Mentoplasty

Mentoplasty, commonly known as chin surgery, is a cosmetic surgery used to improve the appearance of the chin and balance the face. Mentoplasty surgery is frequently coupled with other procedures to provide the best results, which are as follows. –

    • Patients who want to have a rhinoplasty treatment (or nose operation) may also choose to have a mentoplasty procedure at the same time. The altered nose shape and size may cause a loss of balance in the face; this can be remedied by expanding the chin at the same time. The altered nose shape and size may result in a loss of balance in the face; which can be repaired by expanding the chin at the same time.

    • Patients with a double chin may choose liposuction to enhance the chin augmentation effects.

    • A patient with drooping skin around the jaw may wish to consider Facial Cosmetic Surgery for the same reason.

Dr. Goutam Guha has been helping people enhance the shape and look of their chins using Mentoplasty for over a decade.

The Mentoplasty Surgery Procedure
Chin surgery is classified into two types: Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty) and Chin Reduction (Mentoplasty).
    • Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty) - To augment the chin, Dr. Goutam Guha begins by creating an incision within the mouth where the gum and lower lip meet or just beneath the chin in the natural crease. The implant is made of a synthetic substance that feels similar to the natural tissue present in the chin. It is available in a variety of sizes and may be tailored to the shape of the patient's face. Following implantation, he will seal the incision with fine sutures. Scarring is not visible when the incision is made inside the mouth. When the incision is made behind the chin, the scar is barely noticeable.

    • Chin Reduction (Mentoplasty) - During chin reduction surgery, incisions are made in the mouth or beneath the chin. Dr. Goutam Guha sculpts the bone to improve its appearance. During this surgery, he makes an incision to enable the realignment of the facial bones.

A dressing is applied immediately after any of the operations which can be removed in two to three days. However, the complete results will be visible only once the swelling will be healed.

Aftercare
    • Following surgery, patients may experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising, which can be alleviated by taking painkillers or antibiotics prescribed by Dr. Goutam Guha.

    • To reduce chewing, you should follow a liquid and soft food diet for a few days after surgery.

    • You should be able to resume your routine activities within 10 days, and your chin should be completely healed within six weeks.
