MENTOPLASTY OR CHIN SURGERY

The chin is one of the parts that most defines a person’s face from an aesthetic point of view, as it marks a reference point and breaks the transition between the face and the neck. Together with the cheekbones, they form the so-called triangle of youth.

WHAT DOES MENTOPLASTY CONSIST OF?

Mentoplasty or chin surgery is a quick and relatively simple surgical procedure that offers incredible aesthetic results on the chin. A small intraoral incision is made (inside the mouth) through which the chin bone is approached and the surgeon makes the necessary movements to harmonize the patient’s face. The movements can be:

Advance, or move the chin forward.
Backward, or move the chin backwards.
From side to side, which can help with asymmetrical chins.
Vertical changes, such as lengthening or shortening the chin.

WHY GET A MENTOPLASTY?

As an auxiliary procedure in orthognathic surgery to achieve greater facial balance after repositioning the maxilla and mandible bones.
To correct abnormalities in bone development in the
To harmonize facial features, when the chin is too large or small for the patient’s face.
As part of the gender reassignment process.

It should be noted that if there is a problem with the occlusion and/or skeletal nature of the jaw, a mentoplasty will not be sufficient to solve it. In these cases, orthognathic surgery is required, normally jaw advancement.

MENTOPLASTY AT ONE FACE CLINIC

Thanks to the new techniques used at Clínica One Face, this surgery is always performed under local anesthesia and sedation if the patient requires it, on an outpatient basis.

We use cutting guides, which we develop from the patient’s CT scan, to know exactly how much to cut, and move the chin, and then place titanium plates designed for each patient. Thus the result is optimal and adapted to each patient.

There are no visible scars and recovery is very fast.

Another highly sought-after option to increase chin projection is customized peek prostheses
