Mentoplasty: Redefine your face with precision

Although changes are visible immediately, final results may take several months to fully appear as swelling must completely subside.

Most patients experience moderate discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed painkillers. Swelling and bruising are common during the first week.

Implants are usually made of solid silicone or biocompatible materials like Medpor. These are safe, durable, and well-tolerated by the body.

No, mentoplasty should not affect your bite or dental function if performed correctly by an experienced surgeon.

Yes, dermal fillers (such as hyaluronic acid) can be used to temporarily enhance the chin. However, they do not provide the permanent results or precision of surgery.

Yes, non-surgical mentoplasty involves injecting hyaluronic acid or other dermal fillers into the chin to improve projection and definition.

It's ideal for those seeking a subtle change or wanting to test the effect before committing to surgery.
