ANSWER V-Line Genioplasty
A receding chin sits back, making the mouth look protruded and the jawline indistinct. ANSWER Plastic Surgery chooses between sliding genioplasty and implant placement based on your facial proportions and bone condition, designing for profile balance and a slim chin line together.
When V-Line Genioplasty is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
A set-back chin
In profile, the chin sits behind the lips and the lower face looks short
Mouth looks protruded
The receding chin makes the mouth look relatively prominent
Double-chin concerns
A short chin blurs the under-chin border, resembling a double chin
Chin asymmetry
The chin tilts to one side, unbalancing the frontal line
Wanting a slim lower face
You want the chin refined into an overall slim V-line
CUSTOM DESIGN
Osteotomy or implant — diagnosis first
Chin correction divides into sliding genioplasty and implant placement, and the right method depends on bone condition and the deficit's degree and direction. ANSWER Plastic Surgery analyzes chin length, required advancement, and asymmetry on 3D CT to diagnose the approach that fits you first.

- 3Design built on the nasal tip–lips–chin profile ratio
ANSWER POINT
Safe surgery around the nerve pathways
Nerves serving lower-lip sensation run near the chin. ANSWER Plastic Surgery maps the nerve path in advance when planning the osteotomy line and fixation, reducing sensory risk, and operates through the mouth so no external scar shows.
- 1Osteotomy designed around nerve position to ease injury risk
- 2Intraoral incision leaves no visible scar
- 3Firm fixation of the moved bone supports stable union
- 4Implants chosen individually for the chin shape when used
ANSWER V-Line Genioplasty: How It's Done
Consultation & 3D Diagnosis
3D CT and profile analysis establish the degree of recession and any asymmetry.
Method Decision
Osteotomy or implant, the movement amount, and the shape are decided together.
Surgery
Through the intraoral approach, the chin is advanced and fixed or the implant placed as planned.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Swelling and sensory recovery are checked with guidance on diet and oral care.
Frequently Asked Questions
QWhich is better — osteotomy or an implant?
Osteotomy suits large advancements or asymmetry correction; an implant can serve when a modest supplement is enough. It depends on bone condition and the line you want, so deciding together after precise diagnosis works best.
QCould my lip sensation become dull?
Nerves near the chin can cause temporary numbness, which in most cases recovers over time. ANSWER designs the osteotomy around the nerve path to reduce that burden and checks your recovery regularly.
QWill the scar be visible?
The incision is made through the oral mucosa, so no external scar remains. Early oral hygiene matters with an intraoral incision, and we explain disinfection and rinsing in detail.
