Chin Reduction

Synonyms

Multidimensional downsizing genioplasty of the large chin

The one-dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional osseous reduction genioplasty or mentoplasty reshaping of the hypertrophic chin allows the decrease of the oversized or prominent profile due to the overdeveloped anterior projection which can be deprojected, vertical height which can be shortened and horizontal width which can be narrowed of the large chin or macrogenia, by means of horizontal, oblique and sagittal or paramedian cuts or osteotomies at the chin with interpositional removal of previously planned slices, chips and wedges of bone fragments to the desired point, with minimal scarring in invisible areas inside the mouth and life lasting results, providing also an indirect neck, jowls, lower cheek and corners of the mouth facelift effect by stretching the overlying soft tissues thanks to the osseous structure modification of the lower face and anterior jaw achieved with the reduction genioplasty.

Unlike other simpler but objectionable dimensionally limited, anatomically restricted in their effects, unpredictable and unreliable reduction genioplasty methods featured by high rates of complications, instability, deformities, asymmetries, fake looks and mid or long term revision procedures like chin burring or shaving, the safe reduction genioplasty technique allows a reliable, stable and lifetime lasting worries-free chin size diminishing with minimal risk of issues and a natural look.

The reduction genioplasty is not at all an aggressive maxillofacial orthognathic surgery of the jaw modifying the patient's bite, requiring preoperative dental braces, postoperative wire immobilization of the jaws and fix the bone fragments with the long term troublesome plates and screws to stand for the mechanical strain of the chewing, swallowing and speaking functions, with life-threatening postoperative ICU management, lots of bruising, painful postoperative and slow recovery; to the contrary the reduction genioplasty is a purely apical or marginal minimally invasive surgical modification of a non functional part of the distal mandible bearing no major mechanical loads, therefore steel wires are sufficient to stabilize the fragments at the reduction desired, steel wires which, unlike plates and screws, do not require future extraction; actually the patients are allowed to and can speak, swallow, drink, eat and chew solids immediately after surgery, with minimal pain and bruising, early hospital discharge and prompt surgical and aesthetic recovery; needless to say the reduction genioplasty is way more affordable than full jaw surgery and considering the lifetime duration and its safety is relatively way cheaper than chin burring or shaving.

The multidimensional reduction genioplasty versatility is unparalleled by other major or minor alternatives in terms of simplicity, safety and costs, and in many cases reducing de the chin is simply unfeasible unless an osseous genioplasty is applied; the chin reduction genioplasty may be performed on all the three space dimensions or, alternatively, only on one or on two space dimensions leaving the other non-reduced dimension/s unaltered or, should it be deemed indicated, apply on them a Sliding Genioplasty or an osseous Chin Augmentation, leading to huge number of versatile combinations to fit every particular chin case anatomy and patient's wishes.

Main disadvantages of chin burring shaving, a technique of medium difficulty thus tempting although not widespread among the surgical community, are the deletion of the labiomental fold, droopy chin deformity, double chin formation, artificial domeless plateau shape of the chin prominence and eventually formation of witch's chin, associated with null facelift effect on the overlying soft tissues; its repair is complex and requires custom carved grafting to restore the missing dome, eventually with some modality of osseous genioplasty.

Opposed to the former the osseous chin reduction genioplasty gathers all the technical, safety and aesthetic advantages for the patients, however it is a technique of high, very high or extremely high difficulty according to each case and goals thus very or extremely discouraging or even frightening to the vast majority of surgeons, being very few those professionals who master and regularly perform osseous genioplasty procedures and, if anyone performs them, they are not complex and multidimensional but the simplest modalities of standard sliding genioplasty.

Advantages of osseous genioplasties are they last for a lifetime and eventually can be repeated to be re-graduated, re-designed or reversed, they don't experience issues, modifications or complications in the mid and long term, they are virtually unlimited dimensionally allowing any deemed suitable combination of standard or non-standard sliding mobilization and augmentation or reduction over any space axis of the chin, they are associated with indirect soft tissue facelift effect, do not produce double chin, witch's chin or droopy chin, don't migrate or dislocate, do not produce any visibility during facial expression gestures, the complications rate is very low and the look of the chin is natural with results which are simply awesome; however, osseous genioplasties do indeed require a very well trained surgeon with excellent aesthetic judgment, a fully equipped safe hospital environment, have longer inflammation period and their price is higher yet within affordable margins.

Dr. Alejandro Nogueira is an outstanding specialist in all the modalities of simple to top difficulty multidimensional osseous genioplasties, gathering vast experience and highly developed skills in such procedures otherwise rarely practiced by any other surgeons.

CHIN REDUCTION FACTS & FIGURES

Invisible inside the mouth at the lower labial sulcus near the gum, of excellent quality and invisible in practical terms.

Complete preoperative check which may include blood tests (count, chemistry, coagulation, etc.), heart check, electrocardiogram, lungs check, spirometry, X-ray, airway examination, referral to suitable consultant specialists, etc.; the battery of tests is customized to every patient's medical background and treatment scheduled, following international standards in anesthesia safety
Thorough preanesthesia assessment including in person consultation with the anesthetist, physical examination, advice, preparation, pre and postoperative instructions, etc.
General anesthesia for an average surgical of approximately 3 to 4 hours; although this treatment is theoretically feasible, however unrealizable in practical terms, under local anesthesia with sedation or twilight anesthesia, the latter pose an unacceptable health and life threatening risk, favours surgical errors or complications and downgrades the outcome of the procedure limiting the best possible results of the treatment, not to mention the painful and distressing experience for the patient; general anesthesia in any kind of procedures, especially in major ones, offers the highest grade of safety, absolute comfort, technical control, surgical feasibility and allows full development of surgeon's creativity aiming to achieve the best aesthetic results; under certain technical requirements regarding patient's peculiarities and the technique planned for the procedure it might be deemed indicated by the Medical Team either the use of local anesthesia plus mild sedation or twilight anesthesia for this treatment.
High safety immediate post-surgical aftercare staying 1 to 2 hours in the post-anesthesia care and recovery unit, where intensive surveillance and, should it be necessary, critical medical assistance is provided by intensive care specialist doctor on duty devoted only to post-operated patients and specialized nurses in a one-to-few staff/patients ratio, following the highest international standards of surgical and anesthetic management.
Day case management, patients leave the hospital the same day of surgery in the afternoon, evening or night according to medical, organizational and logistic factors, in good condition after a brief lapse of hours resting in their individual ward room; if you wished so you may purchase extended hospital stay as additional successive nights by enquiring availability and pricing to the Sales Team via the Customer Support form.
TIMETABLE WARNING: The scheduled time for the treatment, the duration of the surgery itself, the time spent in the recovery unit, the length of ward room stay and the exact moment of hospital discharge allowance are unpredictable, variable and dependent on multiple medical, organizational and logistic factors; we beg you patience and thank you for understanding how challenging is the surgical profession, the unexpected difficulties the physicians may encounter during their actions, the unpredictability of every treatment duration and patient performance and, ultimately, the absolute priority doctors take on providing the most optimal care to the case they are actually handling at every moment, being other duties and formality of a second order of relevance; yourself as patient would really wish and actually require the Medical Team have all their distraction exempt attention on you and only for you during the critical execution moments of the anesthesia, surgery and recovery stages of your own treatment, therefore and on behalf of other patients undergoing surgeries with our Medical Team on the same day than yours we are grateful for your comprehensive sympathy approach to any eventual delays to your treatment timetable expectations.

Attendance in the hospital is required at least the day before surgery as minimum show up to meet the Medical Team, carry out the preoperative formalities and prepare the procedure; further anticipation is always recommended and welcome, furthermore a well in advance in person preliminary visit to the hospital performing on premise consultation with the Medical Team is always the best choice before moving forward with surgery booking.
Patients travelling to our facilities in order to receive treatment by any transport mean on a trip taking less than 4 hours long are required to fulfill a postoperative stay in a suitable accommodation not further than 1 hour distance from the hospital as minimum as the night prior to surgery plus the night of hospital discharge and another 4 additional nights, needless to say the nearest to the hospital the better; more distant travellers must double such additional minima of stay near our facilities during the postoperative period; see our recommended nearby accommodation places here; longer than minima proximity stay near us may be always a wise option to consider.
In spite of the safety and controlled invasiveness of this treatment, it is of paramount importance, not absolutely essential though, travelling in company of an espouse, partner, relative or friend as supportive companion; should you be planning undergoing your procedure alone without companion we'd have you know this is not the wisest option and we would strongly suggest you reconsider bringing some adult escort you can trust for your safety and, in any case, require your stay in the very nearest accommodation available or alternatively you purchase extended hospital stay as additional successive nights by enquiring availability and pricing to the Sales Team via the Customer Support form.
The patient must keep a minimum safe accommodation protection, home seclusion and strict absolute immobility period of 1 week, during which it will refrain from staying or walking outdoors, driving, carrying out physical activities, lifting weights, sports, intercourse, household chores or any non intellectual activity other than those feasible with hands and forearms in a sitting position avoiding lifting the shoulders and never separating the arms and elbows from the chest or spinning the trunk; during this period the patient will be able to eat by own means any kind of food without restrictions; the patient should not remove the support garment applied after surgery or manipulate plasters unless is instructed so by the Medical Team; bed stay should be limited to sleeping hours and always raising the header to lift the head and trunk higher than the rest of the body; daytime is best spent in the living room on an armchair or couch conveniently entertained to keep the mind busy; during the early postoperative stage someone's support will be essential to walk in and out of bed, toilet, kitchen, etc.; physiological needs and personal hygiene may require assistance; not acting so will doubtlessly pose a real risk affecting your safety, the treatment outcome, your health or eventually your life.
You'll need an absolutely essential for this treatment sick leave from your job, do plan this issue in advance; minimum time off work for this treatment is 1 week for office works, 2 weeks in case of active works and 3 weeks for physical works; professions requiring a neat physical look over the operated area may need longer sick leave time; it is of paramount importance respecting the recovery frames and the Medical Team's indications, since the outcome of your surgery and even your health do depend on that.
Social stigmata of the treatment may be impossible to hide an average of 2 weeks, barely concealed with make up another 2 weeks or longer and be considered between somehow evident to discreet or subtle an undetermined period of months up to one year or beyond; this includes massive swelling deforming the chin itself and the surrounding facial structures, remarkably the lower lip, the jowls and the neck, extensive bruising pigmenting the face around the chin, temporary reduction of mobility or palsy of the affected chin and lower lip muscles, reduction, loss or increase sensation disorders and pain on the chin, lip and mouth, contour irregularities, changes in skin coloration, unsightly scars, speaking impairment and others; we strongly recommend patients to plan their social and private life based on realistic scenarios of recovery.
Sport is normally allowed in moderate grade after 3 weeks heavy workout may be commenced 4 weeks after surgery.

Average postsurgical pain is rated of 5 out of a 10 scale and is expected to last for approximately about 7 days, sourced mainly in the form of direct surgical pain, discomfort due to dryness of vermilion, sore mouth mucosa and tensional neck ache a strong cocktail of painkillers will be prescribed for its relief.
Antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent any infection; a stomach protector will be associated too.
All the cutaneous stitches are dissolvable, they do self-drop off and no removal is required.
Postoperative wound care can be carried out at patient's home by means of daily showers and meticulous hygiene; uneventful cases need no plaster or office-based nursing.
Postoperative control and checkups are carried out by our Medical Team following long tested and successful protocols, either on premise or online, based on their expertise, know-how and every patient's individual evolution.
Do bear in mind the unlikely eventuality in which patients might be prompted or even urged to show up at our hospital to be examined in person or receive on premise physical attention from our Medical Team; do research about the available surgical travellers' insurances should you wish to be covered in such a case.
Cosmetic and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery patients suffer a high grade of mental distress and psychological suffering due to the long lasting, visible and exposed stigmata arising from the intervention on such delicate tissues as those manipulated in this treatment; we strongly recommend a thorough self-preparation to go through this procedure in the smoothest manner possible, minimizing avoidable and unnecessary emotional disorders or anxiety; do always seek the help of our Medical Team's advice and support, you'll be given realistic prognosis and the best postoperative assistance.
Worrying concerns may also arise from the long period necessary for your treatment results stabilization, which may be disappointingly uncertain during the first months, intermittently progressing back and forth quite a few months and incomplete up to one year or beyond; this might be a source of frustration or even a reason for regretting; do prepare yourself psychologically for the procedure, this is Cosmetic and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and your sensitive tissues are affected by the procedure carried out, even minimally invasive or superficial ones; we beg you patience and understanding, sticking all time to our Medical Team's instructions in order to achieve the best of the outcomes.
A late surgical touch up or even a revision procedure is a very uncommon scenario but can never be totally ruled out due to the sometimes unpredictable behaviour of tissue healing; the costs of such remedial surgery would be fully charged to patient unless the procedure is covered by the Surgery Shield protection; do read about the available the Surgery Shield here should you wish to be covered in such a case.

DISCLAIMER

This information is indicative only and does not represent an obligation with patients or a prediction of forthcoming events, since is based on statistical means for large groups of patients, with the variability that implies, and the biased experience of medical professionals.
Medicine and Surgery are not exact sciences, therefore it is not possible to foretell the most likely evolution neither establish the most suitable management for each individual case until the moment the physicians can preoperatively evaluate the patient and receive feedback about the postoperative.
One surgical process can't be fully predictable or be rigidly scheduled on a previous protocol, so the management plan may be modified at any time based on the requirements that could be considered as necessary or most suitable.
Healing is an imprecise and always unpredictable process due to the uniqueness nature of each patient; even with your physician prioritising post-op patient care excellence and scar minimisation techniques and treatments your evolution and results may be likely different to the information contained on this website, therefore your physician cannot guarantee any specific scenario and outcome commitment regarding your procedures.
Remember that all surgery is likely to produce lasting swelling and a lifetime permanent scar, which is likely to partially evolve over approximately 12 to 18 months or longer because this is an issue of unpredictable kind; some patients may be prone to permanent swelling and bad scarring.
Information on our website is not a substitute for a personalised, individual consultation that includes a physical examination, history taking, a discussion of the potential risks including potential common complications, pros and cons of various procedural options, and the likely outcome expectations of your surgical procedure.

No other professional but Dr. Alejandro Nogueira himself as leading and executing surgeon has carried out the techniques, procedures and surgeries shown in the galleries.
No images were staged, digitally edited or modified in any way, except for cropping, adjusting and resizing to fit gallery format, removing identifiable elements and blanking with anonymity purposes.
The images of results, treatments, techniques and clinical situations are mere guidance examples aiming to help the patients in their decision-making process, providing an average overview of Dr. Alejandro Nogueira's work; no one of them can be considered as an obligation of any particular results nor a commitment for the application of any specific techniques, therefore you should not base your results expectations on them.
Every patient has to be assessed individually in order to establish a customized prognosis of results and design an individual surgical plan, being somehow unpredictable the real final outcome of any procedure as well the surgical gestures applied during the intervention, since they will depend on multiple particular, frequently unpredictable and sometimes uncontrollable factors.
Even when you feel that you look very similar to another patient in their images, your results will likely vary significantly, because you are a unique person and every individual has not only a completely unique physique, but also uniquely individualistic body healing capacities, scarring tendencies and recovery processes, some of which are unpredictable even in very-healthy patients who rest adequately and do all the other right and prescribed things before and after their procedure.
Previous successful results of a physician do not guarantee future successful procedures and patient's satisfaction.

Every patient's individual satisfaction is somehow unpredictable, since this will depend on multiple particular, frequently unpredictable and sometimes uncontrollable expectation factors of a very much subjective, cultural, psychological and intellectual kind.
Even when you feel very similar to another patient in their experience, your grade of satisfaction will likely vary significantly, because you are a unique person and every individual has not only a completely unique psyche, but also uniquely individualistic assessment capacities, expectation tendencies and acceptance processes, some of which are unpredictable even in very well mentally balanced patients who reflect adequately and do all the other right and recommended assessments before and after their procedure.
