Procedures associated with rhinoplasty
The procedures most commonly performed together with rhinoplasty are chin augmentation and sliding genioplasty, to advance or set back the chin.
Chin augmentation
Chin augmentation consists of placing an implant in front of the chin. It is preferably placed through the mouth, beneath the gums, so that no visible scar is left.
In other cases, when a neck refinement procedure (double chin) is also performed, a small external incision under the chin can be used.
We use pre-moulded silicone implants, imported and approved by ANMAT (Argentina's medical products regulator). They come in different sizes and shapes to suit each case, and in some cases they are hand-carved.
Sliding genioplasty to advance or set back the chin
Advancement genioplasty is very useful when a larger augmentation is needed.
The great advantage of this technique is that the chin can be adjusted along all three spatial axes: forwards or backwards, to gain or lose height and to reduce lateral asymmetries.
This technique is also reversible and, once the bone has been reshaped, requires no implant material. Sliding allows changes of up to 2 cm in profile view, both forwards and backwards, so it is preferred when an augmentation of more than 7 mm is needed. Once moved, the bone is fixed with a titanium chin plate and no implant material is needed to maintain the aesthetic change.
Chin setback
If the chin is overdeveloped (prognathism), a chin setback can also be performed, removing the excess bone while preserving its contour. If, besides the aesthetic problem of a small or large chin, there is a functional bite disorder (open bite, underbite), orthodontics and orthognathic surgery may be needed, which consists of moving the whole jaw forwards or backwards.
Among the tools we use to assess each case, radiographic cephalometry and simulation software during the consultation are very useful.
