What is Chin Implants (Genioplasty)?
Genioplasty (Chin augmentation) or chin implant surgery is a cosmetic surgery that offers an excellent solution for anyone who has a weak or saggy chin, an under bite, or a larger nose to chin proportion. The chin implant procedure is designed to improve the profile of the face. Rhinoplasty is often accompanied with this procedure to help balance facial features.
A Good Candidate for Chin Implants (Genioplasty)
A good candidate for chin implant surgery defines anyone who is unhappy with the natural recession of the chin as they age, and anyone with deficiencies or asymmetries caused by trauma or congenital defects. The minimum age requirement is 18 years of age for this surgery.
Chin Implants (Genioplasty) Procedure
The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will discuss with you the method he will use to help you achieve your desired end result. There are two methods of anesthesia that may be used; local and general. Implants also come in a variety of shapes and sizes. An extensive consultation with your surgeon will aid you in selecting an implant to suit your unique bone structure and desired appearance.
During the surgery, a small incision is made either inside your lower lip or under the skin just beneath your chin. The surgeon creates a pocket over the front of your jawbone where the implant will be placed. If the incision was made inside your mouth, dissolving stitches that will dissolve in approximately 10 days will most likely be employed.
If the incision was made beneath your chin, regular stitches will be used and you will return for a follow-up visit to have the stitches removed after 5-7 days. Genioplasty is an outpatient procedure, which means that the patient can return home the same day.
Average Duration of Chin Implant Surgery: 1-2 hours.
Risks and Side Effects of Chin Implants (Genioplasty)
Potential risks and side effects may include slight numbness of the lower lip, infection due to bone transplant (even if the patient has donated his or her own bone), bleeding, undesirable scarring, and allergic reaction to the anesthesia. Risks also comprise of the possibility of the implant shifting, in which case additional surgery to correct the placement would be required.
Smoking is generally discouraged several weeks before and several weeks after the chin implant operation as it may interfere with the actual surgery itself and cause complications in the healing process.
Recovery from Chin Implants (Genioplasty)
Swelling and bruising is to be expected, but will vary from patient to patient. To avoid further bruising, the patient should eliminate physical exertion during the recovery progression.
The patient may have difficulty talking or smiling for a few days following the surgery. Cold compresses should be placed on the chin and areas around it to reduce swelling.
Strenuous activity that may jolt or displace the implant(s) is to be avoided for several weeks. Immediately following the surgery a doctor may tape the patient’s chin for extra support.
The patient should be fully recovered 3 weeks after the surgery. If your job requires strenuous activity, your doctor will request that you rest until you have completely recovered. Otherwise, you should be able to return to work within one week granting your appearance is not a weighing factor.
