Abstract
Genioplasty is a safe and predictable procedure. It is an aesthetic surgical procedure that creates a balanced facial profile and alters the lower one third of the facial skeleton. It has minimal complications. This chapter will review important aspects of the preoperative evaluation, the surgical procedure, as well as potential complications. Management and prevention of these complications will also be addressed.
