What is long chin surgery?

 What is long chin surgery?

The chin is a major feature of the lower face and has a big impact on the appearance of other features, especially the nose.While most of the people who request corrective chin surgery/reshaping of the chin bone (osseous genioplasty/mentoplasty) have an overly-small or receding chin, some are unhappy with an overly long or prominent chin.

A large chin (also known as macrogenia) affects facial proportions, making the face appear “bottom-heavy” and more masculine. Women often request correction of a long chin to feminize the face to better reflect their identity and improve self-esteem.

 



Recovering from chin & jaw surgery

Most genioplasty performed through incisions inside the mouth so there is no external or visible evidence surgery. There are new techniques in orthognathic surgery to decrease the swelling and recovery time associated with larger operations. Immediately after your surgery, you may feel discomfort and mild pain. Depending on the procedure, you may also experience tingling and swelling. Any pain should be relieved with over-the-counter or non-opioid painkillers.

 

Most of the pain and swelling will improve within the first few days after surgery. You may be restricted to a liquid diet for a few days. After this time you will be able to start eating soft foods and eventually return to your normal diet. Your surgeon will advise when you can return to strenuous activity.
