What is the best method of improving a recessed chin?

There is a symptom commonly known as a recessed chin. This is classified by the lower jaw bone being further back than where the brow bone meets the nasal bone, or if the size of the bone itself is small giving the appearance of having no chin. Those with recessed chin can appear like they have a weak lower face due to the fact that the tip of their chin is not advanced forward enough. Additionally, those with a recessed chin will find that the length of their chin itself is not long enough. Many people feel insecure about their recessed chin due to its appearance, but it can also cause functional issues.

Recessed chin can be improved through double jaw surgery, but the specific plan differs depending on the severity of the recessed chin and the amount of malocclusion. In order to ensure the best possible outcome, it's best to discuss your surgery plan with a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Additionally, in cases of recessed chin surgery, there is a possibility that you may need orthodontic treatment before or after the surgery. You will need to consult with not only an oral and maxillofacial surgeon but also an orthodontist, and for them to be able to collaborate on the surgical plan well. To guarantee a safe surgery, it's best if the oral and maxillofacial clinic you consult at has both an oral and maxillofacial surgeon as well as an in-house orthodontist.

Surgery for recessed chin falls under the category of facial bone surgery because the jaw bone will need to be cut and moved. This makes it quite a difficult surgery that calls for a skilled and experienced surgeon. The patient's specific symptoms need to be accurately diagnosed and the area that needs to be cut and area that needs to be fixed must be thought through extensively. The functionality of your jawbone and teeth is very important to your quality of life, so it is important that you are thoroughly aware of your exact symptoms and what kind of treatment will be best suited for you.

Those with recessed chin symptoms might find that they are not confident about their side profile. In order to safely obtain a result that you will be satisfied with, it's paramount that you undergo surgery at a hospital that you can trust. Through the best possible procedure that is most appropriate for your specific case, we hope that you can regain confidence in your appearance.
