Mentoplasty (Chin Surgery)
What does mentoplasty involve?
The chin plays a fundamental role in facial harmony. Therefore, this procedure is essential for individuals with a short chin or inadequate mandibular development. Mentoplasty, also known as Chin Surgery, aims to reconstruct the chin using a silicone implant that is fully compatible with the body, thereby improving its shape and projection.
Procedure
Mentoplasty is a straightforward procedure that can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preferences. The procedure begins with a small incision made under the chin, where a solid silicone implant is placed over the bone. In some cases, an implant can be carved from a solid silicone bar (especially when a larger implant is required). The final result is achieved according to the pre-surgical planning, which is discussed and analyzed digitally with the patient.
Advantages of Mentoplasty:
- Quick and simple procedure: Mentoplasty is a fast and straightforward procedure.
- Prompt recovery: Patients experience a quick recovery after the surgery.
- Local or general anesthesia: The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on individual preferences and needs.
- Discreet scars: The resulting incisions are barely noticeable and strategically placed.
- Evident improvement in facial balance: Mentoplasty achieves a noticeable improvement in facial harmony and balance.
