A 22-year-old girl came to our hospital seeking to treat the defect on her chin. She complained of a growth of tissue protruding on her chin which was initially small and gradually grew to the present size and the overlying skin was fiery red & blistered. This was adversely affecting her appearance. She gave a history of a similar such growth in the past in her chin which was removed elsewhere but subsequently re-occurred. She wanted a permanent treatment.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the surgical treatment. An angiogram revealed the lesion to be a hemangioma. A 3D CT scan showed bony excess of the chin bone that gave a more protruding appearance to the chin. Dr. Balaji performed a combined genioplasty procedure removing the excess bone along with the hemagioma lesion through the scar of the previous surgery itself thereby avoiding any new scar on the face. The patient recovered well and is happy to have an improved appearance and the defect cured.
