The combination of expert maxillo facial surgery together with dental surgery offer the very latest techniques to provide a dramatic result and a more aesthetically pleasing face. A technique which is becoming more and more popular is mentoplasty, a surgical procedure to reshape the chin by enhancement, reduction or reshaping. The surgery aims to give you a more balanced facial structure. There are two methods of chin augmentation- surgery and injectables. Enhancing surgery involves the use of an implant into the tissue on the jaw under anaesthetic. Following surgery a brace may need to be used to support the implant. Recovery is usually a few weeks. Alternatively injection filler can be used without a surgical team; however it is much more expensive.
Chin reduction is also another procedure which is undertaken under anaesthetic and can up to three hours. A proportion of the bone will be removed or repositioned. Recovery again takes a few weeks.
There are side effects with the surgery as there are with most, possible risks include infection, blood loss, and swelling. It is therefore important to seek advice from your local clinic or GP before undertaking surgery.
