of chin height, projection, and symmetry—something implants often cannot offer.
Osseous Vs Implant Genioplasty: Which Is Better?
Understanding the difference between osseous genioplasty and chin implants helps you make an informed decision. While both aim to improve chin contour, their approach and outcomes differ significantly.
Osseous Genioplasty:
- Involves cutting and repositioning your own chin bone
- Suitable for both forward (advancement) and backward (reduction) corrections
- Offers better control over vertical and horizontal changes
- Natural bone healing with permanent results
- No risk of implant movement or rejection
- Ideal for patients with facial asymmetry or large corrections
Chin Implants:
- Uses silicone or other synthetic implants placed over the bone
- Best for patients who need mild to moderate projection improvement
- Faster recovery, less invasive
- Reversible and easier to adjust in future
- May shift over time or feel unnatural in some patients
At Asteria Aesthetics, Dr. Apoorv Loya helps patients decide the most suitable option based on facial structure, correction required, and personal preference.
