Genioplasty Sydney

With Dr. Mark Kohout

What is Genioplasty?

Genioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reposition the chin. It can involve moving the chin bone forward, backward, up, or down to alter facial symmetry, alleviate a receding or prominent chin, or address other structural concerns. 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 alteration, reconstructive needs, or increasing jaw alignment, and may be done alongside other facial surgeries for optimal results.

Individual results vary due to personal health factors and genetics, and all surgical procedures carry inherent risks that should be discussed with a qualified health professional.

Am I a Candidate?

Determining if surgery is appropriate for you requires a thorough health assessment. Generally, we look for patients who meet the following benchmarks to assist in a smoother recovery:

How is the procedure performed?

Anaesthesia and Incision

The procedure begins with local or general anaesthesia for patient comfort and safety. The surgeon then makes a small incision, typically inside the mouth or under the chin, to reduce visible scarring.

Bone Reshaping or Implantation

Depending on the desired outcome, the surgeon either reshapes the chin bone or places an implant. This step aims to increase 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 help make genioplasty accessible to all patients.
