MENTOPLASTY - Dra. Lía Fabiano

What is mentoplasty?

Mentoplasty or chin surgery is an intervention that aims at reshaping the anatomy of the chin to create harmony in the patient’s face and profile

The final aesthetic result will be a progressive evolution that will last a time between 6 months and 1 year
Depending on the desired results, it can be done by implanting a prosthesis, sliding a fragment of bone forward, or reducing the mandibular bone.
As a general rule, in order to avoid visible scars, the surgery is performed inside the mouth; in specific cases it can be done with a scar under the chin.
