The secret to a beautiful face can be found in the overall harmony and balance of its anatomical units. It includes all anatomical units, such as teeth, bones, and soft tissues, influential on each other. The chin is one of the most prominent structures of the face, which plays a significant role in determining overall facial form. Prosthetic material graft is a simple procedure, while genioplasty is an effective procedure for correcting complex chin deformities. Sliding genioplasty offers a distinct advantage in that it gives surgeons the ability to resolve a host of chin abnormalities, ranging from underprojection, overprojection, vertical height disparities to transverse asymmetries.

Abstract
The secret to a beautiful face can be found in the overall harmony and balance of its anatomical units. It includes all anatomical units, such as teeth, bones, and soft tissues, influential on each other. The chin is one of the most prominent structures of the face, which plays a significant role in determining overall facial form. Prosthetic material graft is a simple procedure, while genioplasty is an effective procedure for correcting complex chin deformities. Sliding genioplasty offers a distinct advantage in that it gives surgeons the ability to resolve a host of chin abnormalities, ranging from underprojection, overprojection, vertical height disparities to transverse asymmetries.
