There are the following indications for surgery to correct the size or shape of the chin:

• A chin set aside;
• a double chin, which is associated with tissue ptosis;
• birth defects;
• received chin injuries;
• dissatisfaction with the patient`s appearance;
• the protruding part of the lower jaw

A plastic surgeon can change the appearance of the chin by introducing a simulated silicone implant or using an autograft. For example, when the nose is plasticized, the doctor takes part of the cartilage from the area where the hump is located. Next, he installs the resulting material in the chin area.

If the patient`s chin is too small, an implant is implanted in the area. Thus, the profile acquires a smooth and harmonious appearance.

Reduces the chin of the maxillofacial surgeon working with bone facial structures. You can`t do without his advice. It works with the gnatic region and is able to correct even the most severe cases.

When distinguishing different types of mentoplasty, most often we are talking about two specific methods. If we generalize, then almost any surgical operation in this area means an increase or decrease in the chin.

In this case, a bone bridge is used or an implant is implanted. During the operation, the surgeon takes the patient`s cartilage tissue or silicone. In the first case, the prosthesis is made right during the surgical operation. In other situations, it is made in advance.

If necessary, to reduce the size of the chin, the doctor removes a large bone bridge, if the cause of the defect is its protrusion. The surgeon dissects the jaw bone and moves its lower part back. At the same time, there are no stitches left on the patient`s face after the operation, since the surgeon works exclusively through the inner part of the area.

Of course, there are less traumatic ways to cope with the defect. For example, the patient can choose chin lipolysis injection pictures of the result of which are presented for review. There is also chin lifting, which also helps to improve the appearance of this area. However, these methods are not as effective and cannot always correct the defect.

Regardless of the final decision of the patient, you should always listen to the doctor who will tell you the best option.

Before performing chin lift surgery to correct the size or shape of the chin, a diagnosis is prescribed. The examination allows you to accurately identify or exclude the presence of any contraindications. In some cases, the bite is checked. If the tests indicate defects, an operation is assigned to correct them.

After the surgical operation, the patient is obliged to spend one day in the hospital. In the first few days, there may be problems such as difficulty chewing, swelling, changes in sensitivity. At this time, you can take painkillers. In addition, during the rehabilitation period, the following tips should be followed:

• Use a tape that supports the chin;
• Take medications prescribed by your doctor;
• Rinse your mouth with disinfectant solutions;
• Do not take solid food.

If the operation is performed externally, the sutures are removed within a week after the procedure. After the doctor`s examination, a person can already return to work if the surgeon does not give any other recommendations.

The result is obvious almost immediately. The operation can be performed at any age. Gender also doesn`t matter. Patients always note that the rehabilitation period is quick and easy.

Mentoplasty is a safe surgical operation to eliminate chin defects. Modern technologies, a well-chosen surgeon and his professionalism make the procedure completely safe. The patient only needs to prepare for it and undergo full rehabilitation after it.
