Genioplasty is a
type of surgery done on the chin (surgeons who work on the mouth and jaw) can
perform this type of surgery.
Genioplasty is
most frequently a cosmetic surgery not because of a medical problem.
There are several
ways to conduct this procedure:
- advancement,
or moving the chin forward
- pushback,
or moving the chin backward
- side-to-side,
which can help with asymmetrical chins
- vertical changes, such as making the chin longer or shorter
2. Types
of genioplasty
There
are two main types of genioplasty: sliding genioplasty and chin implants.
Sliding genioplasty
In a
sliding genioplasty, a surgeon uses a saw to cut the chin bone away from the
rest of the jaw and move it to correct a chin deficiency. This type of
genioplasty is recommended for people with severe no chin, or people whose chin
is too far back in relation to the rest of their face. It can also help with
correcting chins that are pushed too far forward and are too long.
Chin
implants
Chin
implants can be used to reshape, enlarge, or push forward the appearance of the
chin. This can be accomplished via surgery or injection.
Surgical
chin augmentation involves implanting a plastic material into the chin and
adhering it to the bone.
