Mentoplasty (Chin/Jowl or Prejowl Implant) used to reconstruct the chin and/or jowl area to correct a receding or small chin and improve the jawline. This procedure is done to create a better profile and correct the aging or genetically defective face. Some people desire chin augmentation and jowl reconstruction alone for a receding or weak chin or in conjunction with a Facial J-Lift.

The implant is inserted through a small incision in the natural crease under the chin. The permanent medical grade solid, alloplastic, silicone implant is then placed adjacent to the bone under the skin and soft tissue to give a natural softness and contour. The implant itself is firm in consistency; the aim is to improve bone contours underneath the soft tissue.
