Q: What are the current chin (chin) plastic surgery methods?
A: 1, chin osteotomy; 2, prosthetic chin augmentation; 3, own fat filling; 4, hyaluronic acid filling.
Q: How can I tell if I need chin surgery?
A: There is a very simple way, for Asian people, the tip of the nose, the lower lip lip red, and the front point of the chin (which is the apex of the chin) are in a straight line, if the apex of the chin is behind this connecting line, then chin surgery is needed.
Q: Which method should I use if needed?
A: If the apex of the chin is less than 5 mm behind this line, it can be solved by silicone chin augmentation; otherwise, it is better to use chin osteotomy to solve the problem.
Q: If the apex of the chin is more than 5 mm behind this line, but using the silicone chin augmentation method to solve, will there be any bad results?
A: If the chin is missing more (more than 5 mm), but you use silicone chin augmentation, the following problems may occur: 1) the silicone implant will press a crater into the chin bone, resulting in bone resorption; 2) it will be difficult to fix it, resulting in a skewed implant; 3) there will be an unnatural “chin” without lengthening.
Q: What problems can chin osteotomy solve?
A: Small chin, short chin, crooked chin, chin enlargement, etc.
Q: What effect can chin osteotomy achieve? What are the advantages of silicone chin augmentation?
A: The chin can be sharpened, lengthened, and straightened as needed, instead of the simple “chin augmentation” of silicone chin augmentation. There is no movement, displacement or even skewing of the prosthesis that may occur with silicone chin augmentation. The chin osteotomy also does not show the outline of the prosthesis that may occur with a chin augmentation.
Q: Is chin osteotomy surgery a major surgery? Do I need to be hospitalized?
A: This surgery is not a major surgery for a regular hospital like Jiu Hospital, but because it requires general anesthesia, it requires hospitalization, and the total hospital stay is about 4-5 days.
Q: What are the complications of chin osteotomy surgery?
A: 1, the most common is numbness of the chin, but after a period of time will recover; 2, infection; 3, asymmetry, for experienced doctors can do basically the same, but do not forget that everyone’s face is a little mild asymmetry, so it is important to choose an experienced doctor.
Q: If I want to have surgery, what kind of preparation do I need to do for the surgery?
A: You need to exclude contraindications to anesthesia, and if you are a woman, you need to avoid your menstrual period.
Q: How long does the recovery time for the surgery take?
A: Chin surgery is a very fast recovery procedure. Generally, the swelling is not obvious in 5 to 7 days after surgery, and the recovery is complete in 2-3 weeks.
Q: How long do I have to wait from the beginning of the appointment to the surgery?
A: It usually takes 1-2 weeks from the time of outpatient appointment to the time of inpatient surgery.
