What Is a Chin Lift?

There are several different Plastic Surgery procedures that people often use as Chin Lift (Mentum or Gonium Lift).

Many people refer to the lower face and neck as chin and use this term when they want to tighten the lower face. What many say when they say this term is:

· Implants

· Genioplasty

· Mentoplasty

· Necklift (Platysmaplasty,) Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

· Double Chin Correction

· Magician Correction

Let me discuss each of the above procedures and explain how each can be referred to as Chin Lift:

· Implant, Genioplasty, or Mentoplasty - this refers to the synthetic implants of Mentum through the slit in the lower lip or through the outer skin slice under Mentum. People with Microgenia, small or weak chin, often ask for this procedure and refer to it as an elevator. Implants are also often used during Rhinoplasty (Nose) to improve the rest of the facial profile or side view. Lastly, many implants are placed during Rytidectomy or Platysmaplasty to improve the length of the jaw.

· Platysmaplasty or Rhytidectomy - during drowning or falling facial tissue and skin loss. This is usually most pronounced at the bottom or lower jaw. Rhytidectomy surgery tightens the skin and Platysmaplasty tightens the neck. This procedure is often referred to by the patient as Chin lifter.

· Double Chin Correction - Many people who seek to improve this problem can benefit from prolonging the jaw line by Genioplasty. Some require Platysmaplasty, some can benefit from Liposuction Assisted Laser Neck.

· Chin Witches Correction - when we turn the skin on Mentum or Gonium we fall down. From the point of view Mentum pointed towards the floor. This term refers to the cartoon character Broom Hilda and other pictures of Witches' that show this anatomical feature in profile or side view.

What Kind of Chin Lift Do You Need?

· Implant or Genioplast - if you have Microgenia or if you have a large nose that overcomes your face, then Genioplasty alone or combined with Rhinoplasty will be best for you.

· Rhytidectomy or Platysmaplasty - if your main problem is lower facial skin or Chin Witches, Rhytidectomy or Platysmaplasty with or without Chin Implant is required.

· Laser Liposuction Assisted - most people with double chin can benefit from Liposuction Assisted Laser. In some people Platysmaplasty is also required, although acceptable skin tightening can be achieved in most people with Laser Liposuction.
