Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, reshapes the chin through surgery. It is done either by placing an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. It helps balance the facial features perfectly, leaving you beautiful and confident. 

It can be performed on the lower jaw line and chin area to improve the proportions of the face. Your new look will boost your self-confidence and reduce anxiety. To maintain a balance of the face, the doctor may suggest rhinoplasty to accompany the mentoplasty procedure. If you want to understand the details of the surgery, book your consultation with our experts. 

What are the types of chin surgeries?

Depending on your facial requirement, the plastic surgeon may suggest either of the two surgeries.

Chin Augmentation/Implants: This helps augment an under-projected chin. This is done by placing the implant directly on the bone. A small incision inside the mouth or underneath the skin of the chin helps place the implant inside. The cut is closed with sutures post placement of the implant. A mild swelling may persist for a few days and patients can resume work within a week.

Chin Reduction: This type of surgery reduces an over-projected chin. It is done under a general anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure. After a small incision is made inside the mouth, the excess bone is removed and chin contoured to the required shape.
