1. What are the two types of mentoplasty?
There are two main types: chin augmentation (adding volume with implants or bone advancement) and chin reduction (removing excess bone to reshape a prominent chin).
2. How long does mentoplasty recovery take?
Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks, though swelling may take several weeks to fully subside. Results become more visible as healing progresses.
3. Is mentoplasty permanent?
Yes, the results of mentoplasty are typically long-lasting or permanent, especially when bone is reshaped. Implant-based procedures also offer durable outcomes when done correctly.
