title: Chin Advancement, Augmentation, and Reduction as Adjuncts to Rhinoplasty.
abstract: Chin deformities are commonly encountered defects in patients seeking rhinoplasty. Careful preoperative evaluation may identify patients who could benefit from concurrent augmentation or reduction mentoplasty. Alloplastic chin implants and sliding genioplasty represent the main accepted methods of chin augmentation. Although both procedures may be used for retrognathia or microgenia, the sliding genioplasty may also be used in chin asymmetry, prognathia, and vertical height discrepancies. This article outlines the methods to analyze the chin, and discusses the treatment options available for correction of chin deformities as an adjunct to rhinoplasty.
