Chin Correction
Gaining Profile
The precondition for an attractive profile can be found in the harmonious proportions of the skeletal structure. It was Leonardo da Vinci in his studies on proportion who first found evidence for the perfect symmetry of a face in profile: a vertical segmentation into three equal parts. Hereditary or acquired anomalies of the lower jaw's form and position disrupt the natural harmony of the face's aesthetic proportions and may even impair chewing.
Most of the dental irregularities and malpositions can be corrected during the growth phase of the skull through orthodentic measures. If these are not sufficient to achieve the desired result, the disharmony of the skeletal structure can also be surgically corrected as soon as the skull has reached its final form. In many cases an improvement of the patient's ability to chew, breathe and talk is as central to the operation as an exclusively aesthetic correction.
Since the skin around the lower jaw follows the outline of the bone, a surgical intervention in that area can significantly improve the overall aesthetic impression.
The chin's profile can be improved by correcting the chin bone, through chin implants, or through liposuction in the chin and neck area.
