INTRODUCTION

  facial harmony.

  training and experience in treating the head,
  face, mouth and jaw typically perform
  genioplasty.

  to alter the physical appearance of their chin.
  As a result, people consider genioplasty to be a
  form of cosmetic surgery.

WHY IT IS DONE

• Surgeons use genioplasty or chin repositioning
  surgery to correct the following problems
• Receding chins, or retrogenia
• Overly large or extended chins
• Chins that are too short or too tall
• Misaligned or asymmetrical chins
• Abnormal dental bite

5
TYPES

• There are two main types of genioplasty

Sliding genioplasty Implant augmentation
 The surgeon uses a saw to cut the chin bone away from the rest of the jaw. He repositions the chin by sliding it forward or backward to correct receding or protruding chins. After repositioning the chin bone, a surgeon will reattach it to the jaw with surgical screws. Surgeons can reshape, or enhance a persons chin by attaching plastic or silicone implants around the existing chin bone. The surgeon places an implant over the chin bone, securing it with stitches or screws. This type of chin augmentation involves injecting fillers to enhance the shape of the chin and the overall appearance of the face.

PROCEDURE

• Sliding genioplasty procedure
• The surgery involves cuts along the border of the
  lower gum inside of the lower lip.
• Once the chin bone is exposed, the surgeon makes
  a small vertical cut in the chin. Then, he makes
  a horizontal cut below the roots of the bottom
  teeth.
• The surgeon can change the height of the chin by
  cutting at different angles. 
• He slides the bone fragment forward, backward, or
  sideways. After positioning the chin, the surgeon
  will check the alignment.
• Then, he will reattach the chin bone to the jaw
  with screws and a metal plate.

7
PROCEDURE

• Implant augmentation procedure
• The surgeon makes a small incision either on the
  inside of the mouth or under the chin.
• He inserts the implant through the incision and
  position it around the chin bone then attach the
  implant.
• The surgeon closes the incision with stitches.

8
RECOVERY

• After the surgery a person can go back to work
  after seven days.
• The chin may appear completely healed within a
  few weeks. However, complete recovery occurs when
  there are no more signs of residual swelling,
  which can take 3 months.
• People who have sliding genioplasty or implant
  surgeries should attend regular follow-up
  appointments for their surgeon to monitor their
  healing and address any complications.
