Various Options in Genioplasty

• Implant surgery: The procedure is suitable for older patients and those requiring small augmentation. This procedure entails placement of an implant, most often silicone, in the chin. Based on the desired augmentation, different implants can be chosen. Implant surgery ensures excellent results with minimal risks, pain or discomfort.
• Bone surgery: The procedure entails precise cutting of the chin bone and moving it to the proper location. It involves reducing the size of the chin, changing its vertical position; it is recommended for larger advancements that require stability. This approach typically offers our patients faster recovery, less risk of infection and almost no long term problems.
• Soft tissue procedures: Some patients will require soft tissue procedures to further define the result.

For evaluating the patient’s condition, we examine photographs showing both frontal and lateral views of the face. The overall dimensions of the face and the position of the chin are accurately measured and compared. This is to facilitate digital morphing of the chin so that the expected changes can be proposed and reviewed.
