What is a genioplasty?
Genioplasty is the medical term for surgery that alters the shape and size of a chin and improves contours of the chin, neck, and jawline. If you are looking for more balanced facial features, a chin enhancement could be the ideal solution.
What are my options?
There are several types of genioplasties. Dr. Sanovich can:
- Advance your chin forward if it is recessed (Advancement Genioplasty).
- Push your chin back if it juts out (Reduction Genioplasty).
- Move your chin to the side to improve symmetry.
- Remove or add bone to increase or decrease the length of your chin.
Does a genioplasty hurt?
Surprisingly, no! Genioplasty is normally performed under deep IV sedation, so you will be completely comfortable. During the first week of healing you may experience swelling and slight discomfort, but with the provided prescriptions and detailed post-surgical recommendations your downtime will be minimal.
At the conclusion of the procedure, Dr. Sanovich will provide a non-opioid injection, EXPAREL. This provides significant long-lasting pain control while reducing opioid use. Dr. Sanovich is always available should you have any difficulty or concern.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can genioplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, genioplasty is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures like rhinoplasty (nose surgery) or neck liposuction to create a more harmonious and balanced overall facial appearance.
How long does the genioplasty procedure take?
The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
How soon after genioplasty can I return to work?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to a desk job or school within 7 to 10 days, though some visible swelling will still be present.
How do I prepare for my genioplasty surgery?
Preparation often includes avoiding certain medications like aspirin and ibuprofen, refraining from smoking, and arranging for a friend or family member to drive you home and assist you in the initial recovery period.
Will my diet be restricted after genioplasty?
Yes, a soft-food diet is recommended for the first 1-2 weeks to prevent stress on the healing bone and incision. You can gradually return to your normal diet as comfort allows.

What is the process?
Dr. Sanovich cuts the chin bone away from the rest of the jaw and moves it to the desired location. This procedure is called osteotomy and can be used to increase or decrease the profile projection of the chin. Dr. Sanovich utilizes cutting-edge medical technology, such as 3D imagery and virtual surgical planning, to help his patients visualize their results. He then crafts an individualized treatment plan to achieve the patient’s goals.
