The ideal chin should observe a positioning within certain aesthetic limits, forming a harmonic set with other parts of the face such as the nose, eyes and mouth. It may be situated in a more advanced or more retracted position. For both cases there are surgical corrections.
The most common mentoplasty is the one that aims to correct the retroposition (retracted chin), by the inclusion of a silicone prosthesis in the ment. Hardly a patient seeks the specific surgery of the chin, because, alone, the contribution of this procedure to the beauty and harmony of the face is not perceived. However, mentoplasty can provide a beautiful result.
