The Art of Balance: Genioplasty & Profiloplasty
Harmonizing the chin for facial balance. The chin plays a central role in the projection of the profile and the overall harmony of the face.
Genioplasty: The Techniques
Genioplasty corrects a chin that is too receding, too prominent, or asymmetric, according to the patient's profile and expectations.
Bone Genioplasty
A. Bone genioplasty
This technique repositions the chin bone, advancing or setting it back through a precise osteotomy. It offers a lasting, natural result, as it uses the patient's own bone.
- ✓ Incision: intra-oral
- ✓ Scar invisible from the outside
- ✓ Lasting, natural result
Genioplasty with silicone implant
B. Custom implant
A custom implant is positioned to improve the projection and shape of the chin. This technique allows precise augmentation without an osteotomy.
- ✓ Smooth contours
- ✓ Stable projection
- ✓ Chin proportioned to the whole face
Fat transfer (fat injection)
C. Autologous fat
Autologous fat is injected into the chin to subtly increase volume or correct irregularities.
- ✓ Natural, discreet result
- ✓ Revitalizing effect on the tissues
- ✓ Gradual effect that may require touch-ups
Recovery & Aftercare
- • Mild swelling and bruising for 1 to 2 weeks.
- • Moderate pain, controlled with appropriate medication.
- • Final result stable within 2 to 3 months.
- • Intra-oral scars are invisible.
Profiloplasty: The Global Vision
Harmonizing the profile to reveal the balance of the face. The profile is defined by the subtle balance between the nose, chin, and jawline.
Each procedure is personalized: revealing natural beauty or refining more sophisticated lines, in perfect harmony with the patient's morphology and expectations.
Rhinoplasty
Reshaping the nose, tip, and nostrils, correcting a bump or an ethnic nose that is flat, wide, or with very splayed nostrils, while respecting natural features and the septum for both aesthetics and breathing.
Genioplasty
Bone repositioning, a custom implant, or fat transfer to correct a receding or asymmetric chin and balance the profile.
The modern approach includes atraumatic, precise techniques such as ultrasonic rhinoplasty and fat transfer, for stable, natural, and elegant results.
Recovery
- • Mild swelling and bruising, generally limited and transient.
- • The incisions are invisible: intra-oral for the chin and behind or inside the nose.
- • Gradual result with a noticeable evolution from 2 months, then complete stabilization over the following months.
