Plastic surgery of the male chin

Mentoplasty

By no means not for everyone a “strong-willed” chin is a sign of strength of mind and firmness of a person. If you are unhappy with the shape of your chin, plastic surgery will help you. Plastic surgery of the male chin will increase or decrease the volume of the chin. Surgery is mainly carried out for medical reasons.

Indications for chin plastic surgery for men

Chin surgery is indicated for:

• Reconstruction of the face after injuries or accidents.
• Correction of defects that are caused by congenital anomalies in the development of bone tissue.
• Improvement of the form, if, for example, there is a disproportion.

Also, this option will be needed in cases where anatomical features become an obstacle to normal life. These are, first of all, problems with diction and with chewing food.

The choice of one or another option for chin plastics depends on the goal and the desired result. For example, lipofilling is used to slightly increase the chin. For more complex cases, implantation may be required.

Chin plastics should be entrusted to real professionals in their field. Thus, you can not only reduce the risk of complications, but also get the desired result.

Varieties of male chin plastic surgery

• Chin reduction

Purpose: to reduce a protruding and heavy chin.

Features: in the process of chin reduction, bones are transformed. But, at the same time, the skin flap obtained in the process of horizontal osteotomy is shifted back. Thus, the chin becomes less visible. Tissues are held together using mini-plates or screws. After the bones are completely healed, the metal parts are removed.

If it is necessary to significantly reduce the chin, part of the bone tissue must be completely removed. This type of chin plasty requires careful modelling, as well as the formation of a natural face contour.

• Chin augmentation

Purpose: correction of an underdeveloped chin.

Features: at the heart of the surgical intervention – several ways.

• Osteoplastic correction

The essence of the surgical intervention consists in cutting off the protruding part of the lower jaw (we are talking about a horizontal osteotomy). After cutting, the jaw is fixed in a new position. For added strength, the separated fragment is secured with screws using a plate.

Bone tissue in the process of movement remains associated with the muscles, thus, the risk of atrophy is reduced to zero, and the result obtained remains for a long time.

If the size of the displaced bone fragment is not enough, contour plastic is additionally performed (the space that remains is filled with the patient’s own adipose tissue).

• Correction with implants.

Depending on the state of the soft tissues, they are inserted directly into the prepared soft tissue pocket or on the bone.

For this, the following types of implants are used:

1. Silicone inserts, perforated or solid.
2. Bioimplants made from the patient’s own cartilage (costal, ear, etc.).
3. Porous implants, silicone free. They are very similar to the structure of corals. They easily take root, are fixed by tissues due to the fact that they grow inward.

• Removal of a double chin

This defect is a consequence of an excess of adipose tissue in combination with sagging muscles of soft tissue structures.

To get rid of a double chin, muscle correction and non-surgical liposuction are used.

• Cavitation (non-surgical liposuction)

The impact is carried out on the tissue from the outside using ultrasound waves. As a result, fat is excreted on its own.

• Muscle correction

In order to achieve a graceful contour, after the elimination of the fat cushion, the muscles are tightened. Depending on the age, a platysma lift or a thread lift is performed. If we are talking about the age group 45+, the sagging tissues are removed.

• Surgical liposuction

After liposuction, the crushed fat cells are sucked out using a special cannula that is inserted into the tissue incisions.

The duration of the surgical intervention in the clinic of Andrey Kharkov is within 60 minutes.

Rehabilitation period

At first, after  the surgery, there may be severe pain, skin numbness, tissue swelling.

During the first day, the patient stays in the hospital of the clinic of Andrey Kharkov, after which the rehabilitation process continues at home.

The stitches are not removed after the operation; a special fixation bandage should be worn for 3-5 days. The main stage of the rehabilitation period is 10-12 days.

General rules for this period: physical activity should be limited; visits to baths, saunas, solarium are banned.

1. Oncology.
2. Problems with the heart and blood vessels.
