Mentoplasty
Chin augmentation is an operation that can change a person's profile by bringing out the chin or can give a more balanced look to the overall face. Dr. Joseph can choose a specific type and shape of implant to achieve the best possible result. If the problem is reducing the chin which involves removing excess bone or adjusting a severe overbite or underbite than a consultation with a oral or maxillofacial surgeon may be necessary.

Following chin augmentation surgery the patient returns in approximately 7 days for suture removal. The surgery is performed at Brighton Medical Corporation, a certified out-patient surgical center . This procedure can be done under a light intravenous sedation but may be done under general anesthesia. The patient is required to have a competent adult pick them up from the surgical center and stay with them the first night. Surgical fees, pre-operative and post-operative instructions are given at the time of the consultation and the patient is responsible for reading these instructions thoroughly prior to surgery.
