Abstract

Augmentation genioplasty is a commonly performed aesthetic procedure. Although there have been multiple modifications of the original technique, there are two primary methods to perform this operation. The purpose of this article is to describe the author's experience in placing chin implants from a transoral versus a transcervical approach. Differences in outcomes and potential complications associated with each method are described.
