When we think of a well-balanced and attractive face, features like a proportionate jawline, aligned smile, and harmonious facial structure play a major role. A key factor behind these features is jaw alignment. Misaligned jaws do not just affect outward appearance; they also impact chewing, speech, breathing, and overall confidence.
Facial harmony is the foundation of an attractive and balanced appearance. While features like the eyes and lips often catch attention, the chin plays an equally vital role in defining facial proportions. A weak, receding, or overly prominent chin can disrupt balance — and this is where chin surgery (also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty) can make a remarkable difference.
According to Dr. Priyadarshini Banerjee, a skilled Facial Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgeon, understanding the difference between functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty is essential before deciding which one you need.
Facial balance plays a major role in defining beauty and confidence. Among the many facial enhancement procedures, chin surgery—whether through chin augmentation or chin advancement—can bring remarkable improvement in overall appearance. Although both aim to refine the chin and jawline, they differ significantly in approach, purpose, and results.

Rhinoplasty — commonly known as a “nose job” — is one of the most sought-after facial surgeries today. However, not everyone chooses rhinoplasty for the same reason. Some people undergo it to improve breathing, while others wish to enhance their facial features.

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, has long been one of the most sought-after cosmetic and reconstructive procedures worldwide. In 2025, the field continues to evolve — blending advanced surgical precision with cutting-edge technology to achieve natural, personalized, and lasting results.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ or TMD) can cause persistent pain in the jaw, face, and neck, affecting your ability to eat, speak, and even sleep comfortably. The good news? Many non-surgical treatments are now available that effectively relieve TMJ pain and restore normal jaw function.
If you often feel pain around your jaw, have headaches, or hear clicking sounds when you chew, you might be experiencing TMJ disorder. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and plays a key role in talking, chewing, and even smiling. When this joint isn’t functioning properly, it can cause discomfort that affects your daily life.
An underbite — when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth — is more than just a cosmetic issue. It can affect chewing, speech, jaw function, and even confidence. Traditionally, jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) was the go-to treatment for severe underbites. But today, advancements in orthodontic care have opened doors to non-surgical underbite correction methods.
Jaw surgery — also known as orthognathic surgery — is a life-changing procedure that corrects misaligned jaws, improves bite, and enhances facial symmetry. While the results can be truly transformative, understanding what to expect before and after jaw surgery is essential for a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.
Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common congenital conditions worldwide. These conditions occur when a baby’s lip or mouth does not form properly during pregnancy.
