Genioplasty or chin surgery information and locations in Mexico
A genioplasty is a surgery done to patients with a weak chin, but have an otherwise normal bite.
It can be done with either a sliding technique or implants. Depending on the patient, this could
be a same day procedure.
A genioplasty can be done with sliding technique or implants. Both techniques require general
anesthesia. On a sliding genioplasty, the surgeon cuts the chin bone and moves it to correct the
deficiency. This is usually done on patients with more noticeable chin problems. The other
procedure is a chin implant made of synthetic material compatible with your body that is
attached over the bone. Both techniques are done from within the mouth as to not leave external
scars.
