Mammoplasty (breast plastic surgery)

Mentoplasty

The aesthetics of the face directly depend on the shape and size of the chin. If the patient is confused by a too small or large chin, this problem can be solved surgically with the help of mentoplasty.

Mentoplasty surgery is one direction of the Dobrobut Medical Aesthetic Surgery Clinic. First-class surgeons are ready to help you correct the facial contours using the latest European equipment. Plastic surgery is performed according to international medical protocols.

Types of mentoplasty

In our clinic, two types of mentoplasty are practiced:

Mentoplasty for chin augmentation. The surgeon places the implant on the patient’s periosteum (endoprosthetics). Or it pushes the lower jaw and then fixes it. There is another option for plastic surgery - lipofilling, that is, an increase in the chin because of the patient’s adipose tissue.
Mentoplasty for chin reduction. If the patient has a too large chin, the lower jaw fragment is moved back and fixed in this position. The second method of reducing mentoplasty is dissection and partial removal of the bone.
The technique and plan of the operation are discussed with each patient individually after an in-person examination by a doctor. This is why it is important to make an appointment with a plastic surgeon.
