The Genioplasty Surgery Procedure

Genioplasty is a simple and safe procedure that takes approximately 60 -90 minutes to perform. rnAfter placing you under general anaesthesia, your surgeon makes an incision inside your mouth, hiding the resulting scar. Through this incision, they then separate your bony chin from your lower jaw using the state-of-the-art Piezotome device to perform ultrasonic bone surgery. Once this separation happens, they to reshape and reposition your chin per your desires. For sharper results, your surgeon may also remove a vertical section of your chin and pull together the lateral halves, creating a better V-shape. The Piezotome offers an unprecedented level of precision, targeting only the bone. In the process, it leaves all neighbouring tissue and nerve structures intact. This safety ensures a smoother, more speed recovery with enhanced results. Additionally, at well-equipped centres, surgeons use 3D printed guides after the simulation for even better results. With these guides and the Piezotome, you get a much sleeker, more aesthetic and desirable chin. Genioplasty is often called sharp jawline surgery since your surgeon may combine it with jawline contouring and buccal pad fat removal for more dramatic results.rnOnce the chin is sufficiently reshaped and repositioned, it is fixed with steam sterilised titanium plates. The incision is then closed with absorbable sutures.
