Enhancing facial balance with a well-defined, natural chin
Chin correction surgery, also known as genioplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes or repositions the chin to improve facial balance. Dr. Muddappa P. P., an experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Bangalore, performs chin correction with a focus on natural proportions and long-term results.
The chin plays a key role in defining the profile and overall balance of the face. A chin that is too small, too prominent, or asymmetrical can affect facial harmony and confidence. Chin correction surgery (genioplasty) helps create a balanced and well-proportioned facial appearance.
At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Muddappa P. P. offers chin correction surgery that is carefully planned to suit each individual’s facial structure. The goal is to enhance definition without making the chin look artificial or exaggerated.

The choice of technique depends on facial anatomy, degree of correction needed, and patient preference.
Every face is unique, and chin correction must be planned in harmony with the nose, lips, and jawline. Dr. Muddappa begins with a detailed consultation to assess facial proportions, profile view, and bite alignment.
As a trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon, he focuses on achieving balance rather than overcorrection. Clear discussion about expected results helps patients make informed decisions with confidence.
Chin correction surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation. The procedure typically takes one to two hours.
Incisions are commonly placed inside the mouth, leaving no visible external scars. The chin bone may be repositioned or an implant placed securely to achieve the desired shape and projection.
Most patients are discharged the same day or after a short hospital stay.
Swelling and mild discomfort are common during the first week and gradually subside. A supportive bandage may be advised temporarily.
Most patients return to routine activities within 7-10 days, while complete healing continues over several weeks. Dr. Muddappa provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up visits to ensure safe recovery.
Final results become more visible as swelling settles, revealing a chin that blends naturally with the rest of the face.
Chin correction surgery may be suitable for individuals who:
A consultation helps determine whether surgical or non-surgical chin correction would be the best option.
Dr. Muddappa believes chin correction should subtly enhance facial harmony without drawing attention to the procedure.
