Chinoplasty, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to correct the shape of the chin. This procedure can involve both the reduction of excess fat and the modification of the bones to achieve more harmonious facial proportions.

Chin plasty is often performed to improve the contour of the lower face, which can contribute to a younger and more balanced appearance. The procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures such as a facelift or liposuction of the neck.

Surgical chin plasty is an invasive procedure. It is carried out under general anaesthesia. It involves the need for scalpel incisions, which may contribute to scarring. After the procedure, you must follow the doctor's guidelines and instructions. You should usually stay at the plastic surgery clinic for 24 hours after the operation. After about seven days, the patient should visit a specialist to remove the stitches and change the dressings. The entire recovery period lasts between 14 and 21 days.

Chin plasty can involve both surgical and non-invasive methods. In the context of non-invasive solutions, chin plasty may involve techniques such as injection lipolysis or thermolifting.

Injection lipolysis involves the injection of substances that dissolve adipose tissue, leading to a fat reduction in the chin area.

Thermolifting, on the other hand, stimulates collagen production, improving skin tone in the area. Thanks to these methods, it is possible to facial contouring and the reduction of the so-called 'second chin' without the need for surgical intervention.
