Who should undergo Chin Surgery?

Chin surgery in Turkey can be exploited by those who have problems with their chins, such as:

• A prominent chin;
• A protruding chin;
• Skeletal deformation;
• Retrogeny;
• A microgeny;
• A fleeing chin;
• Hypoplasia of the chin;
• Mandibular hypoplasia;
• A hemifacial microsomy;
• A lack of facial harmony.

What are the expected results from Chin Surgery?

The objectives of the procedure are:

• Create an aesthetically pleasing facial contour;
• Establish a proportional facial height.

In a study of 40 patients with genioplasty, the majority were generally satisfied with the results of the surgical procedure and only one of them was subject to certain reservations regarding the results, but not enough to get further adjustments. No significant complications were observed during a two-year follow-up period. The resulting appearance and position of the chin were well maintained in all cases.

How is the Sliding Genioplasty in Turkey performed?

In a sliding genioplasty in Turkey, the surgeon cuts the chin bone away from the rest of the jawbone, and move it to adjust a chin inadequacy. This is also called an osseous mentoplasty.

Sliding genioplasty is advised for patients with severe retrogenia, or those whose chin is too far back from the rest of their face. It can also help with adjusting chins that are too long or pushed too far forward.

The operation is undertaken under general anesthesia after a pre-anesthesia consultation.

In the beginning, your surgeon will pull down your lower lip and make an incision on the gum below your bottom teeth. Then the gingival tissue is separated from the jawbone. Your surgeon will cut a small vertical line in the chin. This guarantees the that bone will remain straight when it’s displaced forward or backward.

In most cases, the chin is approached by incisions of the oral mucosa (no external scars). The surgeon cuts the chin below the teeth so that it can be moved in the intended direction before the procedure. Then, the bone fragments are fixed by steel wires or titanium mini-plates (osteosynthesis).

To make your chin longer (chin augmentation), the surgeon reattach the bone with a gap between the rest of the jaw and the chin. Bone will regenerate itself over time and fill this space. To make your chin shorter (chin reduction), he will remove the cuneus of bone and reattach your chin to the rest of your jawbone.

Stitches are placed in the mouth. They disappear in 2 to 4 weeks or are removed in consultation.

Several techniques make it possible to back a protruding chin: the surgeon can remove excess fat and fatty tissue, file the lower edge of the mandibular bone, or cut the excess bone (osteotomy) then reattach the front part of the chin.

Techniques of Sliding Genioplasty in Turkey

For receding chin surgery, there are also different methods:

• The implant: the prosthesis is concealed by the thickness of the fat and muscles of the chin.
• Chin advancement osteotomy: the surgeon cuts the bone of the chin to create a bone fragment that is then advanced and secured in the desired position using metal plates and screws.
• Bone graft: The surgeon collects the necessary graft from the nose when doing profiloplasty (nose and chin surgery) or elsewhere.

Aftercare

After your surgery, your plastic surgeon will advise you to take antibiotics for two days. Oral surgical sutures are absorbable, so there’s no need to return to the hospital or the clinic to remove them.

You can begin eating normal food as soon as you feel ready. A liquid or soft-food diet is advised. You need to wash your mouth with water or an antiseptic solution after every meal.

After five postoperative days, you can remove your wound compression tape, and go back to your daily activities. Don’t practice sport for the first eight postoperative weeks.

You may notice puffiness, inflammation, or bruising, which should disappear after a few days.

If you have any of the following symptoms, you should contact your doctor instantly:

• Fever superior of 38˚C degrees;
• Bruising, inflammation, or puffiness that doesn’t disappear within a week;
• Unpleasant smell coming from the incision;
• Yellow or green discharge;
• Bleeding that can’t be stopped with light pressure.
