Chin Augmentation ( Genioplasty) in iran FAQ

Chin Augmentation ( Genioplasty) in iran FAQ

Chin augmentation with implants can enhance a person’s weak chin or create symmetry or an aesthetically pleasing shape within the facial structure. Implants can also be used for reconstruction in cases involving birth defects or trauma-related incidents.

Chin implants are made primarily of a soft, rubbery, flexible material such as solid silicone that is inserted through a small incision under your chin. The material is biocompatible, meaning that your body will not react adversely to it.

During your surgical consultation for chin augmentation, you should discuss the reasons you’re interested in a chin augmentation, as well as your goals. The surgeon will then explain what can be achieved realistically with chin augmentation. He or she will take into account your facial dimensions and shape, and make recommendations about the type, size and placement of the chin implant. The surgeon will also go over the risks of chin augmentation surgery, what you can expect during recovery, and the cost of the procedure.

The chin augmentation operation is usually performed using light sleep anesthesia or, if combined with other procedures, general anesthesia. This procedure takes from one to two hours to perform. The incisions will be placed as inconspicuously as possible, either inside the mouth (intraorally) or under the chin (extraorally). The implant may be screwed into the jawbone to attach it firmly and permanently.

A sliding genioplasty, or chin advancement, is a surgical procedure that entails cutting a piece of bone from your lower jaw, sliding it forward and reattaching it to the jawbone. The incision for a sliding genioplasty is made within the lip.

There may be scarring. The degree of chin augmentation scarring depends on the incision technique used. If the incisions were made inside your mouth, the scars will not be visible. If external incisions were made, they should be hidden under the chin.

You can expect to resume regular activities in about one to two weeks, and can usually return to work within a week.
