Turkish chin surgery is a cosmetic surgical operation which improves the harmony of the face, mainly in terms of lower face proportions. If the patient’s chin is too small, a professional plastic surgeon can perform augmentation using implants. If the chin is too large, bone contouring can be used to reduce it.

Skilled surgeons attempt to obtain harmonious and natural outcomes by designing an individualized surgery plan for each patient’s facial structure in Yaman Surgical Medical Center.

Mentoplasty or genioplasty are aesthetic interventions and also serve as life transformation processes that increase self-confidence.

Let’s discuss chin aesthetics steps, recovery, and cost facts in details.

What is Chin Surgery?

Chin reshaping, or mentoplasty, is a common surgical procedure that alters the size and shape of the chin in relation to the rest of the face for the patient.

In this cosmetic surgery, a chin implant is placed based on the patient’s desire for augmentation. Alternatively, if the patient desires a smaller chin, re-contouring may be performed to reduce the bone size.

The operation is carried out under general anaesthetic and requires the surgeon to make small incisions within the mouth to minimize scarring.

Our clinic located in Istanbul utilizes the latest 3D planning systems, meaning that the surgeon can accurately plan and measure the chin/face ratio and then give a simulated representation of what it might look like for the patient to preview before the surgery is even completed.

Chin Implant Surgery

Facial chin augmentation is ideal for people who would like to balance their facial looks and achieve a natural jaw. Our experts at Yaman Surgical Medical Center choose the most suitable implant for each patient’s facial feature. The implants we use are biocompatible, minimizing the risk of rejection by the body.

The patient is generally operated on by making a small cut inside the mouth and placing the implant directly into the chin bone. This way, there is a clearer aesthetic line of the chin without the formation of visible outer scars. Patients may experience slight swelling or tightness during the first few days after surgery, but only briefly.

Sliding Genioplasty

Chin surgery in Turkey is not just done for enlargening, but also for shortening or sliding the chin. During a sliding genioplasty procedure, the doctor can make an incision on the chin bone and slides it forward / backwards / or down, depending on where a correction is needed. This method permanently improves facial proportions.

Care Tips After Chin Aesthetics

Following mentoplasty, patients achieve a more defined facial profile. However, there are several post-surgery care procedures to undergo:

• Adhere to all the surgeon’s instructions.
• Apply cold compresses frequently to reduce swelling.
• Sleep with the head in a high position.
• No hard food for the first couple of weeks.
• Good oral hygiene, rinse with salt water slowly & gently.
• You should avoid alcohol and cigarettes for a certain period before and after the surgery.

If you follow the instructions listed above, you will have a comfortable and complication-free recovery. Our expert healthcare staff will carefully monitor your post-operative progress.

Take Advantage of Combining Mentoplasty with Other Facial Surgeries

For maximum facial balance, esthetic chin reshaping is combined with other procedures like rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) or cheekbone re-contouring. With the combination, the facial silhouette is harmoniously balanced.

We conduct combined face procedures safely at Yaman Surgical Medical Center by our expert surgeons. Especially the combination of rhinoplasty + chin surgery harmonizes the upper and lower face elements for a more beautiful appearance.

Advantages of combined surgeries:

• Achieve multiple aesthetic objectives within one recovery period
• Enhanced facial balance and harmony
• Harmonious and natural appearance
• Long-term, permanent results

Planning these procedures together provides a holistic approach to aesthetic transformation. At our Istanbul healthcare facility, surgical plans are customized to each patient’s needs.

Price of Chin Surgery in Turkey

Along with the variation of mentoplasty costs in terms of procedure choice, physician skill, and the facility, Turkey has the added advantage of comparatively lower care costs with advanced medical standards compared to the United States and Europe. Our hospital is committed to creating high-quality opportunities for care for our international patients.

If we were to make an average price comparison by country, let’s say this: While the cost of chin surgery in Turkey is $2,800 – $3,800, the cost of metoplasty in the United States is between $8,000 – $10,000. The cost of a chin implant in the UK is $6,000 – $8,000.

As can be seen here, the costs of esthetic chin reshaping in Turkey are lower than elsewhere but of equal quality. This thus makes Turkey a center worthy of consideration in aesthetic surgery tourism.
