-'''Genioplasty'''/'''Mentoplasty''' is a type of [[cosmetic surgery]] that is used to improve the appearance of a person's [[chin]].  This can take the form of chin height reduction or chin rounding by [[osteotomy]], or chin augmentation using [[Prosthesis|implants]].
-A particular process, known as a ''sliding genioplasty'', involves removing a horseshoe-shaped piece of the chin bone and sliding it either backwards or forwards, finally fixing it in place using titanium screws. This type of surgery is usually performed by an [[oral and maxillofacial surgeon]].
