Mentoplasty is an aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgical procedure indicated for the correction of chin shape, size, and position.

This procedure may involve:

• Chin augmentation to enhance projection.

• Chin reduction to improve proportional balance.

The procedure involves:

• Modification of chin structure to achieve optimal alignment with the lower face and jawline.

This approach allows for:

• Improvement in facial proportions and profile harmony.

• Enhancement of chin symmetry and definition.

Treatment planning is individualized to ensure:

• Procedural safety and precision.

• Natural-looking and stable long-term results.

Mentoplasty – Postoperative Recovery and Travel Recommendations

Following mentoplasty, patients may experience:

• Postoperative edema and ecchymosis during the initial 2–3 weeks.

• Temporary limitation of daily activities.

Clinical course:

• Gradual improvement over 4–6 weeks as healing progresses.

Postoperative recommendations include:

• Remaining in the country for at least 10–14 days following surgery.

• Avoidance of air travel and short-distance travel (up to 3 hours) during this period.

For extended travel:

• Journeys exceeding 4–6 hours should be postponed for at least 21 days.

• This recommendation is intended to support proper recovery and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
