Genioplasty in Westlake, TX

If you're dealing with a protruding or recessed chin that is impacting your self-image and confidence, our team is here to assist you with chin surgery. This procedure can either reduce or enhance the size of your chin, enhancing your facial harmony and symmetry.

Drawing upon her expertise, Dr. Stone ensures a comprehensive approach to chin surgery, considering the entire facial structure. This meticulous attention allows for optimal aesthetic improvements, strengthening and defining a natural jawline.

Also known as chin repositioning or genioplasty, chin sculpting can give patients better facial definition.

This procedure involves using either an implant or osteotomy (bone cutting or shaping) to reduce, augment, or otherwise alter the shape and size of the chin. Your chin sculpting/reshaping procedure will be performed in Dr. Mona Stone’s surgery center located in Westlake, Texas. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your jawline, shorten your chin, or improve the overall contours of your face, genioplasty will give you more balanced facial features. So chin up!

Genioplasty can be used to address a range of cosmetic complaints related to the chin, from strengthening a “weak” or recessed chin, reducing an overly prominent chin, reducing the appearance of a double chin, or correcting any asymmetry.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about one hour. Genioplasty may also be combined with other procedures such as a neck lift, facelift, or rhinoplasty, allowing you to address multiple areas at once. Patients tend to be highly satisfied with the results of the chin sculpting procedure, which reshapes the chin area to give the entire face a more proportionate, contoured, and refined appearance.

This procedure benefits patients whose chin size is disproportionate to their other facial features. It can reduce the appearance of a double chin and strengthen the profile to significantly enhance your appearance. It is often paired with other facial contouring procedures such as neck lifts, face lifts, and rhinoplasty.

Your cosmetic goals and unique facial structure will determine the course of treatment, which may utilize implants or involve repositioning of the jawbone to draw your chin into more harmonious proportion with your other facial features. Individuals who are in general good health, do not smoke, and do not have any conditions that would impair healing are candidates for this procedure.

Depending on your needs and unique facial structure, your procedure may involve the placement of implants and/or repositioning of the jawbone itself. During the procedure, you will be sedated under general anesthesia. A small incision will be made on the inside of your lip in front of the gum.

During sliding genioplasty, we cut the chin bone, a procedure called an osteotomy. The chin is then repositioned to optimize chin strength and overall appearance. During augmentation genioplasty, a synthetic implant is positioned in front of the chin bone. Small titanium plates and screws are typically used in both procedures to secure implant and bone materials. You will receive dissolvable sutures to close the intraoral incision. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections may be administered at the time of the procedure to optimize the healing process. The procedure takes approximately 1 hour.

Because general anesthesia is used for this procedure, you will need someone to drive you home and help you get comfortable. After the procedure, a bandage will be placed on your chin to ease inflammation. The bandage will be removed in our office 1-2 days later. A soft diet will need to be eaten for a few days post-surgery. Postoperative swelling and bruising is common, but discomfort is mild and can be controlled with the use of medication. Your stitches will dissolve in 7-10 days. Recovery time is about 2 weeks.

Genioplasty provides sculpting and contouring that can improve your entire appearance. A well-proportioned and symmetrical chin lends strength and elegance to your profile and highlights the natural beauty of your features.

Individuals wishing to address multiple aesthetic concerns at once may incorporate Genioplasty alongside other procedures such as a neck lift, facelift, or rhinoplasty. Highly respected oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Stone brings a depth of experience to each procedure as well as a strong commitment to helping you put your best face forward and embrace your most confident self.
