Plastic surgeons generally apply this cosmetic surgery technique to treat a condition known as microgenia which basically refers to a poorly developed chin. Now this condition could be affected by anything ranging from genital deformities in the mandibular regions to improper development of the chin tissues or even injuries sustained to the lower jaw due to an accident.
Since a genioplasty is classified as a chin surgery, the treatment, recovery period and precautions remain the same. However, some people may need extensive work in the facial region and as a result the chin enhancement surgery may stretch for a longer period of time and may warrant an overnight stay.
Cosmetic surgeons performing a cosmetic genioplasty typically enhance the chin using two methods. One involves the use of chin implants (silicone, inherent fat or FDA approved materials).
The other genioplasty method includes the displacement of the lower jaw and sawing off a section of the chin. Titanium is the metal of choice for this chin surgery method and it holds the jaw in place in the form of screws and metal plates.
