Enhancing Your Natural Beauty
Mentoplasty ( Chin Surgery)
If you believe that your chin is misshapen, appears too large or small, or is receding, mentoplasty surgery may restore harmony to your face. Dr. Thomas can surgically reshape your chin to balance your profile by either inserting an implant, moving your chin bone forward, or by reducing its prominence. For added overall facial balance, Dr. Thomas may suggest that you consider nasal surgery along with chin surgery to achieve optimal results.
Procedure
If you feel you have a receding chin, Dr. Thomas can augment it by inserting an implant made of synthetic material. Chin implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so the right implant can be chosen for your face. Dr. Thomas can also remove any excess fatty tissue in the chin and neck area with liposuction.
Preparation:
Post Surgery:
To expedite healing and minimize discomfort, please follow Dr. Thomas's explicit directions. You should keep your head elevated and avoid some activities after surgery.
