Enhance your profile with mentoplasty

The profile is very important and, even if our attention is often turned to the nose, forehead and chin are important areas to take into account in order to have a harmonious face. Those who rely on surgery to change their chin know something about it, through a plastic surgery called mentoplasty .
This intervention can be reductive , in the case of a pronounced chin, or additive , generally with the use of a silicone prosthesis. It is also possible to contact the surgeon to change the mandibular angle, in order, for example, to correct a crooked or receding chin. In general, this last remodeling intervention is especially requested by men, who want to correct their profile with a more strong-willed and less elusive chin.

In general, the operation can also be associated with a remodeling of the cheekbones , in order to be able to act on the profile in a complete way. This surgery is called malaroplasty .
In short, you can turn to the surgeon both to eliminate the defects of the chin with mentoplasty and the defects of the whole profile, complete cheekbones, with a profiloplasty on different areas of intervention, including cheekbones, chin and jaw.
Let’s see more precisely what mentoplasty consists of and what the costs are

First of all we are talking about a minimally invasive intervention, with local anesthesia, in an outpatient setting and with a recovery of the patient of a week / ten days at most. The modified appearance is obviously visible immediately, but the profile will be completely fixed and free from swelling in one or two months. The scars are minimal. In the case of reductive mentoplasty, the bone is modeled, while the insertion of a prosthesis is required for mandibular correction , which requires total sedation and hospitalization. Certainly the correction of the mandibular angle is the most serious intervention of the profiloplasty, but it is also possible that the intervention requires a simple correction with fillers: in this case no hospitalization or invasiveness. Given the range of possible interventions, the cost of a mentoplasty varies from two thousand to four thousand euros , while a profiloplasty intervention has much higher costs.
