Genioplasty (Chin <strong>Surgery</strong>)<br />
Genioplasty is a chin surgery. The chin is a prominence of the lower jawbone (mandible)<br />
and overlying tissues. Two notable muscles on the chin are the genioglossus and the<br />
mentalis. The genioglossus is behind the chin under the tongue. It is the muscle that pulls<br />
the tongue forward when you breathe, swallow and stick out your tongue. The mentalis is<br />
on the front of the chin. It pushes the lip up and when it is used it gets a puckered<br />
appearance.<br />
When a person has a chin that sticks out too much or too little, it often indicates a<br />
problem with the entire jawbone and the teeth may not line up correctly (overbite or<br />
underbite). If this is the case, Orthognathic surgery (What We Do; Reconstructive<br />
<strong>Surgery</strong>; Orthognathic <strong>Surgery</strong>) should be considered.<br />
If the chin is the lone cause of the discrepancy or if the tooth discrepancy can be<br />
corrected with orthodontics and the patient does not wish to undergo orthognathic<br />
surgery then a Genioplasty may be considered.<br />
Genioplasty can be accomplished by cutting (osteotomizing) the chin and moving it forward<br />
or backwards by a sliding technique. It can also be moved up or down or combinations as in<br />
forward and down. It is then screwed or plated in place with titanium hardware.<br />
Sometimes a gap is created between the bones and a bone graft (What We Do; Bone<br />
Grafting) is needed between the bony segments. The surgery is done via an incision inside<br />
the mouth.<br />
These implants are usually placed through a small incision below the chin (but can also be<br />
placed through a larger incision on the inside of the mouth) and fixed in place with<br />
titanium screws (usually 2).
