The mentoplasty procedure
Choosing augmentation or reduction depends on facial analysis, the bite, bone structure, and your goals. The specialist explains whether further assessment is needed and the limits of aesthetic chin surgery.

Mentoplasty (Chin Surgery) A plan for you.
Mentoplasty changes chin projection or size through augmentation or reduction. Assessment studies its relationship with the nose, lips, and jaw; it may be considered alongside rhinoplasty when appropriate.

Assessment comes first
Your anatomy is the starting point.
Chin analysis considers its relationship with the nose, lips, and jawline. During consultation, the appropriate options for your profile and goals are discussed.
The consultation helps us understand your expectations and explain the options, risks, and follow-up. Results and recovery depend on each individual.
Explore the proceduresChin augmentation
Augmentation may use an implant or techniques involving the bone, depending on the case. When an implant is used, a space is created for placement and its position is secured.
Access may be inside the mouth or beneath the chin. Material, size, anesthesia, and the surgical setting are discussed during planning. Duration and the possibility of going home the same day depend on the indicated procedure.
Chin reduction
Reduction may involve reshaping bone and tissues or repositioning the bone. Its effect on the profile and the relationship between facial features is assessed.
The surgeon explains incisions, anesthesia, and relevant risks, including altered sensation, asymmetry, and the possible need for another procedure.
Chin surgery recovery
Swelling, tightness, and discomfort may occur. The team explains incision care, appropriate food, dressings when needed, and review appointments.
Returning to work and exercise is individualized. If access is inside the mouth, follow the surgeon's hygiene and dietary instructions; there is no single diet or recovery timeline suitable for everyone.
