What are chin defects?

  • Rétrogénie ou menton fuyant : menton peu projeté, ce qui peut donner l’impression d’un manque de définition du bas du visage et d’un profil moins équilibré
  • Menton en galoche ou saillant : caractérisé par une protrusion excessive du menton.
  • Asymmetry: asymmetries can manifest themselves in a chin that is deviated or offset from the centre of the face.
  • Menton trop proéminent : ce défaut perturbe l’harmonie, le menton domine les autres éléments du visage.
  • Loss of volume: with age, loss of volume in the chin area can lead to sagging of the skin and reduced definition of the chin, which can contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and submental folds.
  • Contour defects: irregular or ill-defined contours of the chin.

How can I get a more beautiful chin?

A beautiful chin is a chin that is harmonious, i.e. that respects certain criteria of shape, proportions of perfect beauty (the golden ratio), projection and angles formed between lines that pass through the chin and the other structures of the face.

The shape of the chin

Le menton féminin est typiquement arrondi pointu. Vu de profil, une courbe concave (juste au-dessous de la lèvre) est suivie d’une courbe convexe qui se termine au niveau de l’ovale.
Néanmoins, en fonction de la morphologie du visage, un menton légèrement carré peut être considéré féminin, par exemple chez des femmes qui ont un ovale bien tracé et un visage plutôt anguleux.
La féminisation du menton est un acte fréquemment demandé.

The male chin is square. Chin masculinisation is a frequently requested procedure. 

The projection

Le menton correctement projeté se trouve 3mm en arrière d’une ligne qui passe par le point médian du dorsum du nez et le point le plus projeté de la lèvre supérieure.
On parle de progénie (ou menton en galoche) si le menton est avancé par rapport à cette ligne, de rétrogénie (ou menton fuyant) si le menton est en arrière par rapport à cette ligne.

The proportions of the golden ratio

The distance between the nose and the horizontal line passing through the corner of the mouth should be equal to one third of the distance between the sub-nasal point and the chin. This is one of the proportions of the beautiphication of the face.

The angles

The cervico-chin angle (angle between the neck and chin seen in profile) should be 85-90°.
