How to get the perfect V-shaped chin?

A lot of people wish their chin was a bit sharper and the chin can actually be made sharper with genioplasty.

Genioplasty (also known as Mini V-linesurgery) is a type of surgery done on the chin. It is considered an aesthetic surgery performed by a maxillofacial surgeon under general anesthesia.

Genioplasty surgery method is used to narrow, shorten, elongate, push forward or bring the chin area backwards. T-osteotomy is the basic method used for resecting the bones, but the surgery can get customized depending on the individual’s bone structure.

Nerve Lines and muscles

The inferior alveolar nerve supplies sensation to the chin and lower lip and teeth. Great caution must be taken not to cause any damage to the nerves as it can lead to permanent nerve damage.

The mentalis muscle is attached to the chin. It is detached during surgery for the osteotomy and must be re-attached with caution.

What is T-osteotomy method?

T-osteotomy method was developed by ID Hospital, and published in various plastic surgery journals.

The method involves resecting the bone horizontally and leaving a small part of the bone intact. The bones are then shaped and fixated with titanium screws and this surgery changes the shape of the chin.

The surgeon checks your chin length, width and nerve lines location. Then the length of the philtrum and chin are compared to check if your chin is long or short. Since the incision area is inside the mouth, the stitches will not be visible to others, and the scars heal fast.

The type of chin you have determines the osteotomy method most suited for your chin.

Wide and round chin: T-osteotomy is performed and a small section of the bone is removed. The remainder of the bones are attached together and fixated with pins and screws.

Long chin: Along with the basic T-osteotomy method and additional horizontal piece of bone is resected to remove the excess bone.

Protruded chin: Along with the basic T-osteotomy method, the protruded bone is resected and the tip of the chin is brought backwards to balance the chin shape.

Short chin/Receded Chin: For the short chin, the bone is resected, the fixated with pins to elongate the chin. With the receding chin, an extra step is performed to advance the chin forward to its normal position.

Asymmetric chin: With the asymmetric chin, the amount of bone resected from each side will differ. The surgeon has to make measurements to assure as much symmetry as possible.

As with all surgeries, having a Board-certified plastic surgeon perform your surgery will get you the best results the first time around.

Curious about the difference between double jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery?

That is one of the most frequently asked questions, so here is detailed explanation!

Orthognathic surgery

Orthognathic surgery 

Orthognathic surgery, also known as double jaw surgery surgically corrects the upper and lower jaws and adjusts them in the correct position. The procedure is suitable for conditions including mandibular prognathism, mouth protrusion, facial asymmetry, and other abnormal positioning of the jaw.

Traditionally, braces were required to be worn 1 to 1.5 years prior to surgery. The double Jaw surgery method originating from ID Hospital, Surgery-First Approach Orthognathic surgery is an innovative procedure that has shortened the whole surgery time by eliminating the braces prior to surgery. After the surgery, a wafer is worn for one month followed by braces. Usually, depending on the cases, braces are required after the surgery to re-align the bite.

Orthognathic surgery Before and After 

There are many types of orthognathic surgery, so the right type of surgery is determined during consultation, after X-ray and 3D CT scans, to make a customized surgical plan.

Facial contouring surgery (V-line surgery)

Facial Contouring surgery (V-line surgery)

                   

V-line surgery, also known as jaw reduction surgery, actually includes two types of surgeries. Jaw reduction is done to reduce the size of the jaw bone (mandible angle) and a chin genioplasty surgery is done to reduce or extend the chin bone. 

Just like the orthognathic surgery, there are different types of methods for the V-line surgery, and osteotomy methods differ. Dia-osteotomy, T-osteotomy, etc. are recommended by the surgeon upon reviewing a patient’s X-rays. The golden ratio is used to determine the ideal proportion for a patient’s face.

Important things to keep in mind before going for any types of facial bone surgeries:

1. Experience level of the surgeon is important, so selection of the surgeon is vital and can make all the difference in the type of results you get.

2. The safety level of the facilities you select to have your surgery at.

3. The types of pre-surgery examination and post-surgery care.

4. Managing the surgery results, by following all the instructions given, and exercising the jaw to help it heal faster

New lease on life: orthognathic and facial contouring surgery review

Nationality: Korean 
Desired Surgery : Eyes, nose
Surgery performed: Orthognathic surgery, V-line facial contouring surgery

Before Surgery

I was born with severe facial asymmetry and had an under bite, so I grew up feeling very self-conscious about my looks. I was very glad when I found ID Hospital, and resolved to finally change my looks for the better. I had functional and aesthetic concerns, which were well addressed by my surgeon and I was recommended both the orthognathic surgery also known as the double jaw surgery, and facial contouring surgery known as V-line surgery. 

3 weeks post-surgery

Just after the surgery, I had a lot of bruising and swelling, so I had to do a lot of things to help reduce the swelling faster. I had pumpkin juice and walked a lot. I could only have liquids for some days after surgery, so I had a lot of warm soups and smoothies. I thought the swelling would stay for long, at least 3 months, but I am very happy with my 3 weeks post-surgery progress.

5 months post-surgery

From 3 months after surgery onward, my looks changed completely. From then on, daily, my face gets smaller and smaller as the minor swelling reduces. I did not imagine that the Orthognathic surgery and the facial contouring surgery would change me this way. I am still amazed every time I see my reflection in the mirror. 

9 months post-surgery

My confidence level has increased so much!  I keep getting compliments all the time, so that motivated me to join the gym and get working on my body! I feel great and look forward to life with a great outlook. ID Hospital is really the best when it comes to orthognathic and facial contouring surgeries! 

Thank you, ID Hospital, for giving me a new life!~
