Chin Aesthetics

Chin Aesthetics: Define Your Facial Contours 

Chin aesthetics is a cosmetic surgical procedure applied to correct chin deformities caused by genetic or acquired factors. A long, short, small, or large chin can significantly impact overall facial aesthetics. In cases where the chin is small, a corrective operation can be performed using the patient's own fat tissue or with the use of a prosthesis. 

• Fat Injection: Chin aesthetics can be achieved through fat injection. This procedure is applied on the skin surface and takes about an hour under local or general anesthesia. You can be discharged a few hours after the surgery, and early swelling and edema will decrease over time. 

• Chin Prosthesis: Chin aesthetics can also be accomplished using a chin prosthesis. In this method, the prosthesis is placed through the mouth, leaving no external scars. A liquid and soft diet is recommended for 6 days after the operation, and attention should be paid to oral hygiene and gargling during the healing process. 

• Chin Reduction Surgery: Chin reduction surgery involves removing excess tissue and reshaping the chin. This approximately 1-1.5-hour procedure under general anesthesia uses incisions made inside the mouth to access the bone structure and perform genioplasty. Plaques and screws can be used to reshape the chin. It is recommended to stay overnight in the hospital after the operation. In the early stages, mild tension in the chin, swelling, and a tingling sensation that can be alleviated with painkillers may occur. Sleeping with the head elevated and applying cold compresses are recommended for swelling and bruising. Solid food should not be consumed for 10 days after the operation, avoiding chewing, and focusing on liquid, soft, and warm foods. With the guidance of a professional surgical team, a healthy recovery process can be achieved during this period.
