Chin Surgery – Mentoplasty
About Mentoplasty
This is the procedure by which the projection of the chin is modified, either to increase or decrease it.
In the case of an increase, we generally use a biocompatible silicone implant, which adapts very favorably, achieving a natural appearance and continuity with the facial skeleton. In some cases, and when the correction or increase is one centimeter or more, an implant is not used, but rather a cut of the bone that allows that part to be moved forward.
Likewise, when we want to decrease the projection of the chin, a bone cut is used with a backward displacement of the chin portion.
