Aesthetic chin surgery is very common, this type of surgery is a solution for those who want to improve the size and shape of the chin. Genioplasty is understood as a sure way to improve facial features, an implant can help improve the facial profile or place the chin aligned with the nose and forehead; Another usefulness that can be applied before performing a genioplasty is the stretching of the skin of the neck (eliminate the dewlap) thus improving the contour of this area.

Chin Enlargement Surgery

This cosmetic surgery is an outpatient procedure, the time that is invested in the intervention depends on many factors but it is usually 45 minutes to an hour and a half with local or general anesthesia. For chin enlargement surgery an incision is made in the mouth between the gum and the lower lip which will avoid scarring, another incision is made in the chin to insert the implant and position the implant in front of the maxilla. The surgeon will verify the balance of the implant with the other facial features so that it is in harmony and with an appropriate appearance. The sutures dissolve within the mouth dissolve in about 10 days and the sutures that are left out of the mouth are removed at the same time.

Genioplasty Complications
Each cosmetic surgery has its complications and many times it is reflected in the side effects of anesthesia, which can affect the respiratory system. Another important complication of this cosmetic surgery is the migration of the implant once it has been placed which can generate a second intervention to adjust the alignment of the implant. Infection is the most common complication of all but it is effectively controlled with the consumption of antibiotics. It is possible that small nerves are affected that generate insensibility in the lip and chin after the surgical intervention.
