Genioplasty
(Corrective Chin Surgery)
Genioplasty (including Chin Wing Osteotomy, Chin Augmentation, Chin Repositioning Surgery) is of great importance for harmonizing the Aesthetic Axis nose - jaw - chin. It may also be necessary in case of orthognathic surgery to normalize muscular function and improvement of mouth closure. For this reason, genioplasty should only be performed by an experienced specialist.
Procedure
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the extent of procedure, surgery is also possible on a day-case basis. In this case, you can be discharged after a few hours.
The procedure is performed intraorally in the mucosal fold of the mandible. Therefore, no scars are visible. The lower edge of the lower jaw is cut transversely below the roots of the mandibular teeth. This allows the split bone to be moved in the desired direction. Here it is fixed in its new position with mini plates and titanium screws.
The intraoral surgical wound is closed with thin silk threads. These are removed after about ten days.
