Mentoplasty
Intervention
ICD-9-CM	76.68

Mentoplasty is a term that refers to plastic surgery procedures for the chin. It comes from the Latin word mentum, which means chin, and the Greek verb plassein, which means "to form" or "to shape." Mentoplasty is also known as genioplasty, though mentoplasty is often used to refer to chin reduction, usually by means of bone burring.
