Chin osteotomy is a surgical activity done to for correcting deformed chin structure. If a patient has a chin with vertical shortness (that is, too short chin), chin osteotomy is commonly performed on the patient. It involves cutting and moving the chin bones to build a better chin structure for the patient. Chin osteotomy helps in reducing (mentoplasty) or adding (genioplasty) material to the chin of a patient. What are the types of chin osteotomy? There are two stages in restructuring the chin. First, the repositioning of the chin through the chin. Then adjusting the length of the bone, adding to the bone length. There are different types of chin osteotomy. Some of these types are: Mandibular This osteotomy procedure involves altering the relationship between the lower and upper teeth. It is a type of chin osteotomy where the aesthetic qualities are not the primary concern. It requires that the mandibular bone is cut and leads to a prolonged recovery after operation. In addition, it requires the usage of numerous devices such as maxillo-mandibular fixation and other materials.

Pre-Surgical Phase.

Hi guys! This is my first blog about getting braces and my jaw-surgery. A bit about me: I have an overbite, an over jet, my jaw is set in a V shape, instead of a U. (That just means only my front teeth show when I smile and my mouth looks small.) My main reason for undergoing braces/surgery is because of my side profile, my over-jet and my lack of chin and jaw. It also effects my sleeping, I breathe through my mouth instead of nose and because I don't close my mouth when I'm sleeping it ruins my gums. 

So I've met with my orthodontist. (I haven't gotten braces yet. Just been planning everything.) I'm waiting for my first appointment with my surgeon which is pretty nerve-racking, but also exciting too! This should be happening within the next fortnight, such a slow process, but I know it will all be worth it. 

I have a folder from my orthodontist explaining my treatment plan. 

Pre-surgical phase:  - Meet with surgeon - Go back to orthodontist - Scale and Clean - Extractions 18, 28, 38, 34, 44 (evaluating 14, 24.) - Go back to surgeon for evaluation  - Bond second molars Sequence of Arch Wires

- Niti 0,014 - Niti 0,018 - Niti 0,016 * 0, 022  - SS 0,016 with second order bents - SS 0,016 * 0, 022 with second order bents, lingual coronal torque in lower anteriors - SS 0,017 * 0,025 with second order bents.

Treatment Plan:  - Surgical hooks positioning  - Mandibular Advancement surgery and Mentoplasty - Post surgical phase: 6 months - First and second order bents.  Most of you guys will have no idea what most of that means.. And honestly, neither do I. That's just what my booklet says. I will update when I go for my appointment with my surgeon.

What Is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a type of surgical procedure to change the shape or enhance the size of the chin. The augmentation procedure can be done by inserting an implant or moving and reshaping of the bone. By using surgical implants, it  alters the underlying structure of the face thus providing symmetry to the facial feature.

Chin reduction is known as mentoplasty and chin enhancement or adding material to a patient’s chin is called genioplasty. The augmentation process can also balance the jawline. It can also be done as a stand alone procedure or in combination with other cosmetic or reconstructive surgery for the face.

The most common cosmetic procedure done with chin augmentation is rhinoplasty because it helps balance the proportion of the face. The augmentation process can be achieved by manipulating the jawbone or mandible. The technique provides a more prominent  correction compared to using implants. 

Chin augmentation is one of the popular cosmetic procedures because it is an almost hassle free operation for the patient and produces noticeable changes in the face’s silhouette. A plastic surgeon, otolaryngologist  or maxillofacial surgeon is the professionals that perform the surgery. Most surgeons suggest to have chin augmentation by the age of 18 or 19 years. The majority of surgeons state that the thickening  and development of the jawline and the mandibles has not yet completed  below the age of 18 years. But in some cases, there are exceptions. It is always best to consult a plastic surgeon who can evaluate a  candidate’s condition and plan the best procedure.

The surgery can be done in a hospital, clinic or a clinically certified office. The cost may range from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on the condition of the patient. The patient can be operated either on local or general anesthesia and it can take about 30 minutes up to 2 hours for the surgery to finish. Down time is from a day to 2 days and recovery time is from a week up to two weeks.  

There will be  temporary discomfort with swelling, numbness, stiffness and bruising in the operated region. Antibiotics and pain killers will be prescribed by the physician. The patient will experience difficulty in eating, talking and smiling for a week because of the swelling. The swelling will go down after two weeks. A patient can go back to work or doing their daily routine after 2 to 5 days after the surgery. Any strenuous activities should be avoided for the meantime. The expected results are visible right after surgery and it  will be more noticeable once the wounds are healed and the swelling subsides.

Chin augmentation offers different types of techniques. Sliding genioplasty involves in moving the Horshoe –shaped piece of the bottom of the chin bone by sliding it forwards or backwards. Another technique is by using a chin implant made of Gore S.A.M. Another method is known ad AlloDerm. The material comes from tissue donors.  A thin layer of skin and uses it as a graft and cover for the chin implants. Another option is thru a non surgical option using dermafillers.
