Question 1

genioplasty recovery time? when will pain subside, when will i be able to move my face and eat etc

Accepted Answer

2-4 weeks: Reconvery from genioplasty is usually in the range of 2-4 weeks.  Pain usually subsides after several days.  Genioplasty is a well proven surgical correction of the chin, but other less invasive techniques are available that may require little to no recovery.  Long lasting injectible fillers may be an easier and more cost effective form of treatment.

Question 2

i'm going in for rhinoplasty, lipo of flanks abdomen, fat graft to cheeks and genioplasty ( which i'm most scared of ) recovery time? swelling etc

Accepted Answer

Speak: With your plastic surgeon re recovery time as he or she can discuss the details of the procedure with you

Question 3

15 weeks post vertical lengthening genioplasty, yesterday while i was kissing i could feel my partners chin pushing mine, and it happened couple of times, is it okay to do so or its gonna affect me ? should i avoid it?

Accepted Answer

: Kissing your partner who underwent a genioplasty 15 weeks ago will not affect you, nor should it have an adverse affect on your partner.

Question 4

had genioplasty and rhinoplasty over a month now. still painful and swells up a lot! especially chin, hurts and very tense. i know it'll take time?

Accepted Answer

Call surgeon: Your postop care covers 90 days of follow-up care at no additional cost. It's included with your surgeries. So it's best to contact her/him, and find out what you can do to relieve the pain, and swelling, and to feel more comfortable during your healing. You need to find out how long this will last, so that you can have peace of mind, and plan other things you can do now to help it along.

Question 5

4 months post vertical lengthening genioplasty. i vommited 2 times today due to food poisoning. is it going to affect my chins position or damage the results of genioplasty?

Accepted Answer

: It should have been healed well by now, your chin is fine.

Question 6

can genioplasty and another cosmetic procedure be performed at the same time? i am interested in not only having genioplasty performed, but also having cosmetic surgery on my nose. i am unhappy with how my chin looks and want it appear more prominent, tho

Accepted Answer

It : It is common for both genioplasty and rhinoplasty to be perfomed at once. Talk to your health care provider about your needs.

Question 7

what is a sliding genioplasty done for?

Accepted Answer

Pros and cons: A sliding genioplasty and chin implants can accomplish the same end result of improving the profile of a deficient chin area. 
The genioplasty is more invasive and involves a permanent restructuring of the anatomy of the lower jaw. 
Chin implants are less invasive and may be easier to achieve the desired end contours needed. 
Consulting a surgeon re: pros and cons of each is recommended.

Question 8

can you tell me about sliding genioplasty?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: A sliding genioplasty and it's derivatives refers to the process of sawing free the end of your chin bone and moving it to create an aesthetic improvement in your chin/face.  While not always appropriate, one advantage to this vs, chin implant it not using synthetic material (other than small plates and screws). Your entire face must be taken into account, not just your chin. See a plastic surgeon.

Question 9

8 weeks post sliding genioplasty with vertical lengthening. my question is , whether my chin is stable at this point and why do i feel a push on life side of chin when accidentally press the right side of it? do u think it would have healed ?

Accepted Answer

: 8 weeks is enough for most surgeries to heal. I think you should see your plastic surgeon so he/she can accurately examine and tell you why

Question 10

would medicaid cover genioplasty(chin)?

Accepted Answer

Might: Might (?) cover if it is for medical reasons (like jaw or occlusion problems).
