Preoperative
In order for you to undergo a mentoplasty with total safety, we must assess your general condition based on your possible drug and environmental allergies, personal and family pathological history, habitual and past medication, possible previous surgical interventions, toxic habits (tobacco), accidents, etc.
Since it is performed under general anesthesia, it is also necessary to have a general analysis, chest x-ray and electrocardiogram. With this study, the patient is visited by an anesthesiologist who will verify the results, as well as solve any doubts.
At Guadalupe González Clinic we will also take preoperative photographs, which will help us before, during and after chin surgery.
Surgical technique
Mentoplasty is performed in an operating room with general anesthesia, depending on each patient. It usually lasts approximately 2 hours, depending on the technique required for each case: open or closed (percutaneous). The reshaping of the chin can be to increase its volume or to reduce those too prominent chins. In both techniques, different surgical maneuvers can be performed.
POSTOPERATIVE
The first 24 hours, hospital admission to the clinic is recommended. As a “bandage” a chin guard is placed on the chin. During the admission you will receive treatment with analgesics-anti-inflammatories and intravenous antibiotics until you tolerate the oral diet.
During the first days after the mentoplasty, the adjacent areas are swollen and bruised, but as time passes they disappear spontaneously.
