IMPROVE THE SHAPE OF YOUR CHIN (What You Need To Know On Genioplasty In Singapore)
Genioplasty
A genioplasty, also known as chin augmentation in Singapore, is a common plastic surgery done to enhance the facial harmony of the jaw and mouth.
While this procedure is generally done by plastic surgeons, it is also commonly done by dentists in Singapore because of its dental advantages.
What is Genioplasty?
What is Genioplasty?
There are two main types of genioplasty: sliding genioplasty and chin implants.
- Sliding Genioplasty
A sliding genioplasty, also known as osseous genioplasty, involves the removal of your chin bone from the rest of the jaw and relocating it. This is done to correct a chin defect.
This is recommended for those with severe retrogenia, a condition where the chin is further back than it should be, or correcting chins which are pushed too far forward and are too long.
- Chin Implants
A chin implant surgery uses implants to mould, increase, or push forward the appearance of the chin. This can be done through surgical or non-surgical methods.
Surgical chin augmentation involves placing a silicone implant into the chin and adhering it to the bone. Usually, alloplastic implants (those made from synthetic materials) are used for this surgery.
Another method is called non-surgical chin augmentation. This involves injecting soft tissue fillers to enhance the appearance of the chin, whether it is to fill a dent or level it out.
