This plastic surgery is also known as mentoplasty, chin surgery seeks to correct a weak chin, bringing the lower part of the face more into balance.
Why choose chin implants?
Having a weak profile can be just as problematic as having an overly prominent one and many people find a weak chin or lack of facial contour impacts their overall appearance. Chin surgery or augmentation helps to bring proportion and definition to the face. Get in touch to learn more about our chin and jaw surgery.
There are other surgical and non-surgical procedures that can also be performed on the chin and jaw area, including dermal fillers. Dr Cotrufo can discuss the treatment(s) which may be best suited to your individual requirements.
Establishing good communication with your surgeon will help you to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible throughout the surgery process. This will begin to be put in place during your personal consultation when you will spend time with Dr Cotrufo discussing your individual circumstances.
As your surgery approaches, you may be asked to make some small lifestyle changes and asked to avoid particular activities and medications.
This may include:
If a general anaesthetic is to be used during surgery, you will need to follow fasting instructions given by the surgeon.
Once you have been released from the clinic you may want a friend or relative to drive you home.

Jaw augmentation, or mandibular augmentation, seeks to correct a small or aesthetically imbalanced mandible, bringing the lower part of the face more into balance.
The lower third of the face is dominated by the jawline. The jawline extends from one jaw angle around a chin to the other. It covers the largest surface area of any facial bone. The implants help enhance the front and back prominences of the jaw. The procedure is performed through incisions completely inside of the mouth, so there is no visible scarring.
Why choose jaw implants?
Jaw augmentation improves the appearance of jaws that may look out of balance with other facial features.
There are other surgical and non-surgical procedures that can also be performed on the chin and jaw area, including dermal fillers. Surgical alternatives to implants can also include fat transfer, where some fat is harvested from another part of the body and transferred to the area needing augmentation. A combination of chin and jaw angle implants can create a more complete jawline makeover. Dr Cotrufo can discuss the treatment(s) which may be best suited to your individual requirements, as he is an expert in chin and jaw surgery.
