It's simple aesthetic procedure, the price of which is incommensurate with the result that you get at the end.

The indications of mentoplasty

• jaw deformity that prevents the patient from speaking or eating.

Contraindications to plastic

Possible complications

You may notice a slight swelling in the area of intervention and feel numbness of the lower lip immediately after mentoplasty. But these symptoms pass quickly. In a more complex form, the implant may shift or induration of the area around the chin may appear.

Preparation and stages of mentoplasty

The patient makes a number of standard procedures in the preparatory period, which includes fluorography, cardiogram, analyses of urine and blood. It can be assigned additionally to check the correctness of the bite.

The operation may be carried out in two ways: through the tissue incision under the jaw, either using the internal method - through the incision of the mucous between the lips and gums. The surgeon can use implants for increasing, or just push the jaw bone of the patient forward. When reducing the size of the chin, the unnecessary portion of the bone is being separated.
