Chin
surgery, also known as mentoplasty,
is a surgical procedure to reshape
the chin either by enhancement with
an implant or reduction surgery
on the bone. Many times a plastic
surgeon may recommend chin surgery
to a patient having nose surgery
in order to achieve facial proportion,
as the size of the chin may magnify
or minimize the perceived size of
the nose. Chin surgery helps provide
a harmonious balance to your facial
features so that you feel better
about the way you look.

Implants
may include solid silicone, bone or fat from
the patient's body.
Length
A half hour to about 2 hours, depending on individual
circumstances.
Side Effects
Difficulty talking and smiling for several days
after surgery. If you have intra-oral sutures,
a patient may be placed on a liquid diet for
few days.
Recovery
If a patient has intra-oral sutures, he or she
may be placed on a liquid diet for few days.
Patients can usually go back to work within
3-6 days and resume workouts after about 2 weeks.
Risks
Possible bleeding, infection, facial numbness
or reaction to anesthesia. Capsular contraction
in which the scar tissues become tightened and
hard. The implant may even shift out of position
or work its way to the surface of the skin,
requiring a second operation.
Results
Permanent, but results may require several days
to become fully visible. Bone and fat implants
can possibly be reabsorbed into the body.
Technology
Some chin implants are inserted through the
inside lower lip (intro-oral incision) to avoid
facial scarring. Chin augmentation is often
combined with liposuction to remove fat from
under the chin and the neck.
Patient Status
Outpatient : Usually outpatient in a surgical
suite, or inpatient at a hospital if you're
having several procedures.
Anesthesia
Local with Sedation
