Correction of the chin shape – augmentation (reduction) is called mentoplasty. This type of plastic surgery is indicated in cases of congenital anomalies of the chin, age-related changes in the chin area, and chin injuries. Chin augmentation is considered the most popular and least traumatic procedure.
Preoperative examination and preparation are standard. Many plastic surgery clinics perform computer modeling of the future chin area. Contraindications to chin augmentation include hematological diseases and decompensated conditions of various organs and systems. At the clinic, the risks of chin plastic surgery are assessed during a consultation with a therapist and anesthesiologist after the results of the tests are processed.
Depending on the type of surgery (chin augmentation or reduction), the plastic surgeon carefully plans the surgical procedure.
In reduction mentoplasty, excess bone mass is removed and part of it is moved backward. This type of surgery is quite traumatic and labor-intensive, so this type of mentoplasty is most often replaced by facelift.
Removal of the “double chin” is achieved by performing liposuction with skin tightening to restore its former tone. However, liposuction alone, without further measures aimed at weight loss, does not give long-lasting results.
Chin augmentation, as well as corrective options for surgery, are most often combined with the installation of implants. The most common types of implants in this case are silicone or cartilage. The operation requires general or local anesthesia and takes about an hour and a half. There are two types of access for chin augmentation:
1. An incision inside the mouth, located between the lip and teeth. This type of access leaves absolutely no traces and is recommended by Dr. Slosser when performing chin augmentation.
2. An incision through the skin in the lower part of the chin. This method of mentoplasty is less aesthetic, as it leaves traces on the skin.
The operation takes about an hour. After the operation, a compression bandage is applied to the face.
In many cases, the patient can be discharged in the first few days after chin augmentation. The bandage should be worn for another week, with visits to the clinic for dressing changes. Swelling and bruising in the soft tissue area may persist for up to a month, but the results of the mentoplasty should not be evaluated until three to four months after the procedure. After this period, all recovery processes in the chin area are complete, the swelling in the deep soft tissue area will finally subside, and the chin will take on its new, final shape.
The results of the operation are long-lasting. The procedure itself never causes complications, which is an undeniable advantage of chin plastic surgery.
