Process of genioplasty surgery
- An osteotomy (shape will be adjusted to each patient’s case) is performed below the nerve line. Excess bone will be removed if chin reduction is necessary or realigned if chin advancement is necessary.
- The chin position is redesigned to create a harmonious and balanced new chin.
- The new chin design is secured with titanium pins. If side bone shaving is necessary, then the surgery will be upgraded to mini v-line or v-line surgery
