What is Genioplasty?

**Genioplasty** is a surgical procedure to reshape or reposition the chin. It can involve moving the chin bone forward, backward, up, or down to improve facial symmetry, correct a receding or prominent chin, or address other structural issues. There are two main types: sliding genioplasty, which involves cutting and moving the chin bone, and implant-based genioplasty, which uses implants for reshaping. It’s often performed for aesthetic enhancement, reconstructive needs, or improving jaw alignment, and may be combined with other facial surgeries for optimal results.

How is the procedure performed?

Anesthesia and Incision

The procedure begins with local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort. The surgeon then makes a small incision, typically inside the mouth or under the chin, to minimize visible scarring.

Anaesthesia

Bone Reshaping or Implantation

Depending on the desired outcome, the surgeon either reshapes the chin bone or places an implant. This step aims to enhance chin projection or alignment.

Closing and Recovery

The incision is carefully closed, and a recovery period follows. Swelling and discomfort may occur, but the results gradually become apparent as healing progresses.

What is the Recovery like?

Recovery from Genioplasty typically involves a few key stages.
  • Swelling and bruising are common but will reduce over time.
  • Mild discomfort is expected, managed through medication.
  • Soft foods are recommended to avoid stress on the chin area.
  • Full recovery takes weeks, with the final result visible in a few months.

What are the Risks?

Genioplasty, like any surgical procedure, carries some risks. Potential complications include infection, nerve damage leading to numbness, and unsatisfactory cosmetic results. There may also be issues with scarring or asymmetry. In rare cases, there is a risk of the chin implant moving or shifting.

What are the Costs?

The cost of genioplasty surgery can vary depending on factors such as the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses, including pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and medications, may also influence the final price. Many clinics offer financing options to make the procedure more affordable. For an accurate estimate and to explore payment plans, it’s best to contact the clinic directly. We are committed to providing flexible payment options to ensure that genioplasty is accessible to all patients.
