Main Information
<p><strong>Osseous or sliding genioplasty<br /></strong>Osseous genioplasty is one of the most common forms of genioplasty, as it is very versatile in that it can be used to either augment or reduce the size of the chin. In osseous genioplasty, the bone of the chin is broken, where it can slide forwards to augment the chin, or backwards to reduce the size of the chin. The bone can also be moved up, to reduce the length of the face, or down to increase the length of the face.</p> <p><strong>Asymmetric chin point surgery<br /></strong>Asymmetric chin point surgery is a complex form of genioplasty which requires the skills of a highly trained facial cosmetic surgeon that can perform the delicate surgery, but who can also diagnose the underlying conditions that cause the facial problem in the first place. These conditions can vary from dental problems, which if undiagnosed can result in unnecessary surgery, to growth disorders of the jaw.</p> <p><strong>Pre-Treatment Advice<br /></strong>In your first appointment with a surgeon, you should clearly explain your expectations of the surgery and how you would like to look afterwards.</p> <p>Careful discussions regarding your reasons for wanting genioplasty surgery are very important at this stage. Make sure that you obtain as much information as necessary to enable you to make a fully informed decision about whether to go ahead with the surgery.</p> <p>The surgeon should also ask for your medical history to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t have genioplasty surgery. At this point, you would also normally be asked to sign a consent form indicating that you have understood the future benefits and possible risks associated with the procedure.</p> <p>Photographs of your chin may also be taken by the practitioner for a “before and after” comparison later.<br />The surgeon may wish to write to your G.P. giving details of the operation so that if there are any problems associated with it in the short or long-term, the G.P. is aware of the surgery and can help you if you require any further treatment after the operation.</p>
