Mentoplasty: Transforming Journey for Chin

If you want to have a balanced and feminine face, a better understanding of mentoplasty can be a good start. Mentoplasty, also known as chin surgery, provides a more aesthetic posture by giving the face a balanced appearance.

A chin that is retracted or larger than it should be can seriously impair the aesthetic condition of the face, especially in profile. This image, which seriously affects the appearance of the face in profile, can seriously damage self-confidence. At this point, mentoplasty offers effective solutions. This technique aims to create a more attractive profile to the face by correcting (reducing or enlarging) a retracted chin. may include minimising an overly prominent chin to create a more balanced profile. In this article, we will discuss the profile correction process, focusing on chin surgeries through mentoplasty.

What is Mentoplasty?

Mentoplasty involves shaping the chin to give the face a balanced proportion. Here, a visual planning is made based on the profile view of the face. Depending on the condition of the person’s face, surgeons focus on giving a small and retracted chin an ideal appearance with the help of implants, while in some cases, they focus on reducing a large chin. This surgery addresses the asymmetric posture of the face or congenital problems.

This technique, also known as chin surgery, is an effective treatment method that will increase self-confidence while giving the person the desired transformation, appearance and face. This process is a very applicable surgery in terms of being a process that is personalised according to the expectations and problems of the individuals.

Don’t confuse about Mentoplasty and Genioplasty

Although mentoplasty and genioplasty are two surgical processes that aim to give the face an aesthetic appearance by improving the appearance of the chin, there are some differences in terms of scope and applied technique. Mentoplasty is a cosmetic surgery process due to the use of implants. Genioplasty, on the other hand, focuses on the jawbone and involves cutting, filing or repositioning the jawbone. The recovery time is longer in genioplasty.

What is the Role of Implants in Mentoplasty?

In this surgery, implants are of great importance in chin augmentation surgery, which is an extremely trendy application to create a more balanced profile to the face by increasing the prominence of the chin. Depending on the desired result, the surgeon selects the implant and places the implant to enlarge the bone structure that will affect the chin structure.

This procedure makes effective and extremely natural-looking changes in the chin. The implants are made of biocompatible materials, which means they are safe. And the body is extremely unlikely to reject the implant. The result is much more balanced and attractive facial features with a more defined jawline.

Is it possible to combine Mentoplasty with other FFS procedures?

If the surgeon deems it necessary, yes it is possible. In line with the expectations of people, combining Mentoplasty with other facial surgeries can be very effective for better results. In particular, procedures such as rhinoplasty or facelift accompany mentoplasty. The goal of this simultaneous and comprehensive procedure is to provide more proportionate and harmonious features. However, it is still extremely important to stick to the surgeon’s ideas during this period for the health and safety of people.

How Does a Mentoplasty Proceed?

Familiarising yourself with the steps of a typical mentoplasty can be important for preparation and to reduce anxiety. This surgery consists of several important steps.

1. In the first step, the surgeon examines the person’s facial structure and evaluates the necessary corrections to the face. Then he/she determines a suitable path.
2. The surgeon starts the surgery, which is usually performed under general anaesthesia, by making an incision in the mouth. In this way, the scars will not be visible.
3. If the jaw needs to be enlarged, implants can be placed, or if it needs to be reduced, excess bone can be removed. For procedures involving bone, the surgeon may cut and reposition the bone to improve the position.
4. The repositioned jawbone is fixed in place with the necessary materials (screws, plates, etc.).
5. In the last step, the surgeon closes the incision and ends the surgery.

How Does the Recovery Proceed After Mentoplasty?

The recovery period after this surgery varies according to the content of the procedure applied to the person. After the surgery, people will control the temporary pain that occurs with the help of painkillers. The swelling and bruises that occur afterwards are also extremely expected and valid for a temporary period.

At this point, cold presses can help reduce swelling and bruising. However, it is important to apply according to the surgeon’s instructions. After the second week, swelling and bruising are reduced and by the end of the second week, swelling is greatly reduced and most people can return to their daily routine.

Full recovery and best results become visible in about 5-6 weeks. However, minor swelling or oedema may persist for several months. These swellings also disappear over time. People should take care to get enough rest and avoid heavy activities in order to get good results and not to harm the healing process of the surgery.

Some tricks for a successful healing process and beautiful results after mentoplasty:

• Postoperative Instructions: It is extremely important to follow the surgeon’s postoperative care instructions to avoid complications.
• Cold Compress: It is possible to reduce postoperative swelling and bruising by using cold compresses as described by the surgeon.
• Maintaining Oral Hygiene: It is important to clean the mouth with prescribed or saline mouthwash to prevent infection in the intraoral exploration.
• Healthy Diet: A healthy and balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals gives the body the energy necessary for healing and allows the person to feel better.
• Keeping Your Head Elevated: Keeping the head elevated by supporting it with pillows while lying down or completely asleep also controls swelling.
• Avoiding Strenuous Activities and Exercises: The first weeks are the most sensitive periods in the healing process. It is useful to stay away from strenuous activities in order to prevent damage to the stitches and the process and to prevent disruption of healing.
• Preventing Water Loss: Consuming plenty of water is extremely important in reducing oedema and preventing water loss.
• Avoiding Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking prevents blood flow and negatively affects healing, while alcohol can increase swelling and oedema.
  These tricks ensure that the recovery after mentoplasty is smoother and faster, while contributing to successful results.
