Genioplasty

Chin surgery

Aesthetic imperfections in the lower part of the face spoil the appearance and add age. Plastic will help solve the problems. Genioplasty and mentoplasty are surgical interventions that allow you to change the shape of the chin.
Using modern available techniques, surgeons correct the size and improve the features of the face and neck. The oval takes on harmonious shapes without a double chin or other flaws in profile and front.

Types of surgery

Effective types of surgery can solve almost any problem: remove a double chin, correct the shape without harm to health. Plastic surgery is performed using safe techniques. The method of surgery is selected depending on the goals and clinical picture.
Magnifying

Augmentation surgery involves two different methods:

  • Bone or osteotomy. During the operation, the bone is sawed, a certain fragment is displaced, and then fixed with titanium plates.
  • Implantation. The surgery can be performed with perforated or textured implants. The work can be done with an implant made of silicone or from the patient’s nasal, rib, or ear cartilage.
Reducing
Mentoplasty for chin reduction is carried out using two methods: cutting bone tissue and removing excess; posterior displacement of bone fragments. First, the sawn fragment is removed and then modeled. The extracted element is carefully polished. Afterwards it is installed in the desired area.
Contour
Contour correction is carried out with special fillers. The recesses are filled with the composition. The contour procedure can become an independent or additional technique. With its help, the doctor perfects the shape of the lower third of the oval.
At the ForMe clinic, we perform chin augmentation using SU-POR implants made of porous high-density polyethylene.

Preparing for surgery

The procedure is performed after careful preparation. The scope of examinations depends on the type of operation. For example, an orthodontic consultation may be required.

Preparation includes:

blood, urine and other tests;
conducting an ECG;
performing FLG;
additional consultations with specialists.
If necessary, the surgeon holds a consultation with orthodontists and other doctors.

Progress of the procedure

The duration of correction of the chin area depends on the complexity: the procedure lasts from 1 to 4 hours. For example, bone mentoplasty involves cutting the bone followed by the installation of plates and requires more time. The use of general anesthesia guarantees maximum patient comfort during surgery.

The procedure is performed using internal or external access methods. With the external technique, an incision is made under the chin. During internal work, the surgeon makes an incision in the lower fornix of the vestibule of the cavity. Internal access is considered less traumatic. After surgery, no noticeable scars remain, and healing time is significantly reduced.

Rehabilitation

During recovery, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations. Lifting and working methods require rehabilitation. In the first 7 days after the manipulations, swelling is present. It takes about 5 weeks for the tissue to heal. To improve the healing process, wearing a bandage is recommended.

The menu should be reviewed: give preference to soft, semi-liquid, warm dishes. It is necessary to maintain oral hygiene every day. Don't neglect brushing your teeth. After each meal you need to rinse your mouth. You will have to give up physical activity for a while. Visiting the beach, pool, sauna or bathhouse must be excluded.

    Джимиев Мулдар Русланович – это находка! Если вы хотите безупречный живот, то он сделает все идеально. Я решилась на абдоминопластику с диастазом (обвисшая кожа после родов). Доктор ушил диастаз, устранил лишнюю кожу и перенёс пупок. Всё это "бесшовным" методом. Пупки у него, конечно, лучшие! А сам доктор душевный и внимательный!
