About Genioplasty

Genioplasty in India starts from $1800. The total cost of the treatment depends on the diagnosis and facilities opted by the patient.

Genioplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery, which involves reshaping or repositioning the chin to enhance facial harmony.

Oral-maxillofacial surgeons, who are trained in treating the face, head, mouth, and jaw, can perform genioplasty procedures. But, plastic surgeons are able to perform this surgery if they have the required training and experience. Genioplasty is a cosmetic surgery and people choose it to have better looks.

There are several ways of performing this procedure:

  • Side-to-side, Help with Asymmetrical Chins
  • Vertical Changes, Like Making the Chin Longer/Shorter
  • Moving the Chin Forward
  • Pushback and Moving the Chin Backward

People typically undergo genioplasty procedures to alter the physical appearance of their chin. As a result, people consider genioplasty to be a form of cosmetic surgery.

There are two types of Genioplasty:

Sliding Genioplasty: In a sliding genioplasty, the surgeon uses a special tool to cut the chin bone. They reposition your chin by sliding it backward or forward.

Implant Augmentation: The surgeons can elongate, reshape, or enhance an individual’s chin by attaching plastic and silicone implants around the chin bone.

Frequently asked questions about Genioplasty

People need to consult a licensed surgeon for clinical evaluation before undergoing a chin augmentation procedure. The surgeon will evaluate the person’s medical history and health status. The surgeon will also measure the person’s face and recommend X-ray as well as CT images of their jaw.

Once a surgeon has finalized the most viable option, they could make recommendations and begin planning the procedure. Surgeons will decide whether to use filler injections, implants, or a combination of both. They will also recommend the material of the implant as well as the fillers. Generally, people need to avoid consuming solid foods for at least 6–8 hours before surgery. The patient can drink liquids for 2 hours before surgery.

Chin augmentation requires general anesthesia. Though an individual might be able to go home after the surgery, he/she needs to make some transportation arrangements beforehand.

Postoperative Complications and Risks-
Sliding genioplasty is a safe and effective method of enhancing the chin’s appearance. But, the surgical procedure has some side effects and complications listed below:

  • Swelling
  • Loss of Sensation or Numbness
  • Redness or Bruising
  • Tenderness and Pain
  • Changes in Implant Position
  • Damage to the Nerves or Tooth Roots
  • Allergic Reaction to Implant Material or Filler

Benefits of Genioplasty-

  • Results are Permanent
  • An Improved Side Profile
  • A Refined Jawline
  • Balancing Out a Strong Nose
  • A More Confident Appearance
  • Increase Confidence
  • Natural Results
  • Several Options to suit all Patients’ Needs

Follow-Up Care-
Many factors affect the recovery times, such as:

  • How Fast the Body Heals
  • Any Complications Like Infections
  • The Type of Procedure
  • The Number of Surgical Changes

After the procedure, a person can go back home after 7 days. The chin is healed within a few weeks. But the complete recovery happens when there are no signs of swelling, which may take 3 months. People who have sliding genioplasty must have regular follow-up appointments with their surgeon to check their healing and address the complications. Dermal fillers usually leave no scars and have fewer recovery times than implant surgeries and sliding genioplasty.
