Mentoplasty is suitable for people who want to improve the contour and projection of the chin, thus contributing to the balance of the facial profile. This procedure can correct a receding chin, asymmetries or disproportionate dimensions, providing a natural and harmonious appearance.
Mentoplasty consists of reshaping the chin through augmentation with personalised implants or through repositioning of the mandibular bone. The procedure may involve the use of biocompatible materials or osteotomy techniques in order to obtain the desired shape. The procedure is adapted to the needs of each patient in order to ensure a balanced and natural facial profile.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s preferences. The duration of the procedure varies between 1 and 2 hours.
Rest and avoidance of intense physical effort are recommended. Swelling and slight bruising are frequent, and the pain can be managed with prescribed medication.
The swelling begins to decrease, and the patient can gradually return to light daily activities. It is important to follow the postoperative instructions for the hygiene and protection of the operated area.
Healing continues, and most restrictions are lifted. The contour of the chin becomes increasingly defined, and the postoperative discomfort diminishes significantly.
The final results can be appreciated after approximately 3 to 6 months, when the tissues stabilise completely.
The risks are minimised through rigorous preoperative evaluation, careful surgical technique and adequate postoperative monitoring.
The final results can be observed after 3 to 6 months, during which the swelling reduces and the tissues adapt to the new contour of the chin.
The scars are usually placed in discreet areas, such as inside the mouth, and become almost invisible over time.
Yes, mentoplasty can be combined with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty, in order to achieve an optimal facial balance, but this is discussed in detail during the consultation.
A rest period of a few days is recommended, and the avoidance of intense physical effort for approximately 2 weeks, for optimal healing.
