Genioplasty
Indications: Withdrawn or prominent chin
Anesthesia: General
The incision: The inside of the mouth, no visible
scar
Stay in clinic: 24 hours
Recovery: 8 to 12 days
What is
This procedure allows you to change the shape
or position of the chin. You can only do it when it has reached the
total bone growth.
While generally a cosmetic problem, abnormalities of the
position of the chin also cause damage to the gums of the lower
teeth and can be an obstacle to the closing of the lips.
Before the intervention
Full analysis and a thorough examination of the chin.
Any medication containing aspirin should be avoided 10 days before the operation.
The anesthesiologist will conduct a prior consultation.
The surgery
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour.
According to the characteristics of the patient, the incisions made inside the mouth (invisible scars) or under the chin (well hidden scar).
Techniques:
- Receding chin: placing a silicone implant or a bone graft to model the tip of the chin.
- Chin forward: reduction of excess bone in the chin.
- Double chin: Simple or liposuction associated with a reduction of excess skin
After the surgery
Hospitalization is the 24 hours.
Swelling and bruising may occur on the cheeks and lips which disappear within a few days. The mobility of the jaw may
be hampered for some time.
To facilitate healing is essential to make a perfect oral hygiene.
Avoid overly hot, cold or spicy dishes and leave
the snuff, alcohol and exciting drinks.
Results
The final result will be seen after three months of intervention.
Risks
Bleeding, swelling, infection, abnormal shape, injury to the teeth, broken jaw or loss of sensation in the lips.
