Oblique chin: features of the manifestation of the defect and the reasons for its development



Little or as it is called, the bevelled contributions is a congenital or acquired defect in the human mandible. The owner of a weakly pronounced chin often suffers from complexes about his appearance, since this form of the lower jaw can significantly distort the visual appearance of the face.

According to the portal krasota.ru, a short chin affects the overall beauty of the face by more than 50%, so the question of how to eliminate a chin is today more than relevant.



It is important to note that the current trends of the beauty of the face dictate the cult of clear lines, so a chin can be a real problem for a person, be it a woman or a man. Also, a small chin sets the characteristics of the face, creating an individual image.

Causes of Defect

As noted above, the chin of the defect can be congenital and acquired.

Congenital small chin occurs in humans due to hereditary factors, when blood relatives had a similar defect structure of the face.

Acquired small chins may develop for the following reasons:

1. Loss of bone tissue, which is usually observed in the elderly.
2. The deformation of the mandible, which is associated with a previous chin injury. This can happen because of a blunt blow, a fall, etc.
3. Resizing the chin due to surgery, which may not always be successful.
4. Soft tissue atrophy that makes the chin visually smaller.

It is important to know that the correction of a small chin should be chosen by the attending surgeon depending on the degree of neglect of the defect, its cause and severity. Also, the doctor must always take into account the patient's age and the presence of severe chronic diseases.



Main features

Characteristic features of sloping chin disproportionately face and the absence of clear limits of its lines. Also, a person with such a defect has poorly defined cheekbones. The line of the chin itself is not smooth.

Chin correction: methods of diagnosis and methods for removing a small chin

Before you carry out the operation on the chin correction, it is important to ensure beforehand that such defect actually is. Determine your chin size and its deviation from the norm, you can even yourself at home.

To do this, stand in front of the mirror and divide the face into three conditional zones: from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose, from the nose to the bottom of the chin, and from the top of the forehead to the eyebrows.

In that case, if all three of these lines are the same size, it will mean that the person is quite a proportional person and the help of a plastic surgeon is not at all needed.

If the area from the tip of the nose to the chin is much shorter than the other two zones, then this will be a characteristic sign of a chin that may need to be corrected.

Correction methods

Modern plastic surgery always improved, so chin correction, which has an irregular shape, may be carried out by several methods.

The main ones are:

1. Chin correction fillers.
2. Bone grafting.
3. Mentoplasty .
4. Chin implantation.
5. Non-surgical chin correction.

Chin correction with fillers provides for the introduction into the muscles of a person of special preparations that will stretch the skin in the right places, thus creating a visual lengthening of the chin and stretching the cheekbones.

The advantage of this intervention is fast results and a minimum of contraindications, but significant drawback of the procedure is a high risk of side effects. Moreover, the result of such a correction will not be long.

The second method of chin correction (bone grafting) involves the enlargement of a small chin by pushing the deformed portion of the mandible forward.

Bone grafting is performed within an hour. It comprises the administration of general anesthesia, performing a cut in the mouth zone, sawing portion of the mandible and its extension. After that, the surgeon fixes the bone with titanium screws and stitches.

The advantages of bone grafting are:

1. The absence of an implant.
2. The ability to create a normal chin length.
3. Invisible stitches.

In turn, the disadvantages of this intervention will be:

1. The fragility of the bone after sawing.
2. The risk of complications.
3. Long recovery period.
4. The risk of a poorly shaped chin.

With a pronounced deformation of the chin, a person can be shown its implantation. This operation involves the introduction of a special artificial cartilage or biocompatible implant.

Most often, surgeons use silicone implants for implantation, since they grow together with natural human tissues and are securely fixed as a result.

The general course of such an operation is as follows:

1. Anesthesia for the patient.
2. Making a cut in the submandibular region.
3. The establishment of the implant and its further fixation.
4. Stitching.
5. Antiseptic wound treatment.
6. Dressing

The duration of such an operation is an average of 1 hour.

The advantages of chin implantation are a lifetime guarantee of results, as well as the fact that the implant will not be visible even when palpating the chin.

The disadvantage of the procedure is the presence of a foreign object in the body.

It is important to note that sometimes a person implanted own cartilage, which can be taken from the ears, nose, or edges of fabric. At the same time, the surgeon with the help of such material can "mold" the desired shape of the chin.

Ins own cartilage implantation is a low risk of complications, as well as the absence of a foreign object in the body.

Minuses can be called:

1. Risk of further resorption of cartilage.
2. The need for re-intervention for the collection of cartilage tissue.
3. The inability to eliminate pronounced defects of the chin.

Moreover, it is also possible to correct the chin with the help of lipolifting. The essence of this procedure is to obtain the patient's own adipose tissue, its purification and further introduction to the problem area of ​​human.

The duration of lipolifting is not more than forty minutes. The effect after such a procedure lasts up to a year. Possible complications from fat injection, lipofilling can be swelling, pain, infection and inflammation of the tissues.
