Chin cosmetic surgery or genioplasty in Iran is called chin reduction or enlargement surgery. In this facial beauty procedure, the shape and size of the chin can be changed with the help of a prosthesis or by cutting and changing the location of the jaw bone. Chin cosmetic surgery consists of a series of bone surgery, prosthesis placement, injection, and chin bone shaping, the purpose of which is to give the chin the right size and shape. Chin cosmetic surgery is one of the beauty procedures that are always highly welcomed.

The chin is a part of the face that, if it does not have balance and proportion with other parts of the face, completely affects the beauty of the face, makes the nose and lips look bigger or smaller, and makes the facial expression out of the normal state. Even very small changes in the size of the chin are very effective in the beauty of the face. Chin plastic surgery is also called genioplasty in Iran. Also, these two operations are performed with two techniques applying a prosthesis or cutting the jawbone and moving it.

Everything about chin surgery or genioplasty

In genioplasty in Iran, one of the chin surgery techniques can be performed to make the chin bigger or smaller, depending on whether the person’s chin is ahead or behind the standard and what the shape of the chin is from the front and back. After examining the person, using the criteria of aesthetic science and the necessary measurements, along with conducting the necessary tests and investigations, the plastic and cosmetic surgeon can determine which method is suitable for the person’s chin cosmetic surgery.

In small and receding chins, which usually do not have proper growth, the problem will usually be solved with the help of a chin prosthesis or by cutting the chin bone and pulling it forward. Chin augmentation surgery is also suitable for those who are old and the skin or jaw bone has weakened.
With the feeling of dissatisfaction and pain in the chin and jaw, the person’s chin, jaw, and teeth obstruction should be examined and evaluated. There are people whose jaw is too small or too big and the teeth obstruction needs a combination of orthodontic adjustment and jaw surgery. This method used for treatment is called orthognathic, in which maxillofacial consultation and orthodontic consultation must be done at the same time. Jaw surgery is also one of the methods of correcting jaw deformities, which is performed according to the doctor’s diagnosis.

People applying for chin and jaw cosmetic surgery must be examined by performing an X-ray test (radiology imaging). In this image, the amount of bone that must be moved in the surgery is determined, and jaw and teeth injuries that may affect the surgery are checked. There are different methods for jaw and chin cosmetic surgery. To determine which is the best type of treatment for a person, a complete clinical and radiographic evaluation should be done on the patient.

Benefits of genioplasty in Iran?

The biggest advantage that genioplasty in Iran provides for a person is significant changes in the face through a relatively light surgery. Genioplasty can be performed together with rhinoplasty. Proportionality of the chin can beautify the lips, nose, and overall beauty of face. In Iran, the most common reason for performing genioplasty is the back of the chin.
After studying what genioplasty in Iran is and what types it has, it is clear that several factors affect the cost of genioplasty, including the amount of deformity, treatment method, doctor, etc. It is better to contact your doctor’s office to estimate the cost of genioplasty.

Determining whether or not a chin is out of its normal position and how much it needs to be made smaller or bigger depends on an examination by a plastic and cosmetic surgeon. There are criteria for a natural and ideal chin that measure the naturalness or unnaturalness of the chin according to which these criteria are based on the science of aesthetics, which specify how the size, relationship, and proportion between the different parts of the face should be to the person looks beautiful.
For example, the height of the chin compared to the neck should be about 5 cm. Usually, the tip of the chin should be two millimeters behind the lower lip. In this situation, the lower lip feels falsely prominent and protruding. And when this prominence is too much, this situation is reversed. Genioplasty in Iran is usually performed together with jaw surgery, but if the position of the lower jaw and the relationship between the teeth of the two jaws It was ideal to be able to perform chin surgery alone.

Cost of genioplasty in Iran

The cost of genioplasty in Iran depends on various factors, one of the most important of which is the surgical method. Chin surgery can usually be done with two general techniques. The first is the implant or chin prosthesis, which is recommended when the growth of the chin is low, and it is usually used to enlarge or move the chin forward. In this method, a prosthesis is mounted on the jaw bone and gives shape to the chin. In other words, if the growth of the chin is not enough and there is a need to enlarge the chin, a prosthesis is used.

Another method of chin cosmetic surgery is chin bone osteotomy or sliding genioplasty in Iran, which uses osteotomy to increase growth or decrease growth in all dimensions, as well as symmetrize and change the shape of the chin. In this, the chin bone is cut and moved back or forward. is drawn. Usually, this method is more liked by patients because the natural bone of the person’s jaw is used. Research shows that the percentage of patients satisfied with the results of osteotomy is higher than that of chin prostheses.

How is chin surgery performed in Iran?

Genioplasty in Iran is performed in a hospital or an office that has an operating room. Most people are sedated for this surgery. To start the surgery, the surgeon lowers the lower lip and creates an incision in the space between the teeth and the lower lip. Then the soft tissue is separated from the jaw bone. At this stage, the doctor makes a vertical cut in the chin bone using his saw tool; This vertical cut helps the doctor to cut it straight and not tilt the chin when reducing or enlarging the chin.
Then the doctor makes a horizontal incision in the chin bone. If you are planning to move your chin back or make it smaller, the doctor will remove part of the chin bone and attach a metal plate to the jaw bone with screws to make sure the chin bone stays in place. To make the chin longer, a part of the chin bone is removed and placed at a little distance from the main part of the bone. In fact, in this case, there is some distance between the main chin bone and the bone connected to it, but over time, the bone grows and fills this space.

Types of genioplasty surgery

Osseous or sliding genioplasty

Sliding genioplasty in Iran is used to correct complex deformities of the chin, which are caused by genetics, injury, or disease. This genioplasty procedure is performed to solve problems related to chin abnormalities such as airway obstruction. Because this genioplasty surgery is a sliding type, no bone grafting is needed.

Chin implants

This option is used to correct minor chin deformities and creates a balanced and symmetrical appearance in patients with receding chin.
In addition to the fact that chin augmentation can be performed on those who have had small chins naturally since childhood, it is also considered a method to correct the effects of aging on the face. As the age increases, the skin loses its elasticity; Fat tissues under the skin are also gradually destroyed; The skin of the face and chin sags, and as a result, the chin is seen a little further back than usual. Also, the chin may recede and shrink due to the loss of the jawbone due to injury, disease, or the use of artificial teeth or dentures.

In addition to the appearance problems, in severe cases, the shortness of the chin also causes difficulties in closing the mouth completely. In all these cases, chin cosmetic surgery will be a solution. Enlargement of the chin can be done in two ways, just like reducing it.

Sliding genioplasty in Iran: If the patient’s chin is too small or backward, the shape and size of the chin cannot be corrected with the help of a prosthesis alone. In such cases, sliding genioplasty in Iran is used. With the help of this method, first, the jaw bone is cut and then the chin section is pulled forward. Meanwhile, part of the chin bone may be removed. Then, the plastic surgeon fixes the remaining part of the front of the jaw in place using special titanium plates and screws. Then the incision is sutured. Absorbable suture thread can be used in intra-oral incisions so that it no longer needs to be pulled.

Dermal fillers

In some cases, using filler injections in the skin layers, the shape of the chin is corrected. This method takes less than an hour and often uses a product called Teosyal that is injected into the skin layer. With hyaluronic acid, Teosyal strengthens the natural hydration system, lifting, smoothing, and increasing the elasticity of the skin. This product is produced by Galderma, which is one of the leading manufacturers of beauty products and is one of the safest and most effective beauty products. The filler is either injected or guided under the skin through a cannula. The method of using the cannula increases the accuracy and causes a better result.
Filler injection begins with a consultation to improve the overall appearance, a dermatologist or cosmetic surgery subspecialist evaluates the patient’s face, and the chin is selected as a specific area for injection. One of the most important advantages of choosing hyaluronic acid gel is its lower cost than surgical options, without the need for time off work or a long treatment period. During the consultation, information is given to the clients about the possible side effects of this method and the brand of filler, and the advantages of each, as well as the before and after photos of other patients undergoing similar treatment. At the end of the consultation, the patient felt confident and looked forward to the start of the treatment, and excitedly anticipates the results.

Fat transfer

Fat transfer to the chin and jaw is a non-invasive and non-surgical method that is used to eliminate double chins or angulation and facial modeling. In this process, no cuts are made in the desired areas and the injection usually ends quickly without bleeding or pain. The reliable recorded statistics show that many of those who have problems with the appearance and beauty of the chin by using fat transfer to the chin area can easily solve these problems without leaving the slightest trace. Of course, factors such as a specialist doctor and the equipment used in the process of fat injection to the chin area will also be effective in the safety of fat injection to the chin area.

So, if these factors involved in the transfer of fat to the chin area do not perform their duties well, there is no guarantee for the safety of this technique, and it may cause unpleasant problems in addition to not leaving positive results and effects.
Depending on the skill of the doctor and the level of care of the injected areas by the person who did this, the shelf life of fat injection to the chin and jaw varies from 2 to 6 months. A very important point is also worth mentioning. For the grease to last longer, these greases must be recharged at regular intervals to make them last longer.

It is better to have a companion accompany you from the hospital to home and stay with you for a day.
