This study presents a simple mentoplasty technique using polypropylene mesh to improve chin projection and facial balance. The procedure is safe, effective, and can be combined with rhinoplasty.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Augmentation mentoplasty corrects chin retrusion (microgenia) using alloplastic materials.
  • Achieving a balanced facial profile is a key goal of mentoplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a simple mentoplasty technique using polypropylene mesh.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique, including its combination with rhinoplasty.
  • To explore potential causes of infection and the rationale for using polypropylene mesh.

Main Methods:

  • A series of 192 patients underwent augmentation mentoplasty using polypropylene mesh.
  • The technique was designed for ease of use and potential combination with rhinoplasty.

Main Results:

  • The study details a straightforward mentoplasty procedure using readily available polypropylene mesh.
  • The technique aims to enhance chin projection and facial aesthetics.

Conclusions:

  • Polypropylene mesh offers a viable and accessible option for augmentation mentoplasty.
  • The described technique is simple, potentially combinable with rhinoplasty, and warrants further investigation into infection causes.
