CHIN · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Sliding Genioplasty (Advancement): before & after and recovery stages
Compare the chin profile as swelling recedes around an illustrated forward bone movement.
SUMMARY
What this example shows
The lower chin surface moves forward and slightly downward as an example of chin-bone repositioning. Early swelling obscures the profile. The animation shows the outer surface; it does not calculate an osteotomy, fixation, bite or bone union.
STAGE BY STAGE
Sliding Genioplasty (Advancement) recovery stages
Before treatment
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
First few days: Swelling obscures projection
Lower-chin fullness overlaps the forward contour.
Swelling is commonly most noticeable around days two to three.
Around 2 weeks: Profile emerging
Less fullness reveals more of the chin edge.
Much early swelling can improve while subtle fullness remains.
Around 1 month: Projection clearer
The chin remains forward in this surface example.
A clearer outline does not establish bone union.
Around 3 months: Later profile example
Little early swelling remains in the illustration.
Subtle changes and altered sensation can follow different courses.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
Fullness surrounds the repositioned chin outline.
The chin looks fuller as swelling overlaps the example advancement.
Temporary fullness begins to reveal the profile.
Less swelling makes the altered chin position clearer.
Some residual fullness remains in this illustration.
The example profile is easier to compare.
Surface settling does not establish bone union or sensory recovery.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
This depicts advancement with slight lengthening. Other movement directions, fixation and bite changes are not reconstructed.
Longer term
Bone healing, sensation and symmetry need individual assessment. The final surface frame is not a return-to-activity date.
EVIDENCE NOTES
Sources and limitations
- BAOMS: Genioplasty
Chin-bone repositioning, swelling most noticeable around days two to three and residual fullness over months.
