Mentoplasty is a medical procedure that allows you to correct the shape, size, or improve the jawline. It is carried out both operatively and non-operatively. Basically, those who are dissatisfied with its appearance resort to changing the chin. For medicinal purposes, such operations are extremely rare. Among foreign and domestic stars, mentoplasty is one of the most popular procedures. For example, singer Iggy Azalea claims that she was satisfied with the results of the operation, but the girl's fans think differently.
Mentoplasty can be divided into three categories. 1. Increasing. The operation is performed by a surgeon, and special implants (silicone or from the cartilage of the nose or auricle) are used to increase the chin. During the procedure, a small incision is made, where the implant is inserted. Most often, chin augmentation is done for men.

2. Reducing. During the operation, a part of the patient's bone is removed, after which the parts seem to close together. If necessary, the doctor may resort to liposuction and tighten the skin.

3. Contour. It is used to easily change the appearance of the chin. No surgery is required. This mainly includes liposuction and tightening of weakened or deformed cervical muscles. In order to fill the defects in the chin area, own adipose tissue or fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used.
After mentoplasty, no scars remain, and implants are invisible to the people around. The procedure is quite rare, but most surgeons find it fairly straightforward. It is worth noting that there is a danger of the implant slipping. For example, from a strong blow or bruise.
