The chin is the protruding part located at the bottom of the face. It is composed of the mandibular bone where the teeth are located and is articulated with the temporal bone. It is the only mobile bone in the skull that allows chewing.
The receding chin is a retracted chin. It is then set back in relation to the whole face. Thus, the mandible, the lower part of the face, is shifted backwards. Also called retrogeny, this malformation can lead to complexes and psychological discomfort in people who suffer from it.
When the chin is receding, the cervico-chin angle is no longer defined and the neck appears thicker. With time, this malformation tends to be more marked and can worsen considerably.
Thus, retrogeny can lead to a number of problems such as

In the case of a receding chin, both surgical and aesthetic medicine solutions can help restore a harmonious face. Thus, when a minor retrogeneity is observed, it is possible to resort to aesthetic medicine and injections of fillers.
If the receding chin is too pronounced, filler injections will not be possible. It will therefore be necessary to proceed with a genioplasty to correct the malformation and bring the chin forward. Prosthesis placement is also possible to correct a retrogeny.
The contours of the chin and jaw are corrected by improving their prominence and symmetry. A receding chin is often associated with a bump on the nose. In this case, it is possible to perform a profiloplasty.
In all cases, the practitioner will propose an operation adapted to your needs and expectations.

The chin, located under the mouth, is in fact a bony protuberance. Depending on the person, the chin is more or less marked. Thus, in some people, it is possible to observe an absence of chin while, in others, it will be too prominent.
A curved chin, also called a protruding chin, is a chin that is projected forward. It presents a prominence of the soft parts or the mandibular bone. This characteristic of the chin can sometimes give rise to a number of complexes. Therefore, in some cases, people with a protruding chin resort to cosmetic surgery.
There is no medical treatment for a protruding chin. On the other hand, surgery today offers adapted solutions that make it possible to recede a protruding chin and give excellent results.

Thus, medical genioplasty is the most appropriate treatment for a chin that is out of shape. The technique used depends on the doctor, but also on the extent of your chin projection.
