Genioplasty Chin Surgery

Lecture : 5 min. par Harmonie Bodyexpert.online

Genioplasty is a facial plastic surgery that consists of correcting chin position anomalies such as a curved chin or a receding chin. Also known as mentoplasty, genioplasty is intended to provide aesthetic improvement, but also to correct a defect that may be functional. In Turkey, and particularly in Istanbul, genioplasty is a common procedure that reshapes the chin to create harmony with the entire face. With very attractive prices, Turkey is the ideal destination for high quality care at low cost.

How is a genioplasty chin surgery performed

Medical consultations

During an initial consultation, the maxillofacial surgeon performs a radiological assessment to determine the surgical techniques to be used. A dental panoramic is performed to highlight any dental articulation problems. In this case, specific orthodontic treatments will have to be done before performing the genioplasty.

The radiological assessment is also accompanied by a medical interview and the taking of digital images of the patient’s face from all angles. These images are essential for computer simulations to visualize the desired result.

A second consultation is also scheduled to give the patient the necessary time to reflect. During this consultation, the maxillofacial surgeon presents the techniques used and discusses again all aspects of the surgery (preoperative instructions, anesthesia, postoperative care, etc.).

Surgical intervention

Chin surgery, or genioplasty, is a surgical procedure that is performed under general anesthesia. This procedure, which lasts about an hour, consists of correcting the positioning of the chin by moving it, raising it, lowering it, or reducing it.

Several techniques can be used to restore harmonious features and volumes to the chin, and to the face more generally. Genioplasty can be performed by osteotomy (cut chin bone), by sagittal split osteotomy, by grafting or by the placement of alloplastic chin implants. To achieve the desired result, genioplasty can also be combined with maxillary and/or mandibular osteotomy (jaw surgery), rhinoplasty, and aesthetic medicine treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections to balance volumes.

Post-operative care

After the genioplasty, the patient usually stays overnight in the clinic. The surgeon applies a shaping dressing that should generally be worn between 5 and 8 days after the procedure.

Several surgical techniques can be proposed to advance the chin (implants, chin osteotomy, hyaluronic acid injection, etc.).
  • A canted chin: A canted chin is a protruding chin. Its position can be influenced by a forward positioning of the lower jaw or by a forward positioning of the bony chin. The technique used is proposed on a case-by-case basis depending on the projection of the patient’s chin.

Sports activities without risk of trauma must be suspended for 3 weeks.

    Hi there,
    Could genioplasty also help relieve snoring? Are there ENTs I could meet in Turkey?

    Also, could a genioplasty be coupled with surgery to make the jaw look more feminine?
