The chin is an important part when it comes to the symmetry of the face. Most people who have undergone rhinoplasty opt for a chin surgery for proportionality reasons. Symmetry is important in the concept of what is aesthetically pleasing. For centuries, proportionality has become synonymous to beauty.

Aside from aesthetic reasons, chin surgeries are also done for medical purposes. For people with birth defects wherein the chin appears distorted thus inhibiting a patient's ability to function normally, a surgical procedure has to be done. In fact, there have been cases of overbite wherein the upper and lower jaws are not positioned the right way. For patients with this problem, an orthodontic procedure is not enough. A chin reduction surgery is usually executed to correct the malocclusions.

A chin surgery, like any surgical procedure, is risky. Aside from the fact that an unsuccessful treatment may lead to face distortion, it can also cause more serious damage and complications. Risks such as bleeding, swelling, numbness, infection, allergic reactions, and even complete loss of sensation are typical risks for this kind of surgery. On the other hand, those who chose to have implants may risk dissatisfaction with the results as well as the dislocation of the implant. In these cases, another surgical procedure may be necessary to the inconvenience of the patient.
