What is mentoplasty?
Mentoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the face, harmonizing facial features and balancing the proportions between the nose, mouth, and chin. Mentoplasty can be either augmentative or reductive, depending on the needs and desires of the patient.
Why is mentoplasty performed?
Mentoplasty is done for aesthetic or functional reasons. Some people may feel dissatisfied with the shape or size of their chin, which can affect their self-esteem and confidence. Others may have breathing or chewing problems due to a malformation or injury in the chin. Mentoplasty can help improve the quality of life by correcting these issues and providing a more harmonious and natural look to the face.
What is the procedure for mentoplasty?
Mentoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient's preferences. The surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth or under the chin to access the mandibular bone. Then, the surgeon can place a silicone implant or another biocompatible material to increase the volume and project the chin forward. Alternatively, the surgeon can cut and reshape the mandibular bone to reduce the size and retract the chin backward. Finally, the surgeon closes the incision with sutures and places a splint or bandage to protect the operated area.
What are the necessary care after surgery?
Mentoplasty is performed in a specialized medical center, with a trained professional team and all necessary safety and hygiene protocols. The surgery can last between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the type of mentoplasty and the individual characteristics of each patient. After the surgery, the patient must follow the surgeon's instructions, such as taking prescribed medications, avoiding hard or spicy foods, maintaining good oral hygiene, sleeping with the head elevated, and avoiding impacts or sudden movements on the face. Recovery time may range from one to two weeks, during which the patient may experience swelling, bruising, pain, or sensitivity in the operated area. These symptoms are normal and generally subside gradually. The final result of the mentoplasty can be appreciated after a few months when the swelling has completely resolved and the tissues have adapted to the new facial contour. It is also important to use special products for progressive recovery, such as a chin brace, which will effectively protect the surgery and your face in general.
