Chin surgery (Genioplasty)
Chin length and shape can be inappropriated: too short, too long, too projection and inadequate projection. Appropriate ratio of the face can be
1. Front view: upper, middle and lower face should be in 1 : 1 : 0.8 ratio.
2. Lateral view: upper, middle and lower face should be in 1 : 1 : 0.8 ratio.
3. If we draw the line from upper lip to lower lip, the most anterior part of the chin should not extend anterior to this line.
Chin shape needs to be evaluate from both front and lateral view. To design whether augmentation or reduction is needed.
