CHIN AUGMENTATION / IMPLANTS
Mentoplasty




Mentoplasty, or chin surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the structure of the chin and provide a more harmonious balance to one’s facial features. Enhancing the chin can be achieved through either chin augmentation or chin reduction. Chin augmentation involves the insertion of a chin implant. This procedure results in a stronger, more defined jawline. Chin reduction involves submental liposuction, where fat deposits are removed and helps provide a smoother chin contour. This can help eliminate the appearance of a double chin.

  • Keep your head elevated 12” to 18” above the level of your heart by using pillows. DO NOT LIE FLAT.
  • Sleep on your back.

  • Do not take oral Vitamin E for one week.
  • No bending over or heavy lifting for one week.
