WHAT IS CHIN SURGERY | CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY | CHIN IMPLANT | MENTOPLASTY | GENIOPLASTY?
At Sandia Oral Surgery, we want you to feel great about your appearance and confident in your body which is why we proudly offer treatments that provide the look you’ve always dreamed of. Dr. Tuggle understands the value of a solid and well-defined chin for both men and women and uses surgical techniques to improve the chin’s size and shape.
WHAT IS GENIOPLASTY?
Genioplasty is the medical term for surgery that alters the shape and size and improves contours of the chin, neck, and jawline. If you are looking for more balanced facial features, a chin enhancement could be the ideal solution. We can either move your chin to the desired position during a simple procedure and fix it in place with screws or place chin implants.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
There are several types of genioplasty. Dr. Tuggle can:
WHAT DOES THE PROCESS OF ADJUSTING MY CHIN BONE ENTAIL?
Dr. Tuggle cuts the chin bone away from the rest of the jaw and moves it to the desired location. This procedure is called osteotomy and can be used to increase or decrease the profile projection of the chin. We take pride in tailoring your surgery to your unique needs as we assess facial balance and your desired goals.
DOES CHIN SURGERY | CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY | CHIN IMPLANT | MENTOPLASTY | GENIOPLASTY HURT?
No! Genioplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia so that you will be completely comfortable. You may experience swelling or slight discomfort as you heal the first week. We provide all necessary aftercare instructions. Taking any prescribed pain medications will keep you ahead of any possible pain, and Dr. Tuggle is always available should you have any difficulty or concern.
ENHANCING THE JAWLINE WITH CHIN IMPLANTS
Today’s chin implants not only enhance bone structure and overall aesthetics, but they contribute to a well-defined jawline which brings facial balance and harmony.
HOW DOES CHIN SURGERY | CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY | CHIN IMPLANT | MENTOPLASTY | GENIOPLASTY WORK?
Dr. Tuggle makes a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth, creating a space to place the implant around the chin bone. A chin implant is a simple procedure that generally takes less than an hour. Once the surgery is complete, Dr. Tuggle closes the incision with sutures.
DOES CHIN SURGERY | CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY | CHIN IMPLANT | MENTOPLASTY | GENIOPLASTY HURT?
No. We administer general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure our patients are comfortable. Chin implant surgery is an outpatient procedure.
WHAT IS CHIN SURGERY | CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY | CHIN IMPLANT | MENTOPLASTY | GENIOPLASTY RECOVERY LIKE?
Because chin implants require no bone cutting, recovery is comparatively quick and comfortable. Dr. Tuggle will provide you with aftercare instructions that need you to sleep facing up at a slightly elevated height for the first couple weeks after surgery to reduce swelling and promote healing. Most patients can return to work and normal activities with a week and strenuous exercise within a month.
HOW LONG DOES A CHIN SURGERY | CHIN AUGMENTATION SURGERY | CHIN IMPLANT | MENTOPLASTY | GENIOPLASTY LAST?
Although we age and our appearance changes, chin implants are designed to last forever. Unless there is trauma to the face, these solid and durable medical devices should never be replaced.
