-'''Genioplasty'''/'''Mentoplasty''' is a type of  [[Cosmetic_surgery#Cosmetic_surgery|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 mobilizing a horseshoe-shaped piece of the bottom part of the chin bone by osteotomy and sliding it either backwards or forwards, finally fixing it in place with a titanium step plate using titanium screws. This type of surgery is usually performed by an [[oral and maxillofacial surgeon]] or a plastic surgeon.
