Simulation of chin and lower jaw advancement
Lower jaw back, chin tucked in
When the lower jaw is atrophied, that is to say less developed than the rest of the face, this can have several consequences:
- Incisor teeth that push the lower lip forward.
- Distended neck skin, double chin, fold of skin under the chin.
- Aesthetic discomfort, loss of self-confidence
- Snoring, sleep apnea
- Chewing problems.
We speak of a receding chin or retrognathia.
Also, sagging and wrinkled chin skin can also be due to an underdeveloped chin. In this case, the procedure is performed only on the chin and is primarily aesthetic. Therefore, it is called chin lengthening genioplasty.
Simulation of chin or mandible advancement
The chin advancement surgery simulation is performed from a profile photo. Indeed, it is carried out on 2D/3D editing software that will simulate the result that one could hope for. This remains a simulation and it is important to ask your surgeon for advice once you have obtained the before/after simulation. Therefore, the jaw advancement simulation will take into account:
- Jaw advancement
- Effects on the lower and upper lips
- More marked separation between the face and neck
- Skin of the jowl and upper neck tightened
- Face that appears less “sad” thanks to the tension on the skin of the lower part of the face which will reduce the wrinkles in the folds of the mouth.
