A genioplasty or repositioning of the chin bone can transform facial
appearance. Advancing the chin bone tightens the musculature on
the floor of the mouth and helps to correct jowls and a sagging
neck.

Chin implants have a similar effect but do not tighten the musculature.
Some chin implants may erode into the bone over time lessening the
initial effect and causing other complications with teeth and local
nerves and genioplasty is often a better option if a significant
advancement is contemplated.
