Mentoplasty, also known as chin surgery and genioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves reshaping or augmenting the chin. It can be achieved through various techniques, such as chin reduction or chin augmentation. The goal of mentoplasty is to enhance the balance and harmony of facial features by improving the size, shape, or projection of the chin.

Mentoplasty works through various surgical techniques depending on the cosmetic goals of the procedure:

• Chin Augmentation: Chin augmentation is performed in case of a recessed or underdeveloped chin. Typically, the surgeon uses implants or bone advancement techniques to increase the projection and create a more balanced profile.
• Chin Reduction: Chin reduction surgery is for those with the dreaded double chin. Here, the surgeon may remove excess bone and reshape the existing bone to engineer a more harmonious facial appearance.
•  

The surgical approach chosen depends on the patient's anatomy and desired cosmetic results. 

Mentoplasty is suitable for individuals who:

• Have a recessed or weak chin.
• Desire a more defined and balanced facial profile.
• Are unhappy with the size or shape of their chin.
• Wish to treat asymmetry or congenital deformities affecting the chin.
