Sliding genioplasty is a surgical procedure to reposition the chin. The surgery involves making an incision inside the mouth. The surgeon will then reposition the chin bone and secure it with screws or plates. Sliding genioplasty is performed for patients with a receded or insufficiently projected chin or for those who have airway concerns, such as snoring or sleep apnea. Genioplasty in Denver can improve the facial jawline and overall facial contours, resulting in a stronger jawline, a well-balanced chin position, and airway improvement.

Recovery from a sliding genioplasty is typically pretty quick, with most people being able to return to their normal activities within a week. There may be some initial swelling and bruising, but this should subside within a few days. It’s important to avoid any strenuous activity or contact sports for at least four weeks after surgery to give the incision time to heal properly. To help with the swelling, you will want to sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights after your genioplasty in Denver.

V-line surgery is a type of facial cosmetic surgery that narrows the jawline and creates a more V-shaped appearance. This surgery is often done in combination with other facial surgeries, such as a chin reduction or rhinoplasty. A V-shaped face is often seen as being more youthful and attractive, so if your face is too wide or “boxy”, V-line surgery in Lone Tree may be a good option for you. This procedure can also correct any imbalances in your facial features.

Dr. Fathimani curates a highly personalized V-line surgical plan based on your unique anatomy and goals. After administering local anesthesia or general anesthesia, the surgeon makes small incisions inside the mouth. After making the incisions, the surgeon trims away the surrounding jawbone tissues to make your face look more tapered and v-shaped. The surgeon will also make an incision near the front of the mouth to modify the chin shape, following which the incisions are closed with stitches.
