Genioplasty

Improving facial symmetry.

Genioplasty is a modern procedure that dramatically improves the shape and projection of the chin, reshaping it through the placement of a specialized implant. The result is a harmonious, well-defined, and natural facial contour that elevates the overall profile and brings balance to the entire face.

THE PROCEDURE

Genioplasty is an ideal procedure for cases where there is either profile disharmony or a “receding” (hypoplastic) chin—one that is smaller than normal. A small chin can affect the appearance of the nose, making it look larger, or create the illusion of a “double chin” (jowl).

During the procedure, a silicone implant of appropriate size and morphology is custom-selected and placed through a small incision under the chin. This achieves an entirely natural and symmetrical result, uniquely enhancing the patient’s appearance.

As a result, the procedure spectacularly improves the harmony between the forehead, nose, and chin, effectively restoring facial proportions and refining the profile.

COMBINED PROCEDURES

The chin is directly aesthetically linked to the nose and forehead; therefore, Genioplasty is frequently combined with Rhinoplasty and Brow Lift.

Additionally, it can be perfectly combined with a Neck Lift to rejuvenate the lower face and neck area, or a Facelift for a total aesthetic transformation that provides maximum self-confidence.

POST-OPERATIVE INFORMATION

PAIN
Post-operative pain is fully managed with specialized analgesic medication.
POST-OPERATIVE PROTECTION
A special elastic bandage is applied immediately after surgery. It is removed the following day and replaced by a specialized elastic compression garment.
STITCH REMOVAL
Stitches are removed gradually from the 4th up to the 12th day, depending on the case. Small drainage tubes are placed and removed on the 2nd day.
ACTIVITIES
The patient must keep their head elevated for the first 24 hours. Walking and light activity are permitted during the second 24-hour period. Hair washing is allowed on the third day. The procedure is performed under either general anesthesia or IV sedation (twilight anesthesia) combined with local anesthesia.

ADVANTAGES OF THE PROCEDURE

Aesthetic Facial Balance. The procedure helps improve symmetry and harmony between the forehead, nose, and chin.
