Chin bone grafting

Surgery to correct the shape of the chin using only the patient’s bone material.

Correcting the shape of your chin is an opportunity to get those facial features that you have long dreamed of. More masculine or softer, creating the impression on others that you were hoping for.

The operation produces results that look natural and last a lifetime.

Indications for mentoplasty (genioplasty)

Asymmetry.
Consequences of injuries.
Dissatisfaction with the size.
Congenital defects (chin slanted to one side, protruding strongly forward, etc.).

Contraindications to mentoplasty (genioplasty)

Oncology.
Chronic diseases in the acute stage.
Pregnancy and lactation.
Diabetes.
Gel previously injected into the chin.

It is mandatory to consult a doctor and undergo tests for contraindications. You can submit them directly to our clinic.

Operation

Surgical intervention, usually lasting within 2 hours, will eliminate the aesthetic defect. The advantage of chin bone grafting over other types (lipofilling, implantation, fillers) is obvious: there are no allergic reactions or rejection, an “eternal” result.

Operation procedure:

Preoperative markings.
Anesthesia is performed.
The surgeon performs an osteotomy (middle cut of the lower jaw).
The bone wedge moves to the required position. The outline of the chin is formed, agreed upon with the patient in advance.
The displaced bone is securely fixed in its new position.

The patient comes to his senses already in the ward, where he will spend at least 1 day under the supervision of a doctor. Modern pain relief will relieve discomfort. There may be slight discomfort after the surgeon’s manipulations, but it goes away as you get used to the changed proportions of the face and the shape of the chin.

Rehabilitation after chin bone grafting

Avoid pressure and any mechanical impact on the chin.
Do not visit the bathhouse, sauna, or sunbathe.
Avoid heavy lifting and physical activity.
Include foods rich in polyunsaturated fats in your diet. These are fatty fish, nuts, olive oil, cottage cheese and sour cream with high fat content.

A set of rehabilitation procedures will help speed up recovery after chin bone grafting, which you can begin while still in the clinic. It is also important to follow the instructions of your doctor, who will carefully instruct you before discharge.
