Aesthetic chin procedures aim to improve the appearance and harmony of the face by treating a variety of chin-related problems. Here's an overview of common chin-related needs and possible solutions:
- Double chin removal: A double chin, characterized by the accumulation of fat under the chin, can be treated in a number of ways. Options include liposuction to remove excess fat, filler injections to redefine the chin line, and skin tightening treatments such as LPG or Radiofrequency.
- Chin tuck reduction: A chin tuck, characterized by a prominent, protruding chin, can be reduced with genioplasty (chin surgery). This procedure reshapes the chin to make it more proportionate to the rest of the face.
- Restoring projection to a receding chin: A receding chin, which lacks forward projection, can be corrected with genioplasty or filler injections to redefine the chin line (this is known as medical genioplasty).
Double chin, also known as "double chin" or "double chin", refers to a deposit of extra fat or sagging skin located under the chin, creating the appearance of a second layer of skin or fat. This condition may be more noticeable when a person looks down or is overweight, but it can also be present in normal-weight or physically fit people.
The main causes of double chin include:
- Excess weight: Accumulation of body fat can lead to additional fat deposits under the chin, creating the appearance of a double chin.
- Aging: With age, skin loses elasticity and chin muscles can weaken, which can lead to sagging skin and the formation of a double chin.
- Genetic factors: Some people may be genetically predisposed to accumulating fat under the chin, or to having a bone structure that favors the appearance of a double chin.
- Poor eating habits: An unbalanced diet rich in calories, fats and sugars can contribute to the accumulation of body fat, including under the chin.
- Sedentary lifestyle: A sedentary lifestyle with little physical exercise can lead to weight gain and contribute to the appearance of a double chin.

Curved chin
The term "canted chin" is used to describe a chin that is prominent, protruding or excessively advanced in relation to the rest of the face. This characteristic can give the appearance of a very pronounced chin that protrudes sharply beyond the contour of the face.
The curved chin is generally caused by overgrowth or abnormal development of the mandibular bone (chin), often associated with a genetic disposition. In some cases, it can also be associated with medical conditions such as mandibular prognathia, where the lower jaw is further forward than the upper jaw.
The curved chin can be perceived differently according to cultural and aesthetic standards. Some people may appreciate it as a distinctive feature, while others may prefer a more balanced facial appearance.

Leaky chin
A receding chin, also known as mandibular retrognathia, refers to a chin that is set back from the rest of the face. This creates the appearance of a recession or lack of projection of the chin in relation to the jaw and face as a whole. This condition can be seen in profile, where the chin appears to be recessed in relation to other facial features.
The causes of a receding chin can be various, including:
- Genetic factors: Some people may have a facial structure that includes a receding chin due to genetic characteristics passed on by their parents.
- Abnormal jaw development: Factors such as insufficient growth of the lower jaw during childhood and adolescence can contribute to a receding chin.
- Dental malocclusion: Poor dental occlusion, where the upper and lower teeth don't line up properly, can also be associated with a receding chin.
- Trauma: Injury or trauma to the jaw can cause the chin to recede.
The characteristics of a receding chin can vary depending on the severity of the condition. In some cases, the chin may appear to recede slightly, while in others, the recoil may be more pronounced and obvious.
