Beauty is always based on an individual’s self-perception, but facial features are often an important factor in determining overall beauty standards. The chin, located in the middle of the face, plays a key role in maintaining this balance. However, aesthetic problems may occur in the chin area due to genetic factors, the aging process, trauma or congenital abnormalities. At this point, genioplasty, a plastic surgery method that comes into play, i.e. chin tip aesthetics, offers solutions to these problems.
What is Genioplasty?
Genioplasty, also called chin tip aesthetics, is a surgical intervention performed to correct aesthetic problems in the chin area. This procedure aims to correct jaw size, shape and position. It is generally preferred to eliminate discrepancies in the chin area, improve the profile or correct the general aesthetics of the chin.
Genioplasty with Surgery and Soft Tissue Fillers
Genioplasty can be performed by surgical and non-surgical methods (with fillers).
- Surgical Genioplasty: In this method, the surgeon accesses the jawbone through an incision usually made inside the mouth. He makes the necessary corrections to the jawbone and usually replaces it with a chin implant or bone graft. This may be done to reduce, enlarge or shape the size of the chin.
- Genioplasty with Soft Tissue Fillers: In this method, which is a more minimally invasive option, volume is added to the chin tip area by using fillers such as hyaluronic acid or polymethylmethacrylate. This method offers a chin correction solution that does not require surgery.
Who is it suitable for?
Genioplasty may be a suitable option for individuals who have aesthetic problems in the chin area for various reasons:
- Those who are dissatisfied with jaw size and shape.
- Those who want to ensure profile balance.
- Those with congenital jaw abnormalities.
- Those experiencing post-traumatic jaw deformity.
Healing and Results After Genioplasty
Swelling and bruising may often occur after surgical genioplasty, but these effects diminish over time. After genioplasty with soft tissue fillings, you can immediately return to daily activities. The full recovery process varies from person to person, but usually takes a few weeks.
Genioplasty can offer an effective solution for those who want to correct chin aesthetics. However, as with every surgical intervention, this procedure also involves certain risks. Therefore, it is important for those considering genioplasty to have a detailed consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon and clearly express their expectations. It should not be forgotten that the best results are surgical interventions that preserve the natural beauty of the person and create a chin aesthetic that suits the facial features.
