“…Many techniques were described to advances, recues, superior and inferior chin reposition and corrections of chine asymmetries [3]. Many stabilization techniques have been used with genioplasty including stainless wires [4], Kirschner wire [5], Paulus' plate [6], screws of 2, 0 or 2, 4 mm associated with Miniplate [7], and resorble Miniplate [8]. Complication frequently reported in association with genioplasty is the neurosensory alteration, have been reported the resolution of sensibility in 1year post-operative [9].…”

Genioplasty is a procedure designed for correction of chin deformities, designed to achieve aesthetic objectives, without functional changes. There are few complications associated with genioplasty been reported in literature, including neurosensory disturbances, teeth apices injury, muscle dysfunctions (mentalis muscle ptosis) and relapses with a rare complication been reported including mucocele in the chin region. However this patient post-operative an eventful the time was in the hospital which was forty eight hours (48hours) then patient discharge home with antibiotic and pain medication.
