Chin Implant (Mentoplasty)
Chin Implant Surgery, or Mentoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape, projection, and contour of the chin using a medical-grade implant. It balances facial features, improves jawline definition, and corrects a weak or receding chin dramatically improving side profile and facial harmony.
Types of Chin Augmentation :
- Silicone Chin Implant– Most common, biocompatible, long-lasting, and safe.
- Medpor (Porous Polyethylene) Implant– Promotes tissue integration.
- Sliding Genioplasty– A more invasive surgery where a portion of the chin bone is moved forward for natural augmentation, with or without implants.
Indications :
- Recessed or small chin
- Weak lower face structure
- Poor jawline or neck definition
- Disproportionate profile (nose appears larger than chin)
- Congenital or post-traumatic facial asymmetry
How the Procedure is Done:
- Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia
- A small incision is made either under the chin (external) or inside the mouth (intraoral)
- The soft tissues are lifted and a pre-shaped implant is inserted over the chin bone
- The implant is secured in place and the incision is closed
- Surgery duration: 45 minutes to 1.5 hours
Before & After Care
Before Surgery :
- Avoid smoking and blood-thinners 2 weeks prior
- Maintain oral hygiene if intraoral incision is used
- Routine blood tests and imaging may be advised
After Surgery :
- Mild swelling and tightness are common for 7–10 days
- Use cold compresses and prescribed antibiotics
- Keep head elevated while sleeping
- Avoid pressure or trauma to the chin area
- Resume work in 5–7 days; final contour visible in 4–6 weeks
Benefits :
- Defines jawline and chin profile
- Balances overall facial aesthetics
- Improves neck-chin angle
