Chin and jaw enlargement surgery with prosthesis
English subtitled video
The chin and jaw enlargement surgery with prosthesis treatment at Clínica Sanza in Barcelona, Spain, consists of placing a prosthesis in the mandibular area. The material does not cause immunological reaction and integrates into the tissues naturally. This way, the projection of the chin, mandibular angles and/or the entire mandibular area is increased as required.
Once in place, the result is permanent, it is never lost and the profile of the face is defined in a very stylised way.
WHERE DO WE OPERATE?
At Clínica Sanza we rely on the Sagrat Cor Hospital, part of the Quirónsalud group, to perform our surgical procedures.
Its prestige, facilities, medical and healthcare staff, as well as its technology are a guarantee.

PATIENT’S PROFILE
People with an unharmonious facial structure, lack of chin or atrophy of the lower facial third.
Men who wish to accentuate masculine mandibular features.
PROCEDURE
The prosthesis is molded to fit the structure of the patient and is placed in two ways: one, through a small incision below the chin, which is practically imperceptible, and the other, through the union of the lip and the Gum, inside the mouth.
Although each person has a different bone constitution, we can modify it with these prostheses that will integrate and reinforce the lower mandibular bone, so that they can obtain a greater resistance to aging and flaccidity.
