Chin augmentation: Absolutely it's possible to fix a recessive chin! chin augmentation can be done in one of two ways: by sliding the chin bone forward after cutting it with an osteotomy and holding it there with screws, or by placing an artificial implant on top of the bone. Both procedures are called a genioplasty, and are done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. Good luck!
