The Use Of The Sliding Genioplasty In The Facial Rejuvenation Patient

The sliding genioplasty is a well known chin augmentation that is most commonly performed in younger male and female patients. Besides the greater invasiveness of the procedure what really separates it from a chin implant is its effects on the submental or anterior neck region. By pulling the chin bone forward the attached soft tissues Read More…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Sliding Genioplasty with Soft Tissue Resuspensions To Treat Chin Pad Ptosis from Infected Chin Implant Removal

Background:  In placing a chin implant there are two approaches, intraoral and submental incisional access. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. What is most obvious to the patient is that the intraoral approach avoids an external scar with a somewhat higher risk of infection. The submental approach has a lower risk of infection but at Read More…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Submental Inferior Border Shave and Custom Chin Implant for Sliding Genioplasty Asymmetry

Background: The well known sliding genioplasty procedure can provide multi-dimensional changes to the projection of the chin. With a downfractured and mobile inferior chin segment, it can freely be positioned ‘out into space’ to accomplish the desired chin augmentation effect provided that rigid fixation is used to hold it there.  But with that downfractured chin Read More…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Male 3 Stage Chin Augmentation Journey

Background: Chin augmentation for many patients can largely be a one dimensional operation. For those who do not need any vertical change (lengthening or shortening) and width is not a significant concern, then the amount of horizontal augmentation desired in profile becomes the goal and measure of success of the surgery. Regardless of how the Read More…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Sliding Genioplasty Replacement for A Symptomatic Chin Implant with Pre-Existing Mentalis Strain

Background: Chin implants in females are commonly performed but must take into consideration how their aesthetic objectives differ from men. Chin augmentation is often made too dimensionally simplistic by just looking at the patient’s profile and making all decisions based on how much projection is being created. The change that occurs in the frontal view Read More…
