How Retruded Chin Correction works
A small advancement can be achieved with an implant or fat. Larger changes, or chins that also need length change, are better treated with an advancement genioplasty.
Bringing the chin forward improves lip closure, profile and the jaw–neck angle.

Risks and side effects of Retruded Chin Correction
- SwellingFacial swelling peaks at 2–3 days; most settles in 2–4 weeks and the rest over 3–6 months.
- Implant shiftImplants can move slightly; fixation reduces this.
- NumbnessThe lower lip, chin or cheeks may feel numb for weeks to months; nerves are located on 3D-CT to protect them.
All medical procedures carry risks. Your surgeon will review your medical history, explain the risks that apply to you and discuss alternatives before you decide.
Retruded Chin Correction recovery timeline
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Surgery and rest in a private recovery room; most patients return to their hotel the same day. Cold compresses start straight away. |
| Days 2–3 | Swelling and bruising usually peak. Keep your head elevated, walk gently and avoid alcohol, saunas and exercise. |
| Days 5–7 | Check-up at the clinic; stitches, splints or tapes are removed where used. Most patients are cleared to fly after this visit. |
| Week 2 | Most visible swelling has eased and many people return to desk work and light make-up. |
| Months 1–3 | Residual swelling keeps settling and the shape refines. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed after 4 weeks. |
| Months 6–12 | The final result is generally assessed at this stage. We follow up online after you return home. |
Aftercare tips
- Wear the face band or compression as instructed.
- After intraoral incisions, rinse after meals and eat soft food for 2–4 weeks.
- Avoid pressure or massage on grafted fat for about 4 weeks.
- Sleep on your back with your head raised.
- Avoid smoking, which reduces fat survival and slows bone healing.
