Genioplasty, or mentoplasty, redefines the chin by placing an implant to harmoniously rebalance your face. Indicated when the chin lacks projection, this cosmetic procedure rebalances and refines the profile. At Dr. Geneviève Mercier-Couture's clinic, your morphology is assessed during a personalized consultation, then you are guided from the pre-operative assessment to the post-operative follow-up, guaranteeing safety, comfort and natural results.
What is genioplasty?
Genioplasty, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgery that involves adding an implant to the chin. Specifically, genioplasty involves making a small lower skin incision. The chin implant is inserted in front of the chin bone and then secured with screws for a lasting effect. Other procedures can also redefine the chin when it is asymmetrical or too prominent. Dr. Mercier-Couture will guide you according to your needs and advise you on the best surgery, whether it be genioplasty, mentoplasty, or other plastic procedures.
Genioplasty: the advantages of the procedure
The chin plays a significant role in facial harmony, balance, and structure. A receding chin, for example, can make the nose appear fuller. Genioplasty increases the volume of the chin, thereby eliminating the impression that other features are dominant. Performed under local anesthesia, genioplasty is a quick procedure that delivers stunning results.
