Maxillofacial surgery
Chin surgery
The chin holds up the entire profile.
Chin surgery (genioplasty) changes the position and projection of the chin. It is one of the procedures that most transforms the profile with the least surgical aggression, and it often improves neck definition too.
The approach
Depending on the case, a chin osteotomy with titanium fixation or the placement of a digitally-designed custom implant. The approach is intraoral, with no external scars.
Recovery
Swelling for seven to ten days. A soft diet for two weeks. No visible scars.
Who it's for
- An under-projected chin that visually shortens the neck.
- An excessive or off-midline chin.
- Patients seeking rhinoplasty whose profile improves substantially once the chin is balanced.
