Genioplasty Simulator
See the position of your chin bone rendered on your own face. One photo, one render — before you sit in a consultation room deciding from a verbal description.
What a genioplasty actually does
The chin bone is cut and repositioned — forward, backward, up, down, or rotated — and fixed with plates. It changes the skeleton rather than adding to it, which is why it can correct height and asymmetry that an implant cannot.
Which measurement points to a genioplasty
The facial thirds calculator is the measurement that matters here, because a genioplasty can change the height of the lower third as well as its projection.
How long a genioplasty lasts, and what it costs
How long it lasts
Permanent.
Typical cost
Roughly $6,000–$12,000 in the United States, higher when combined with jaw surgery.
These are ranges commonly quoted in the United States, collected for orientation. They are not a quote and not a recommendation — price varies with surgeon, city, technique and what else is done at the same time, and the cheapest option in a medical procedure is rarely the relevant number.
What people get wrong about a genioplasty
That it changes the bite. A genioplasty works below the tooth roots and leaves occlusion alone. Bite correction is jaw surgery, a substantially larger operation, and the two get conflated constantly.
How to read genioplasty before and after photos
Ask for both profile and front, and for imaging if available. A genioplasty can change height as well as projection, and the front view is where the height change shows.
Genioplasty recovery — what is typically reported
Two to three weeks of significant swelling, a soft diet early on, and temporary lower-lip numbness that is normal. Final result at several months.
Recovery varies with technique, extent and the individual. This is a summary of what is commonly reported, not what will happen to you, and your surgeon's figures are the ones that apply.
Three questions to ask before a genioplasty
A render is most useful as something to take into a consultation. These are the questions specific to this procedure that are worth asking while you are there.
- 1How far and in which directions are you moving the chin?
- 2How likely is persistent numbness in your hands, not in general?
- 3Would an implant achieve the same thing with less recovery in my case?
What this genioplasty simulation cannot show
The render adjusts the chin outline in a front photograph. A genioplasty is planned from a profile and often from imaging; a front render is the least informative view of it.
Alternatives to a genioplasty
How the genioplasty simulation works
Your photo is analysed for the landmarks that matter to this procedure, and the render changes the position of your chin bone while leaving the rest of your face alone. That constraint is the hard part — a generic image model will happily redraw your whole face and hand you a stranger who looks better.
What a simulation is, and what it is not
It is an illustration of a plausible direction. It is not a prediction of your result, not a medical opinion, and not a substitute for a consultation. Your anatomy, your surgeon's technique and how you heal decide the actual outcome, and none of those are visible in a photograph.
What it is genuinely good for: finding out whether you even want the change. A large share of people who render one discover the difference is smaller than they had been imagining, and stop there. That is a useful outcome.
Start from a measurement, not a guess
The free analysis tools measure symmetry, facial proportion and face shape, and tell you which measurements sit outside the reference range. Choosing a procedure from that is a much better starting point than choosing one from a photo you saved.
Genioplasty simulator — frequently asked questions
Is a sliding genioplasty better than an implant?
Better for different things. It moves bone, so it can correct vertical height and asymmetry and avoids an implant; it is also a larger operation with a longer recovery.
Does it affect the teeth or bite?
A genioplasty alone works below the tooth roots and does not change the bite. Bite correction is jaw surgery, which is a different and larger procedure.
Is numbness common afterwards?
Temporary numbness of the lower lip and chin is a recognised and common part of recovery because of the nerve that runs through the area; persistent numbness is less common but documented.
Is the genioplasty simulator free?
The face analysis is free and needs no account. A rendered simulation costs credits because it runs on a GPU — $4.99 buys five and does not require a subscription.
How accurate is an AI genioplasty simulation?
It is an illustration of a plausible outcome, not a prediction of your result. Real outcomes depend on your anatomy, the surgeon and healing. Treat it as a conversation starter for a consultation, not a promise.
Do you keep my photo?
The free measurements never leave your browser. A simulation does send the photo to a rendering service, which is why it asks for explicit consent first, and you can delete the result from your dashboard at any time.
Can I show this to a surgeon?
Yes, and that is the most useful thing to do with it. Bringing a picture of the direction you want is far more precise than describing it in words.
Other jaw & chin simulations
This page is not medical advice and we are not clinicians. A simulation cannot tell you whether a procedure is appropriate for you, what it costs, or what the risks are. Those questions belong with a qualified surgeon.
