Chin surgery (genioplasty): bringing the golden ratio to your face
Tibbi məzmun Op. Dr. Elvin Əliyev tərəfindən yoxlanılıb.
A small or receding chin disturbs the symmetry of the face. Genioplasty with an implant or with your own bone — which one suits you?
The chin accounts for around 40% of the overall balance of the face. Seen in profile, the forehead-nose-chin line should be straight — this is the golden ratio.
2 kinds of chin surgery
1. Chin implant (convenient, reversible) A silicone or Medpor implant is placed onto the chin bone. The incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin.
Advantages: - A 1-2 hour operation - 1 week of recovery - It can be taken out again
Drawbacks: - It can shift over time (5%) - Risk of infection - It shows on an X-ray
2. Sliding genioplasty (bone surgery) The chin bone is cut, moved forward, down or sideways, and fixed with screws.
Advantages: - The result is permanent - 3-D correction is possible (length, width, height) - It does not shift
Drawbacks: - A 2-3 hour operation - 2 weeks of swelling - Irreversible
Which one is for you?
| Situation | Recommendation |
| Small correction (4-6 mm) | Implant |
| Large correction (8+ mm) | Sliding |
| Asymmetry | Sliding |
| You want to test it | Implant (it can be changed later) |
| A permanent solution | Sliding |
Chin + neck = lower-third lift
Sometimes the chin and neck are done in a single operation: - Chin implant - Neck liposuction - A submental suture
This combination changes the profile dramatically.
