Orthognathic surgery (surgery on the jaw) involves interventions to pull the teeth, jaw bones, other soft and hard tissues to the best anatomical location. It is usually not intended for aesthetic purposes.  However, normalized jaws can give a more aesthetic appearance, as well as some interventions without impacting the teeth. One of them is chin tip interventions which  usually consist of correcting asymmetry, enlarging or reducing the chin tip, bringing the chin tip forward or pushing back, and any combination of these procedures. These procedures can be performed with or without an incision (osteotomy) from the jawbone. The jaw size can be altered by removing excessive bone from jaw or transferring bone/cartridge to the chin from removed another part of the body. Medical chin implants can also be utilized. 

The patient can go back to day-to-day life 1 week after the surgery. Generally, it takes up to 3 weeks post-surgery for the implants and transferred bone/cartridge to adapt.
