Facial Cosmetic Surgery
Mentoplasty
Mentoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that modifies the shape and volume of the chin to balance the facial profile. It can augment a receding chin with an implant or reduce a prominent chin. At Nobel Clinic Istanbul, this procedure is often combined with rhinoplasty (profiloplasty) for optimal facial harmony.
