Recovery & Aftercare (Managed by iMedara)

Patients typically remain in Colombia for 10–14 days after chin, cheek, or genioplasty surgery to ensure proper healing and follow-up evaluation.

 

Early recovery focuses on rest, head elevation, and gentle mobility to reduce swelling and support circulation. A soft diet may be recommended, and strenuous activity or facial strain should be avoided.

Scientific Foundation

Each procedure has a distinct purpose and medical name:

 

  • Mentoplasty: Cosmetic chin enhancement using a custom implant.
  • Malar Augmentation: Cheekbone enhancement to restore structure and volume.
  • Genioplasty: Bone reshaping of the chin (via sliding osteotomy) for structural correction and precise proportioning.

 

Together, these techniques allow our surgeons to design a facial contour that’s harmonious from every angle;  blending aesthetic refinement with anatomical integrity.

How It’s Performed

Depending on your goals, these procedures can be performed individually or in combination. They are typically done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and last 1–2 hours.

Chin Augmentation (Mentoplasty)

 

A small incision inside the mouth or under the chin allows the surgeon to place a biocompatible silicone or porous implant.

 

This enhances projection and jawline definition, improving the harmony between the chin, nose, and neck for a more confident profile.

Alternatively, fat grafting may be used to achieve a softer, organic enhancement.

 

Cheek Augmentation (Malar Enhancement)

 

This procedure restores structure, lift, and youthful contour to the midface.

Through discreet incisions hidden inside the mouth or along the lower eyelid, implants or purified fat are placed to accentuate the cheekbones and rejuvenate the overall facial architecture.

 

The goal: natural curves, graceful definition, and symmetry never exaggeration.

Genioplasty (Chin Bone Reshaping)

 

For patients who require more than volume enhancement, genioplasty offers true skeletal refinement.

 

During this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth, reshapes or repositions the chin bone (mandibular symphysis), and secures it with tiny titanium plates.

 

This allows for complete control over the chin’s projection, height, and alignment, correcting receded, asymmetric, or overly prominent chins.

Because it works with your natural bone, the results are structural, stable, and permanent delivering harmony that lasts a lifetime.
