Chin Implant (Mentoplasty) for men

Chin implants come in different shapes and qualities e.g. Silicone or Medpor; implant type and size will be chosen at the time of pre-surgical appointment.  During surgery, the patient is under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia in the operating room.

An incision will be done either on mandibular rim or inside the mouth according to conditions; then implant is placed in a pocket like space over the jaw bone, after that incision is closed. Surgery takes about one hour.

After this outpatient surgery there may be swelling or bruising, often times tape is applied to cover patient’s chin for a few days.  Regarding nutrition, the patient should only have soft foods for a week.
