The chin is actually a bony prominence that differs from one person to another. Thus, in some people, it is possible to notice an absence of chin while, in others, there is a turned-up chin.

A turned-up chin, also called a protruding chin, is a chin thrown forward. It has prominence of soft or bony parts. This prominence of the chin can sometimes give rise to a certain number of complexes.

Unfortunately, no medical treatment is possible to correct a turned-up chin. However, cosmetic surgery (genioplasty) today offers practical solutions to correct a protruding chin and giving satisfactory results.

Causes of a turned-up chin

The genetic factor occurs in about 2% of the cases of pebble chin. In many cases, this is a family characteristic, and many members of the same family have prominent chins.

However, a prominent chin is caused, in the majority of cases, by a functional problem. Indeed, this malformation can be associated with insufficient development of the upper jaw. Thus, the maxillary narrower than the mandible, blocks the growth of the chin. To compensate, the lower jaw then tends to advance.

Thus, over the years, the chin tends to advance more and more, which accentuates the malformation, hence the need to undergo cosmetic surgery to overcome this problem that can become a real health problem by preventing, in some cases, breathing.

How to fix a turned-up chin?

To restore the balance of the face and reduce a turned-up chin, some patients no longer hesitate to use cosmetic surgery. Indeed, genioplasty is the most appropriate treatment to treat a prominent chin. The technique used depends on the surgeon, but also on the extent of the problem.

Genioplasty to correct a prominent chin

Genioplasty in Tunisia is a cosmetic surgery that aims to improve the appearance of the chin by reducing its prominence. With chin reduction surgery, you can improve the appearance of your face and make your nose and chin better aligned.

The surgery acts on the chin bone, cutting a bit of the jaw, to slide it backwards. The procedure is done by reshaping the bone or cutting it.

Thus, the bone can be moved to its new position. The chin is then secured in place with metal plates and screws. The genioplasty is permanent because the bone appropriates its new shape. The bone can also be moved up, to shorten the face length, or down to expand the face length.

Is genioplasty painful?

Genioplasty surgery is not as painful as one would expect. Nevertheless, the patient may experience some discomfort during the week following the surgery. The chin will be inflated for two weeks. Inflammation is common after genioplasty surgery, as well as bruising, but these side effects are usually relieved within two weeks.
