Génioplastie en Suisse - Chin reshaping for a balanced profile
The chin plays a fundamental role infacial harmony, particularly in profile. Genioplasty (or chin surgery) can correct a chin that is too protruding, receding or asymmetrical, by moving it forward, backward or adjusting its height.
This procedure aims to rebalance facial proportions for a more natural look and a redesigned mandibular line, for both men and women.
For whom is genioplasty indicated?
Genioplasty is suitable for anyone with :
- A chin that’s too far forward (prominent),
- A receding chin or one that’s too far back,
- Asymmetry or imbalance of the lower face,
- The desire to improve the front or side profile.
The aim is to realign the volumes of the chin with the nose, lips and rest of the face, for a more coherent aesthetic.
A personalized facial assessment
During the consultation, Dr. Medhi-Sébastien BECK :
- Analyzes the bone structures and soft tissues of the lower face,
- Uses computer morphing tools to simulate potential results based on your profile photo,
- Draw up a surgical plan adapted to your morphology and expectations.
You will be provided with an explanatory sheet, a clear estimate and pre-operative instructions.
Procedure
Genioplasty is performed under general anesthesia, either as an outpatient or with a short hospital stay, depending on the case.
Two main approaches are possible:
- Chin reduction: removal of part of the bone to reduce projection.
- Chin advancement: repositioning or addition (graft, implant) to project the chin forward.
The incision is generally located inside the mouth, avoiding any visible scarring.
Post-operative recovery
A follow-up appointment is scheduled 1 to 2 days after the procedure.
In the days that follow :
- Moderate oedema (swelling) may appear, especially in the chin and lower face,
- This swelling gradually subsides in one to two weeks,
- Results begin to show after 15 days, and stabilize within a few months.
Post-operative care is provided by Dr. Medhi-Sébastien BECK team to help you make a smooth and effective recovery.
