Chin Surgery in Stockholm – for Facial Balance and Harmony
A chin surgery, also called genioplasty, is an effective method for creating a more symmetrical face and balanced proportions. At Victoriakliniken in Stockholm, we see patients seeking this treatment to correct a prominent chin or a chin that does not harmonize with the rest of the facial features.
The procedure may involve the use of a chin implant to enhance and shape the chin naturally. Our experienced plastic surgeons work with precision and a focus on aesthetics to achieve a result that looks natural and complements your unique facial structure.
At Victoriakliniken in Stockholm, we offer tailored solutions and personalized care—from your initial consultation to post-operative follow-up—to provide you with the best possible experience and a harmonious result.

Before the surgery
During the consultation, we discuss your individual goals and analyze how your chin affects the overall balance of your face. If you are a candidate for a chin implant, we review the size and shape that best suit your needs.
We base our approach on your unique features to create a symmetrical facial profile that harmonizes with your natural traits. You will also have the opportunity to view before-and-after photos and discuss pricing and treatment options.
During surgery
Själva ingreppet utförs under lokalbedövning eller narkos, och vi placerar snittet diskret under hakan för att minimera synliga ärr. Vid användning av hakimplantat placeras implantatet med precision för att skapa ett balanserat haka-ansikte-förhållande.
The procedure usually takes one to two hours, and you can typically go home the same day.
After operation
After the procedure, you can expect some swelling and tenderness under the breast, which usually peaks on the second or third day and then gradually decreases.
You will be given pain medication to take home, and after a week, you will come in for a follow-up and check-up. We recommend that you refrain from exercising during the first three weeks after the procedure. Walking is fine immediately. After six weeks, you can resume full exercise, which is twice as fast compared to traditional breast augmentation.
Results
The results of your chin surgery become gradually visible as the swelling subsides. Within three to six months, you will see the full effect of a more balanced chin and a symmetrical face.
Whether you want to correct a prominent chin, use a chin implant, or create better balance between your chin and face, our goal is to provide a harmonious and natural enhancement.

Complications
Discomfort
Discomfort may occur after the procedure but usually decreases over time.
Scarring
After a surgical incision, the body produces collagen to repair the “damage.” Collagen acts like cement, filling the space between two bricks. Always too much collagen is produced, which is why we also produce an enzyme called collagenase that “melts” away the excess collagen. This molding process lasts for months. Collagen is produced, and the surplus is removed to restore the skin’s original shape. If there is an excess of collagen left, a more prominent scar will form.
A perfect balance between collagen and collagenase leaves the least noticeable scar. Often, however, we heal too well! After the skin has regenerated, the healing process continues, and the scar can become larger than necessary. If we could stimulate extra collagenase in our cells, we could dissolve this excess scar tissue.
Plastic surgeons and dermatologists have known for decades that there are ways to reduce the size of scars. However, until now, no method has been particularly comfortable. For example, it has been found that pressure bandages help increase the production of collagenase, and this has been used for burn treatment for over a century. Cortisone creams not only soothe irritated skin but also stimulate natural collagenase production. In extreme cases, doctors may use cortisone injections.
For decades, doctors have prescribed silicone sheets. Taping silicone film over a scar will reduce it. This was discovered in the early 1980s when a doctor attempted to apply even pressure to a scar using a silicone sheet. Scars treated with silicone appeared to diminish much more quickly. Vitamin E helps by working on the collagen fibers, making scars softer and more pliable.
Closing the skin after breast augmentation
The first step to achieving the best possible scar is to close the skin without tension. The skin may appear wrinkled initially, but it will smooth out over time.
After the skin is properly closed, what else can be done to minimize scarring?
If you wish to continue treating the scar yourself, vitamin E or a vitamin E–rich oil massaged into the skin can be helpful. Massaging with oil by “folding macaroni” along the scar, upward and downward, often helps soften the scar and make it more flexible (this also works well for other scars, such as those from a cesarean section).
Numbness
Some patients may experience numbness in the lower lip and teeth, which usually returns to normal within three months.
Swelling
A common side effect that may persist for a while but gradually decreases.
Bruising
Can occur in the face but usually disappears after a few weeks.
Stiffness
The face may feel stiff after the surgery, but this gradually improves over time.
Infection
Very rare, but may require medical treatment.
