Before Chin Surgery (Mentoplasty)

IMPORTANT

You must stop smoking for several weeks before and after the surgery, because smoking can interfere with healing.

During your first consultation, your doctor will ask you about your expectations, your general health and any specific conditions that might interfere with surgery. The doctor will:

  • Examine your facial structure, including skin texture and the underlying bone
  • Discuss how your face can be changed
  • Explain the details of the procedure
  • Develop a plan for surgery and recovery with you
The plan will include which techniques will be used (such as moving the bone or placing an implant for chin augmentation), where to make incisions so they’ll be inconspicuous, and the type of anesthesia.
