Why consider genioplasty?
What benefits come with genioplasty?

- Highly customized procedure
Who makes a good genioplasty candidate?
MTF clients who are unhappy with a masculine-looking chin will benefit greatly from genioplasty. We require that all who undergo surgery be non-smokers in adequate health, on both a physical and emotional level, and that they have realistic expectations for their results, based on their confidential San Francisco consultation.
What can I expect from recovery?
Patients will usually take antibiotics for several days to ensure no infections arise. Stitches within the mouth will gradually be absorbed by the body. A soft food diet is recommended for the first month, and you must rinse your mouth with a prescription mouthwash after every meal. Exercise should be delayed for about 30 days as you heal and recover. Major swelling and bruising will go away within 21-30 days, while minor swelling may persist up to 1 year.
What is the cost for genioplasty?
The exact cost will need to be calculated based on your unique anatomy and goals for improvement. Anesthesia, facility fees and surgeon’s fees will all affect the final cost. Dr. Satterwhite, Dr. Pang, and Dr. Gurjala will offer you an in-depth, personalized quote at the end of your private consultation in San Francisco.
