Genioplasty
Starts At $7,000
Are you dissatisfied with the appearance of your chin? Genioplasty, also known as chin surgery, offers a solution to improve the balance and harmony of your facial profile. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Genioplasty, including its benefits, candidacy, procedure details, and more.
What is Genioplasty?
Genioplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance and symmetry of the chin. By reshaping the chin bone, repositioning the chin, or augmenting it with implants, Genioplasty can improve facial balance and harmony, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing profile.
How Much Does Genioplasty Cost?
At Rejuuv Med, the cost for genioplasty starts from $7,000. This price can vary depending on the complexity of the surgery, whether it involves chin augmentation or reduction, and any additional procedures that may be needed. To ensure the best results, patients are encouraged to schedule a consultation with Rejuuv Med’s expert team to discuss their goals and receive a detailed cost estimate tailored to their needs.
Benefits of Genioplasty:
Genioplasty offers numerous benefits, including:
- Improved facial symmetry and proportion.
- Correction of a receding or protruding chin.
- Enhancement of the jawline and overall facial aesthetics.
- Increased self-confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for Genioplasty include individuals who:
- Have a receding or protruding chin that affects facial harmony.
- Desire to improve the balance and proportion of their facial features.
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
How is the Procedure Done?
Genioplasty typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
- Incision and bone manipulation: The surgeon makes incisions either inside the mouth or under the chin to access the chin bone. Depending on the desired outcome, the chin bone may be reshaped, repositioned, or augmented with implants.
- Closure: Once the necessary adjustments have been made, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures.
Recovery Time:
Following Genioplasty, patients can expect a recovery process characterized by:
- Swelling and bruising around the chin and lower face, which gradually subside over the course of a few weeks.
- Instructions for post-operative care, including dietary restrictions and oral hygiene practices.
- Return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks, although strenuous exercise and contact sports should be avoided for several weeks.
Risk Factors:
While Genioplasty is considered safe, potential risks and complications may include:
- Infection at the incision sites.
- Bleeding or hematoma formation.
- Nerve injury resulting in temporary or permanent changes in sensation.
- Unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes, though these are rare when the procedure is performed by a Rejuuvmed Surgeon
Combination with Other Procedures:
Genioplasty can be combined with complementary facial rejuvenation procedures, such as rhinoplasty or facelift, to achieve comprehensive facial enhancement and harmonization.
Pain Management:
During the procedure, patients are under general anesthesia to ensure they feel no discomfort. Afterward, any post-operative pain can be effectively managed with prescribed medications as needed.
Preparing for the Surgery:
To prepare for Genioplasty, patients may be advised to:
- Avoid smoking and certain medications that can increase the risk of complications.
- Arrange for transportation to and from the surgical facility.
- Follow any pre-operative instructions provided by Rejuuvmed surgeon, including fasting before the procedure if necessary.
Alternatives:
Non-surgical alternatives to Genioplasty may include injectable fillers or fat grafting to augment the chin temporarily. However, these options may not provide permanent results for individuals seeking long-term enhancement.
