Modified Reduction Genioplasty with Mentalis Depression Correction
A young woman’s quest for a refined facial profile led her to Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, a renowned center for facial cosmetic surgery. Plagued by a prominent chin and an excessive mentalis depression, she sought a solution to restore harmony to her features.
During a thorough consultation, the patient expressed her desire for a more feminine chin, as she felt her lower jaw had a masculine appearance. The mentalis depression, a deep crease below the chin, further accentuated the disproportionate facial structure.
Our experienced facial cosmetic surgeon meticulously examined the patient’s facial structure and developed a comprehensive treatment plan. The plan included a modified reduction genioplasty to reshape the chin and a novel approach to address the mentalis depression.
The genioplasty procedure involved removing a 6 mm strip of bone from the chin region. This carefully measured bone removal refined the chin’s shape, creating a more delicate and feminine profile.
The removed bone strip was then meticulously sculpted and positioned to fill the mentalis depression. This innovative technique effectively eliminated the crease, restoring a smooth and aesthetically pleasing contour to the chin area.
The patient emerged from the surgery with a transformed facial profile. The modified reduction genioplasty had successfully feminized her chin, while the correction of the mentalis depression enhanced her overall facial aesthetics. The hyperactivity of the mentalis muscle, a contributing factor to the deep crease, was also completely resolved.

Our team of experienced surgeons and dedicated staff is committed to providing personalized care and achieving exceptional results for every patient.
