indications
Chin surgery corrects two types of defects:- A receding chin: when the chin projects slightly backward toward the neck.
- A protruding chin: an exceptionally narrow and protuberant chin.
The latter extends from the forehead to the base of the chin. The chin is called protruding if it exceeds the line.
On the other hand, it is described as receding if the chin is projected backward in comparison with the line.
Genioplasty & other procedures
It is possible to conjoin genioplasty to other procedures depending on the medical case:- If there is excess fat in the chin, a liposuction will be conducted prior to genioplasty.
- Rhinoplasty is often performed at the same time as genioplasty in order to achieve a symmetrical and well-balanced look between the nose and the chin. This is known as profiloplasty.
- If the chin is receding, a lipofilling can be considered.
Before procedure
During the preliminary consultation, the surgeon will conduct a morphological analysis of the face and discuss the patient’s motivations and expectations.A medical check-up and a blood test are required before surgery.
Some instruction prior to surgery have to be followed:
- Avoid medications containing aspirin ten days before surgery
- Stop smoking one month before and after surgery
During procedure Genioplasty
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, but local anaesthesia is at times considered.The procedure is estimated to last between one hour and one hour and a half.
Depending on the patient’s facial morphology, the surgeon will either opt for sliding genioplasty or chin augmentation.
- Sliding Genioplasty: the surgeon uses a saw to cut the chin bone away from the rest of the jaw and move it to correct a chin defect. This type of genioplasty is recommended for people with severe retrogenia, or whose chin is too far back in relation to the rest of their face.
- Chin Augmentation: surgical chin augmentation involves implanting a plastic material into the chin and adhering it to the bone. Another technique called chin osteotomy can be considered. During a chin osteotomy, the surgeon makes an incision through the patient’s mouth, surgically moves the chin bone, and sets it with small, permanent plates and screws
Incisions will be sutured with the help of bandages leaving minor scaring.
After procedure Genioplasty Tunisia
Genioplasty is not a particularly painful procedure. The surgeon will however prescribe the appropriate pain medication as the patient might experience discomfort in the days following surgery.A liquid or soft-food diet is recommended during the first few days following surgery.
The patient has to wear a shaping bandage on their chin for five to eight days.
He/she must rinse their mouth with water or antiseptic oral rinse following every meal.
Bruising and swelling are expected, and both will fade away in three to four weeks.
The patient will only be allowed to resume their daily activities eight days after surgery.
