Chin surgery or chinplasty is the intervention which aims at correcting a bad position of a chin whether very receding or very high, associated with a rhinoplasty; we will lavish a profiloplasty combining both interventions in harmony.
In the case of a high chin :
The chin is collided with a short incision in the mouth, therefore there is no visible cicatrice.To prevent an osseous grafting, a biocompatible implant is posed. This incision is enclosed by threads resorbing in the 10 days which follow the act.Final result in 3 months
In the case of an undershot jaw :
We grind the osseous protuberance with a small incision hidden under the chin and we extract the excess of fat and adipose fibres. A shaping dressing is placed during 5 to 6 days.Final result in about a month and a half.
- Oedema of cheeks, lips and in certain cases of haematoma which disappear in few days.
- Pains are minim and can be prevented by antalgics
- A warm or cold alimentation, not too much spices nor acid.
- A good buccal hygiene is necessary to safely erase the cicatrices.
- Mouth- baths are prescribed as complements to brushing.
- You absolutely have to stop smoking, drinking alcohol and all irritant until the end of the cicatrisation of the sore.
Every surgical intervention has risks which are, sometimes frightful but fortunately exceptional and about which we'll be bound to forewarn you.
- Bleedings : abundant bleedings are extremely rare during this intervention but require in very exceptional cases blood transfusion or blood derivatives
- Inflammation/ Infection: very rarely.In some exceptional cases, the foreign material has to be withdrawn on account of bad tolerance. |
