Mentoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to improve the appearance of the chin. Mentoplasty can be performed with a variety of techniques, depending on the specific needs of the patient. In general, mentoplasty may involve the insertion of a silicone implant or bone reduction to improve the shape and size of the chin.

The mentoplasty procedure begins with a medical consultation where treatment options are discussed and the appropriate treatment plan for the patient is determined. During surgery, a small incision is made in the mouth or under the chin to access the chin bone. The bone can be reduced or augmented depending on the patient’s need. If an implant is used, it is placed in a pocket that is created in the chin tissue.
