Correcting chin and cheekbones with mentoplasty and malaroplasty:
a choice for facial harmony<\/small><\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

The shape and size of the chin and cheekbones greatly influence facial harmony.<\/strong> A face with flat or underdeveloped cheekbones and cheeks can look less defined and less attractive.<\/p>\r\n

Enhancing cheekbone and mid-face projection can give a flat or hollow face a more youthful appearance. Likewise, increasing the projection of a short, retrusive chin can make the face more balanced and attractive.<\/strong> This type of correction can also reduce the perceived prominence of a slightly over-projected nose. The profile is defined by the relationship among the forehead, nose, and chin: when the chin is retrusive, even a nose only slightly larger than average can appear markedly more prominent.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

How chin and cheekbone implants are made<\/h2>\r\n

Modern implants have highly anatomical shapes, allowing precise customization of the final result.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Depending on the goals, the most suitable implant can be selected to achieve a natural, pleasing outcome. Implants come in various sizes to appropriately correct an underdeveloped chin (mentoplasty) in each case. Similarly, when indicated, they can be used to enhance underdefined cheekbones (malaroplasty).<\/p>\r\n

Implants are made of highly biocompatible materials<\/strong> that correct contour deficiencies in a very natural way.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n

How mentoplasty and malaroplasty are performed<\/h2>\r\n

These procedures typically do not cause significant postoperative pain and may be performed alone or combined with other facial surgeries<\/strong> such as facelift, rhinoplasty, or blepharoplasty.
Scars are discreet,<\/strong> as they are concealed within natural skin folds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Mentoplasty<\/h3>\r\n

A small incision is made either inside the lower lip mucosa or on the skin just beneath the chin crease.<\/strong> The implant is placed in a subperiosteal pocket\u2014beneath the membrane covering the bone (periosteum)\u2014in direct contact with the bone, where it stabilizes permanently. The result looks and feels completely natural.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Malaroplasty<\/h3>\r\n

The approach is similar for cheekbones, using an incision along the lower eyelid lash line (ciliary margin) or from inside the mouth.<\/strong> If performed together with a facelift or blepharoplasty, the access incisions from those procedures can be used.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Type of anesthesia<\/h3>\r\n

According to patient preference, both procedures can be performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis, or under general anesthesia with one day of hospitalization.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n
