REDUCTION

Dr Hunt will reshape the bone of your chin, as agreed prior to your surgery. This will be achieved by making a tiny incision in your mouth.

AUGMENTATION

Dr Hunt will make a small incision in your mouth before inserting a chin implant, selected prior to your surgery.

When can I go home after male genioplasty?

Most of Dr Hunt’s chin surgery (genioplasty) patients stay in hospital overnight, although in some cases you may go home the same day as your surgery. You will be prescribed medication to manage any pain once you get home.

Will I have to return for post-operative care after male genioplasty?

You will see Dr Hunt within the week after your surgery. At this time, any sutures will be removed.

You’ll then have follow up visits to monitor your healing progress and results. These will occur at six weeks, and again at three, six and 12 months.

How long will I be off work after male chin surgery (genioplasty)?

You will need to allow at least 7 to 10 days off work to recover. Strenuous jobs may necessitate more time off.

When can I resume my normal activities after chin genioplasty surgery?

When you get home from hospital, you will need to rest in bed with your head elevated for the first day, and limit your movements to around the house for the next two or three days. Dr Hunt also recommends eating lightly during this time. However, you will be able to resume all other activities as soon as you feel comfortable.

When will I see the end result of male chin surgery (genioplasty)?

You might notice a change in the appearance of your chin after your bandages are removed. However, it will take around six weeks to see the full results, after the swelling subsides.
