Anatomically the chin is the area below the mentolabial fold,
although separating the chin from the lower lip in patients with
a poorly defi ned mentolabial fold can be diffi cult, particularly in
frontal view. Th e anatomy, morphology and aesthetics of the
lower lip, mentolabial fold and chin are intimately related. Th e
chin consists of the bony anterior projection of the mandible,
called the mandibular or mental symphysis, and its overlying soft
tissue chin pad
A common misconception:
Mandibular = chin
A retruted mandibular = retruded chin
You can have retruded mandibular and a protruding chin or vice versa.
Whether you chin is protruding or not does not get determined by the position of your mandibular
Thus getting a genioplast if in fact your mandibular is the problem leads to unsatisfying results.
