First of all, let us define genioplasty!

Genioplasty, also called chin surgery or mentoplasty refers to the surgical procedure of chin reshaping with the purpose of facial beauty enhancement.

When the surgery is done on a small or recessed chin, it’s called chin augmentation. When the surgery is aimed to reduce a prominent chin, the procedure is called chin reduction.

Depending on the type of surgery, either plastic or maxillofacial surgeons may carry out the surgery. The procedure will also differ based on what type of improvement your chin requires. These procedures will be discussed in section ‘how is chin surgery performed?’.

How is chin surgery performed in Iran?

Chin surgery aims at creating a balance between the chin and other facial features. It is done either by augmenting or reducing the size of the chin. So, the procedure will vary depending on the type of surgery.

Types of chin enhancement procedures

There are several ways for enhancing your chin shape and size. These ways are shortly explained below:

Osseous or sliding genioplasty

This surgery is one of the most frequently done forms of genioplasty since it easily adapts or can be adapted to many different functions.

In this method, the surgeon makes an incision through the gum. The chin bone is then cut, which enables the surgeon to break the chin bone in a controllable way. Then he moves the bone to its new position and fixes it into place with tiny screws. The incision will then be sewn up with dissolvable stitches. To increase or reduce the length of the face, the bone can be moved up or down as well.

Chin implant

People with weak chins who need chin augmentation may benefit from this type of surgery. In this procedure, an implant, typically made from silicone, is inserted and adhered to the chin bone.

Dermal fillers

For those who are looking for a non-surgical solution to add harmony to their face, dermal fillers may be a good option. With injecting dermal fillers beneath the chin’s skin, the jawline and chin will be augmented.

Fat transfer

Going for one of the aforementioned methods depends on the patient’s condition and preference. When the chin is extremely protruded or recessed, the surgeon may recommend a chin implant or sliding genioplasty.

Fat transfer and dermal fillers are recommended for those who are looking for a temporary solution or less modification on their chins.

What about a double chin?

Double chin refers to the excess sagging fat under the chin, which occurs due to obesity, genetics, or other factors. A double chin can be treated through double chin fat removal. This procedure can be done using other cosmetic procedures like liposuction. To learn more about this procedure, go to ‘double chin surgery in Iran‘.

What to expect after genioplasty?

The surgery stitches will be absorbed soon. So, you won’t need to go to the hospital to have them removed.

In the case of fillers and fat grafting, no serious recovery period is involved. These procedures can barely be considered as surgery. For both procedures, there may be some degree of swelling, although the patient is able to return to work the day after the procedure.

A practical point for your care

Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.[1]

Planning treatment in Shiraz

Ask SanaMedTour about the appropriate specialty, appointment arrangements and practical support for your visit. The treating clinician confirms the diagnosis, treatment options, suitability and follow-up after assessment.

Request an itemised written quote identifying the clinician, facility, tests, treatment, medicines, reviews and any accommodation or transfers included.
