The chin, which is what we usually call the chin, plays a vital role in the overall contour of the face, and a proper chin length and prominence will make the facial contour look coordinated and beautiful. On the contrary, if the chin is overdeveloped, it will cause the appearance of “long face” and “horse face”; while the chin is too short and retracted, it will form a “sharp mouth”, “pointed face” and “bird-shaped face”, The “pointy face”, “bird-shaped face” and other facial shapes, which will affect the overall appearance of a person’s temperament, and even social life. At this point, you may need to turn to a plastic surgeon to solve this trouble through surgery, so that you can regain your confidence. What kind of people are suitable for chin osteotomy and chin advancement surgery? If your chin recession is not very obvious, only a little lack of protrusion, i.e., not enough, then the problem can be solved by using implants only; but if your chin is short and receding at the same time, or the recession is more serious, the side view of the mouth is more protruding, the upper and lower lips are beyond the line between the tip of the nose and the chin, or even in the natural state of shutting up the chin muscle tension, then you may need to go through chin osteotomy If the chin muscle is tense, then you may need to undergo chin osteotomy to solve the problem at the root. Advantages of chin osteotomy surgery Chin osteotomy surgery can fundamentally solve the problem of short and receding chin, and also avoid rejection, bone resorption, and prosthetic infection because no prosthesis needs to be placed; in addition, more serious chin recession can lead to narrowing of the airway, and some patients may snore, wake up, and have sleep apnea due to muscle relaxation and backward fall of the tongue during sleep. In addition, more severe chin recession will lead to narrowing of the airway, and some patients may experience snoring, awakening, sleep apnea, etc., which affect the quality of sleep and life. In general, after 2-3 weeks of surgery, the swelling can be basically reduced, and there may be numbness of the lips and chin in the short term, which will gradually recover and return to normal in about 3-6 months. The amount of anterior displacement is usually 7-8mm, and the amount of posterior displacement can reach about 10mm in patients with more serious retraction, so there may be bony steps after surgery, which can be smoothed out slowly after the later bone reconstruction. In general, the swelling time and postoperative pain are similar to those of prosthetic filler surgery. The post-operative photos were taken about 10 days after the surgery, so we can see that a good recovery effect has been achieved at this time. It should be said that chin osteotomy is the most basic and effective operation in craniomaxillofacial surgery. We hope that all the candidates can improve their appearance and reinvent themselves through such a simple osteotomy surgery!
