Chin Augmentation (Mentoplasty)

Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the chin. This procedure can improve facial balance and create a more harmonious profile by bringing the chin into better proportion with other facial features.

Chin Augmentation (Mentoplasty) at Dr. Maresky's practice typically ranges from R55,000 to R70,000, depending on your specific needs and goals. Final pricing is always confirmed during your consultation, once Dr. Maresky has assessed your individual case.

Factors that influence the cost:

Chin augmentation can be performed using implants or by reshaping the existing bone. The surgeon makes a small incision either inside the mouth or under the chin to place the implant or modify the bone structure.

Recovery from chin augmentation typically takes 1-2 weeks. Patients may experience swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week.

Chin augmentation provides permanent results that can significantly improve facial harmony and boost self-confidence by creating better facial proportions.
