corrective chin surgery, genioplasty

Corrective chin surgery is of major importance for the Aesthetic Axis® of the nose, jaw and chin. It can also be a requirement in corrective jaw surgery and may be necessary to restore normal muscle function and to improve the closure of the mouth.

The chin surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia as an inpatient procedure in our hospital. Depending on the scale of surgery it may also be performed as a day case. You can therefore be discharged after a few hours.

The wound in the mouth is stitched together with fine silk suture. The stitches are removed after about 10 days.
The titanium plates and screws are removed about six to 12 months later under short-acting general anesthesia. This procedure can be carried out as a day case. You can be discharged after a few hours.
