At COLSURGERIES, we accompany you through every step of your transformation, coordinating your procedure with certified plastic surgeons and providing you with warm and professional attention to achieve results that enhance your essence without exaggeration.

What is Mentoplasty?

Mentoplasty is a facial surgery that seeks to improve the shape, projection, or size of the chin, achieving a more balanced and symmetrical face.

It is ideal for those who wish to improve their lateral profile, soften the facial contour, or correct asymmetries.

This procedure is highly requested by men and women who feel that their chin is too small, retracted, or excessively prominent.

At COLSURGERIES, we coordinate your mentoplasty with certified plastic surgeons, who evaluate your bone structure, proportions, and goals to offer a personalized and natural solution that enhances your beauty without altering your essence.

How is it performed?

The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and its duration is approximately 1 to 2 hours.

There are two main types of mentoplasty:

Augmentation mentoplasty

A biocompatible silicone implant is placed or the chin bone is advanced using osteotomy to project and define it.

Reduction mentoplasty

A bone filing or reshaping is performed to reduce the volume of a prominent chin.

The incision can be made inside the mouth (without a visible scar) or under the chin, depending on the technique and the patient's anatomy.

At COLSURGERIES, we clearly explain each option during the medical evaluation so you can make informed, safe, and tailored decisions.

Mentoplasty - Recovery

Recovery is usually quick and manageable. The first few days may involve swelling in the chin, a feeling of tightness, or numbness, which progressively disappear.

A soft diet is recommended during the first few days, along with avoiding excessive talking and keeping your head elevated to reduce swelling.

La mayoría de los pacientes puede retomar sus actividades suaves entre los 5 y 7 días, y el resultado comienza a notarse entre la segunda y tercera semana.

El resultado final se consolida entre las 6 y 12 semanas, cuando el rostro ha sanado por completo.
