Chin Surgery

The chin, despite being one of the tiniest physical structures on the face, has a prominent location. It is a discrete and unique anatomical structure of the human species that is not found in other animal beings. Its shape, as well as its relationship to other anatomical formations (nose, lower jaw, upper jaw), can have a significant impact on the face's attractive appearance.

Indications for surgery

Anatomical abnormalities of the chin are characterized as:

• Microgenesis
• Subgenia
• Macrogenia
• Far Subgenia

The treatment for such issues can range from osteotomies and relocating the bony component of the chin backwards or downwards, depending on the correction required, to the simple placement of silicone implants in the lightest cases.

Latest techniques

Plastic surgery, like all surgical professions, seeks to maintain surgical intervention to a minimum and to deliver excellent aesthetic results without placing the patient under undue strain.

For the treatment of hypogene and microgenesis, there are three basic surgical techniques:

• The initial procedure entails a minor surgical mobilization of the soft tissues in the desired direction. The 1.5 cm long incision is made in the oral mucosa. The patient is instantly mobilized, and all interventions can be completed with only local anesthetic..
• The second procedure entails the implant of a mostly silicone insert of predetermined size and shape. The outcomes are instantaneous, with a swift recovery and return to normalcy.
• There is also a revolutionary procedure known as bloodless genioplasty, in which we augment the generation by injecting a new generation of long-lasting injectable materials into the skin of the eyelid, such as polycaprolactone.

In the case of bloodless chin surgery, we employ a procedure that is only recommended in a few minor cases. It has the advantage of being a minimally invasive procedure that may be completed in the office in 10 minutes with local anesthetic. The outcome is immediately visible, and the patient can resume his normal activities.

The disadvantage of this method is that it does not treat all of the concerns related with beard hypoplasia. When conducted by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, this procedure has no significant side effects.

Chin surgery can be coupled with other cosmetic procedures like as Rhinoplasty.
