Mentoplasty
Enhance your Natural Beauty with Dr. Uriel Muñoz
What is Mentoplasty or Chin Surgery?
Mentoplasty, also known as chin augmentation, is a procedure that enhances the chin and jaw area. This is done by reshaping the chin and jaw with either an implant or fillers. This procedure helps to proportion the face and gives it a more balanced appearance.
What are the benefits of mentoplasty?
Mentoplasty is a great option for those looking to achieve a more balanced facial appearance. It can also help reduce the appearance of a double chin or receding chin. Mentoplasty can also help achieve facial symmetry by improving the proportions of the chin in relation to other parts of the face, such as the nose, cheeks and forehead.
Who is a good candidate for mentoplasty?
Mentoplasty is a good option for those seeking to improve the shape and size of their chin and jaw. Those with a receding chin, a weak chin, a double chin or an irregular jawline may be good candidates for this procedure. It is also a good option for those seeking to improve their facial symmetry and proportion.
What is the procedure?
Mentoplasty is an outpatient procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes approximately one hour. During the procedure, Dr. Munoz will make an incision in the crease under the chin or inside the mouth. He will then place the implant or filler material to shape and enhance the chin and jaw area. The incisions are closed with sutures.
