The different techniques of chin surgery effectively correct cosmetic defects, such as a sloping chin or a receding chin. In the case of the Chin Implant NYC process, you need to know the following.

The request relates to the correction of two types of imperfections: the galoche chin or protruding chin which is too advanced and the receding chin which, on the contrary, is too far back.

• Aesthetically, there is in profile an ideal vertical line from the forehead which passes through the nose to the horizontal base of the chin. If the chin protrudes from this line, it is protruding. If the chin is located behind this line, it is receding.
• In case of excess fat, we will first do small liposuction before starting the genioplasty procedure.
• When the chin is slightly receding, injections of hyaluronic acid can be used.

If the abnormal position of the chin leads to lesions of the lower gum with the teeth that are likely to come loose or problems with the dental articulation, for example, discomfort in closing the mouth, the patient will be referred to a smile specialist which will treat the entire lower face with maxillofacial surgery techniques.

The course of the intervention
Depending on the surgical technique used, the chin operation is performed under local or general anesthesia, on an outpatient basis or with overnight hospitalization and lasts between half an hour to an hour and a half.
The incision is concealed in the mouth on the lower gum line or it is made very discreetly under the chin.

Two techniques are possible:
• The planing the bone of the jaw: the surgeon lime the lower edge of the mandibular bone to reduce the chin projection.
• The chin recoil osteotomy: The surgeon cuts the excess bone then he reattaches the front part of the chin using plates and metal screws.

Bring forward a receding chin
Three techniques are possible:
There are either silicone or Medpor (POREX) prostheses. Both of these types of implants give good results. The choice depends both on the cosmetic defect to be corrected, on the wishes of the patient and the habits of the surgeon. Chin implants also have various shapes: central prosthesis, prosthesis with small lateral wings, etc. The surgeon then inserts the chin implant into a custom pocket at the level of the lower jaw bone. The prosthesis is concealed by the thickness of the fat and muscles of the chin. This is a part of the Chin Augmentation Manhattan service.

Chin advancement osteotomy
The surgeon cuts the chin bone horizontally to create a bone fragment which is then advanced and secured in the desired position using metal plates and screws.

Bone grafting:
The surgeon takes the graft he needs from the bump of the nose when doing a profiloplasty or from the skull, pelvis, etc. to reshape the chin.
