CHIN CORRECTION - GENIOPLASTY
Your chin plays a crucial and identity-defining role in your facial aesthetics. Its shape significantly impacts how you are perceived by others. A receding chin, double chin, or other chin deformities can lead to negative perceptions and reduced likeability.
A receding or protruding chin is often extremely distressing for those affected. While a prominently shaped chin doesn’t necessarily have to be considered a flaw, it can make your face appear unbalanced, greatly impacting your self-confidence.
Chin Correction - Genioplasty (without Chin Implant)
A double chin, drooping chin, or receding chin can be treated with an outpatient procedure at our clinic. Our patients often experience a positive change shortly after the treatment: Increased self-esteem is frequently accompanied by improved posture, a more confident demeanor, and a positive aura.
The most frequently asked questions
How long does a chin correction take?
The chin correction usually takes 60 to 90 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis under anesthesia.
How long is the recovery time after a chin correction?
Most patients can resume their usual activities after one to two days. However, strenuous activities and sports should be avoided for about two weeks.
Are there visible scars after a chin correction?
In chin correction, the approach is usually made from inside the oral cavity, leaving no externally visible scars.
What methods are used for a chin correction?
Depending on the needs and findings, the chin can be corrected through enlargement or reduction. For enlargement, the chin bone is moved forward, or the patient’s own tissue is used. For reduction, the lower jawbone is shortened or shaved down.
Can a double chin also be treated?
Yes, a double chin can be removed through a minor procedure, often in the form of liposuction or tightening of the chin area.
What should be considered before a chin correction?
Before the procedure, excessive nicotine or alcohol consumption should be avoided. Blood-thinning medications must be disclosed during the preliminary consultation. Precise planning and examination, including 3D imaging, are necessary to achieve the best results.
What are the causes of a receding chin?
