Procedure
Preparation
Before the operation to change the shape of the chin, the doctor conducts a medical examination of the face, prescribes diagnostic tests for the patient and selects an implant. Round implants with side wings are suitable for women, and enlarged implants with long wings are suitable for men. Prostheses can have a perforated or monolithic surface. The choice depends on the doctor's recommendation and the structure of the face.
Chin plastic surgery procedure
Menthoplasty reduction is performed by partially removing the bone cavity of the jaw. It is cut and moved to the back of the face. Mentoplasty augmentation involves moving a fragment of the lower jaw to the face or prosthetics. The chin can also be enlarged using the patient's fatty tissue. In general, an incision is made along the mucous membrane of the oral cavity (the area of the lower part of the lips) or under the chin. In these cases, the scars are almost invisible. To eliminate a double chin, liposuction is used. In this case, the skin muscles under the chin are pulled and excess skin and fat are removed. This achieves harmony of all parts of the face.
Rehabilitation period
During the first three days, the patient may feel discomfort and slight pain. Doctors recommend:
- avoid physical activity;
- reduce facial gestures;
