A short incision under the chin or inside the mouth allows the surgeon to place a chin implant directly on the bone.

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.

Chin surgery most often involves the use of an implant which rest on the chin bone, to create a natural enhancement. The procedure can be performed from under the chin or through the mouth.
