Understanding the Differences in Genioplasty for Younger and Older Patients
Genioplasty is a surgical procedure used to reshape or enhance the chin, and it can play a significant role in improving facial balance and profile. Age can influence both the risks and benefits of genioplasty, with younger and older patients experiencing different outcomes and recovery patterns. Recent studies suggest that older patients may have a higher risk of sensory loss and neurosensory complications following surgery, while younger patients might recover sensation more quickly and experience greater aesthetic flexibility during facial growth phases.
