Mentoplasty

In some patients the jaw area can appear to be receded.

A simple procedure with local anesthesia can be done to help enhance this area. With this technique, a small silicon implant is positioned at the gum level trough a small incision inside the mouth. In case of a major defect, the chin implant can be expanded to the jaw area; the incision can also be made at the submentum crease leaving a hidden and hardly detectable scar. In some cases, instead of an implant a medical grade substance (e.g. own fat or fillings) can be injected to fill this area.
