Considering genioplasty in Dubai? If you're wondering whether chin contouring delivers lasting results, you're not alone. At The Dome MedDental Clinic in JLT, we offer expert-led genioplasty procedures designed to reshape and enhance your facial profile for both aesthetic and functional harmony.
What Is Genioplasty?
Genioplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the chin by adjusting its position, size, or projection. It’s an effective solution for individuals with a recessed or overly prominent chin, post-traumatic defects, or those looking to improve their overall facial balance.
Types of Genioplasty
1. Sliding Genioplasty
This technique involves cutting and repositioning the jawbone to correct a recessed or misaligned chin. It’s ideal for patients who want to improve facial structure without the use of implants.
2. Chin Implants
For patients with underdeveloped chins, chin implants are used to add definition and volume. This method provides a stronger jawline and improved facial proportions.
What’s Involved in the Procedure?
Genioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and is typically a day-case surgery. The procedure involves the following steps:
- - Incisions are made inside the mouth or under the jaw to avoid visible scarring.
- - Depending on the method, either the bone is repositioned or an implant is placed.
- - Dissolvable stitches are used for closure.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Genioplasty?
If your chin appears out of proportion with the rest of your facial features or if misalignment is affecting your confidence or functionality, you may benefit from genioplasty. A consultation with a specialist will determine your suitability.
Is Genioplasty Permanent?
Yes, genioplasty is considered a permanent solution. In the case of sliding genioplasty, the repositioned bone heals naturally, resulting in lifelong structural improvement. Implants also provide long-lasting results when properly cared for.
Is the Procedure Painful?
The surgery itself is pain-free due to general anesthesia. Any post-operative discomfort is typically mild and easily managed with medication.
Will There Be Visible Scars?
No. Our experienced surgeons perform the procedure using internal incisions or carefully hidden external ones, ensuring a scar-free appearance.
What Is Recovery and Aftercare Like?
While genioplasty is minimally invasive, proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing. Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort during the first few days.
- Use cold packs to reduce swelling.
- Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights.
- Wear a supportive chin strap for one week.
- Follow a soft food diet and maintain oral hygiene using mouthwash and gentle brushing.
- Avoid driving or strenuous activity for at least 48 hours.
- Plan to take a week off work to fully rest and recover.
