Chin Augmentation Surgery (Mentoplasty)

If you have a receding chin or jaw line, this surgical procedure is without a doubt the perfect fit for you. In order to achieve a more prominent and well-shaped chin, your plastic surgeon will go over a wide variety of methods that you and he will examine.

1.  THROUGH THE USE OF implant:

The use of special implants, which are formed from silicon with a texture and strength similar to bone, will produce a notable difference in your chin.  And it is no wonder that this procedure, which produces such remarkable results, is also the option that is most simple and popular, because it does not lead to additional scarring, the recovery is very rapid and the surgical scar is completely unseen because it is usually inside the mouth (unless the general health of your teeth requires surgery to be done below the chin).

Principle Advantages:

This procedure can be accomplished with only a local anesthetic and does not require an overnight stay in the hospital.

2. advancement genioplasty

It is possible to do a surgical incision underneath the roots of your teeth with osteosynthetic material (wires or plates with screws) that can be fixed in place in front of the bone and underneath the surgical incision.

Principle Advantages:

The osteosynthetic material (wires or plates with screws) can be removed from your body and a permanent result achieved.

3. ORTHODONTIA + mandibular ADVancement surgery

Undoubtedly the least popular surgery in cases where the jaw line is very receding, it is the most appropriate, although a thorough study is required that takes into account the position of your teeth and facial structure.  However, just as prolonged treatments from an orthodontist is not a favorite with patients desiring immediate results, it is still the best option available. 

Principle Advantage:

This is the ideal treatment for cases that are moderately serious and above.

Osteosynthetic Materials:

Wire, nails, plates, screws, fixatives…This is the equipment made of metal that is generally used to unite fragments of separated bone.
