Genioplasty/Chin Reduction in India

Procedure

During the consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the patient’s current health status. He will measure the patient’s face and will take the CT and X-ray of the jaw. Once the surgeon figures out the most suitable option for his patient, he starts planning for the procedure.

In sliding Genioplasty, the surgeon makes an incision along the lower gums and inside of the lower lips. Once the chin bone is exposed, the surgeon will make a vertical cut in the chin, and that is used as a reference point. The surgeon makes a horizontal cut below the root of the bottom teeth and slides it forward, sideways, or backward. Once the chin is positioned, the surgeon will check the alignment of the bone and file any excess bone on the jawline. Chin bone is then reattached with screws and metal plates. Incisions are then closed.

In implant segmentation, a surgeon makes a small incision on either side of the mouth or under the chin. From the incision, the implant is inserted and positioned around the chin bone. The surgeon attaches the implants and closes the incision.

Recovery

The chin may heal within a few weeks. However, complete recovery occurs when there is no residual swelling, and that can take up to three months. Patients having sliding Genioplasty should take regular follow up sessions in which their surgeon will monitor their healing.

Known complications

Sliding Genioplasty and Implant augmentation, both are safe and effective procedures to enhance the chin’s appearance. There can be temporary side-effects like redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, loss of sensation, and very rarely infections.

Recent advances

A lot has been done to reduce the recovery time and ease up the discomfort of the patient after Genioplasty. The new techniques are both safe and effective to improve the chin projections for functional as well as cosmetic purposes. A variety of techniques exist for Genioplasty, and most produce positive results, aesthetically and functionally. However, it depends on the surgeon what method he picks up to minimize complications and maximize the benefits.
