The chin is among the most defining features of the facial aesthetic. Even a small reshaping of the chin can remarkably improve the facial appearance. It can make one look more masculine or feminine, or more youthful, as desired. The contour change obtained with genioplasty is permanent. Therefore, genioplasty surgery warrants a detailed doctor-patient discussion and meticulous pre-surgical planning.
Genioplasty surgery is a safe and simple procedure performed under general anesthesia. It involves separating the bony chin from the lower jaw and repositioning it into a more aesthetic position. The chin is then fixed into its new position using sterile titanium miniplates.
The wound is thoroughly washed and closed with a few stitches. The complete procedure takes roughly 60 minutes. The entire surgery is done from inside the oral cavity with no scars or stitches anywhere on the face.
At our centre, the use of piezosurgery for bone cutting prevents the risk of injury to vital nerves and teeth during surgery, making the entire treatment experience safer and more comfortable for the patient. Also, the fixation plates used are premium quality and steam sterilized to prevent any risk of infection.
