The position and shape of the chin highly contributes to the harmony and aesthetic balance of the face. If the chin is located more in the front of the aesthetic line carried perpendicularly from the base of the nose we have “macrognathism”, whereas if it located behind this line, we call it “micrognathism”. The result of micro- or macrognathism is that the whole face is out of alignment, and sometimes it can be combined with problems in the convergence of the teeth.
You can return home the same day, and after about 3 days you can return to your daily activities. There may be a slight pain that is treated with common painkillers. Minor swelling around the area is normal and will subside over the next 2-3 days.
The results of genioplasty surgery are impressive, as it essentially balances the facial features and provides a more beautiful face.
