Through mentoplasty, patients achieve clear facial contours, improve their profile, and eliminate the “double chin” effect. This is not only an aesthetic but also a psychologically important change, as harmonious facial features increase self-confidence.
Types of Chin Surgery
Surgeon Oleksiy Shkirenko masters a wide range of chin correction techniques, allowing for individual and aesthetically perfect results.
- Genioplasty
This technique involves changing the position of the chin bone tissue by cutting the bone and repositioning it. It is used to reduce or increase the size of the chin. - Chin Contouring
A non-surgical method of chin shape correction through filler injections. Suitable for eliminating minor defects and creating clear contours. - Chin Liposuction
Helps eliminate localized fat deposits in the chin area, providing a more refined profile. - Chin Lift
Surgery aimed at removing excess skin and restoring clear facial contours. - Chin Dimple Correction
Procedure for patients who want to eliminate a natural dimple or, conversely, enhance it.

Mentoplasty Surgery
- Preparation for Surgery
During consultation, the doctor analyzes facial proportions, taking into account the patient’s wishes. Necessary tests and diagnostics are performed to exclude contraindications. The surgeon develops an individual surgical plan. - Surgical Process
The operation can last from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the chosen technique. In the case of genioplasty, the surgeon makes an incision in the oral cavity or under the chin to access the bone. For chin contouring or liposuction, the intervention is minimal. All sutures are applied using modern materials, ensuring their invisibility. - Recovery After Mentoplasty
After surgery, the patient wears a special fixation bandage for 7-10 days. Swelling and mild discomfort disappear within 10-14 days. The final result can be evaluated after 1-2 months.
