Genioplasty Overview
The chin plays a crucial role in the overall harmony of the face, contributing to its balance and aesthetic appeal. A genioplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at altering the chin's shape and position, often performed for cosmetic reasons rather than medical necessity. It may involve reconstructing the chin or jaw.
Cosmetic and Functional Benefits
This technique involves realigning and reshaping the chin. The surgeon makes an incision, typically hidden inside the mouth, to access the chin bone. They then cut and reposition the bone forward, backward, or sideways, helping to correct asymmetry or alignment issues.
This procedure enhances a small or recessed chin by inserting an implant. Surgeons often sculpt the implant to fit the patient's unique anatomy. Various materials, such as silicone, Teflon, and Medpor, can be used. The incision may be made inside the mouth or beneath the chin, and the surgery usually lasts between 30 minutes to three hours.
“I do every procedure three times. I do it all in my head in advance. I do the actual surgery. I review it all from start to finish to look for ways to improve. This way, each procedure I do is my best work.”
Precision Revision for Better Facial Harmony
Before undergoing genioplasty, patients should complete the following steps:
The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia, often general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a horizontal incision at the base of the jawline. Using a surgical saw, they perform an osteotomy, cutting a portion of the chin bone. Depending on the desired outcome, the bone may be moved in various directions. To shorten a long chin, the cut piece may be removed; to lengthen a short chin, space is left for new bone to grow.
The surgeon prepares the implant before the procedure. An incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin. After inserting the implant, the surgeon stitches the incision closed.

Post-surgery, patients can expect soreness, swelling, and bruising in the chin area. To alleviate discomfort, apply ice packs and sleep in an elevated position during the first few days.
