Plastic Surgery In Netherlands



Plastic Surgery In the Netherlands

 

A receding or backward chin visibly affects the general harmony of the face. Genioplasty in Netherland by adding implants will make it possible to correct this malformation which, in the long term, can cause complications.

 

What is genioplasty?

 

Genioplasty or mentoplasty is surgery of the chin. It corrects the abnormal position of the chin backward called retrogenia or forwards called prognathism. In the Netherlands, this operation also provides a solution in case of lateral displacement of the chin to the left or to the right.

 

The goal of a genioplasty is therefore to regain a symmetrical chin and correct alignment for a better facial profile. Genioplasty with implants or fillers is specific to the treatment of retrogenia, but also in the treatment of a chin that is too short. In the case of prognathism or deviation of the chin, we speak of osteotomy which requires a bone fracture to replace the chin.

 

Indications: why and when to perform genioplasty in Netherland?

 

A facial profile analysis reveals if the chin is too far back from the forehead and the tip of the nose. In this case, for aesthetic reasons, genioplasty makes it possible to find more balanced facial proportions.

 

It is not uncommon for patients to consult for a rhinoplasty when genioplasty seems best indicated. It is nevertheless possible to combine these two surgical operations. The intervention is then called profiloplasty.

 

A receding chin can be very badly experienced. In addition to the resulting complexes, functional reasons can be evoked in the choice of a genioplasty. Indeed, in the long term, a retrogenia or receding chin can lead to complications: influence on the alignment of the teeth, the appearance of a double chin, breathing difficulty, etc.

 

The procedure in the Netherlands is performed on individuals aged 18 and over, that is to say, people who have completed their growth. It is sometimes performed on children or adolescents if the malformation of the chin is troublesome on a daily basis.

 

Genioplasty is an intervention giving a very high index of satisfaction with a very low complication rate and simple and not very constraining consequences when using implants.

 

How is a genioplasty performed in Netherland?

 

Before a genioplasty in Netherland

 

Preoperative examinations begin with an analysis of your morphology. To detect any imbalances, the face is analyzed in its entirety: the relationship of the chin with the nose and the jaw, the shape of the face, etc. An intraoral examination is also necessary.

 

For you to have an idea of ​​the result, a morphing or a computer simulation is very useful. Most often, patients wish to avoid major surgery with difficult consequences. These preoperative consultations make it possible to judge together the appropriate surgical indications.

 

Several options in Netherland are possible to improve the projection of the chin: injections of hyaluronic acid, lipofilling or the patient's fat cell transplant, or the insertion of implants. 

 

Today, porous polyethylene implants (Medpor implants) are preferred over silicone implants which tend to cause bone resorption.

 

Bone or cartilage grafting is also possible. During the consultation, you can ask your questions about these different procedures. If the durable choice of the implant is made, it will be evaluated according to retrogeny.

 

A preoperative visit to the dentist for proper scaling is necessary to avoid the risk of infection. It is imperative in the case of prosthesis installation. In the event of dental articulation concerns requiring real collegial collaboration between your dentist, orthodontist, and maxillofacial surgeon, it is preferable to move towards osteotomy surgery. 

 

A visit to the anesthesiologist in Netherland and a blood test is also necessary. Tobacco should be avoided at least one month before the surgery as well as aspirin-based drugs 2 weeks before.

 

During a genioplasty in Netherland

 

Chin surgery leaves no scars because the incisions are made in the mouth, at the level of the oral mucosa. Once in the chin area, the implant is attached to the jawbone with a small titanium screw.

 

The operation is performed under general anesthesia for a hospital stay of 1 to 4 days. You then quickly return to your room after a short stay in the recovery room. To keep the prosthesis or injections in place, you will keep a bandage around your chin.

 

In the case of injections (lipofilling), the fat is most often taken from the inside of the knees or from abdominal fat. Lipofilling of the chin is performed under local anesthesia and sometimes under sedation. Injections cause very little pain and are a gentler alternative to implant placement.

 

After a genioplasty in Netherland

 

The intervention is painless. Wearing the modeling bandage under the chin is essential during convalescence, so about a week.

 

In the first days after the operation in Netherland, edema in the neck and mouth is common and resolves easily. However, the risk of infection remains real and it is imperative to adopt impeccable oral hygiene during convalescence. You will therefore have to make frequent mouthwashes and opt for a semi-liquid diet for a few days.

 

Genioplasty has a very low complication rate. When performed correctly, complications specific to this surgery are indeed rare. However, it is good to know about it. Possible postoperative effects include:


  • Sensitivity disorders in the oral region. These disorders resolve, but recovery can take a very long time.

  • Complications related to implants. In particular, the bone graft may gradually resorb, requiring further surgery. The same applies in the event of secondary displacement of an implant during the operation.

  • Bleeding after the operation remains very rare, however.

 

The results of a genioplasty in the Netherland

 

If you have opted for filler injections, the results are very satisfactory. The injection of high-density hyaluronic acid has a duration of action of more than one year. Lipofilling provides for gradual resorption of fat up to 20 to 30% of the injected volume. It is, therefore, necessary to expect a slight loss of volume in the 3 months following the operation.

 

With the injections, the result is visible immediately. For intraoral implants, the first results are visible after 10 to 15 days in Netherland. After a genioplasty, the profile is again harmonious thanks to a well-marked projection of the chin.

 

The Duration of a Genioplasty in the Netherland

 

The injection of hyaluronic acid will only require about ten minutes of intervention. Concerning lipofilling, the duration of the intervention varies from one to 2 hours according to the necessary volume sought. For implant placement, the operation lasts about an hour.

 

The price of a genioplasty in the Netherland

 

The price of a genioplasty is 5400 euros in the Netherland including VAT, including the fees of the surgeon and the anesthetist, the clinic fees, and 24-hour hospitalization in a room only. This price also includes the price of the Medpor implant as well as all post-operative visits for one year.
