Mentoplasty, genioplasty or chin surgery

In addition to the nose and forehead, the chin is one of the three parts that most define the face of a person from an aesthetic point of view, as it marks a point of reference and breaks the transition between face and neck.

Mentoplasty or chin surgery is a quick and simple surgical procedure that offers incredible aesthetic results. From a small intraoral incision, the chin bone is approached and the surgeon makes the necessary movements to harmonize the patient’s face. This is also called a bony genioplasty.

At Maxillos we not only move the chin or chin according to the patient’s wishes, we also work on the shape and size of the chin and guarantee the best aesthetic and functional results in a minimally invasive and comfortable way.
