What is a genioplasty?

Chin augmentation or genioplasty in Turkey is a surgical procedure that reshapes the chin by removing malformed bones, placing implants or moving the chin bone. People who want a more defined face can benefit from this procedure. The results are permanent, but in some cases the implant may need to be replaced over time. The implant used can be made of a variety of materials, from real bone to silicone.

Many patients choose to combine their chin surgery with other cosmetic operations such as rhinoplasty or facial rejuvenation. Similarly, some dental operations can be carried out in conjunction with chin augmentation.

Before genioplasty in Istanbul

The surgeon will review the patient’s medical history and ask about any previous medical conditions and treatments. The surgeon in Turkey and the patient will discuss the desired result and plan the operation to achieve a satisfactory outcome. The genioplasty procedure in Turkey, possible results and options will be explained to the patient.

During genioplasty in Turkey

Depending on the case, the surgeon cuts inside or outside the mouth and prepares an area for the implant under the muscle tissue. Once the implant has been placed, it is often fixed to the chin bone using screws or stitches. If the bone needs to be removed, the surgeon cuts the jawbone, removes the excess pieces and secures the bone by wiring or screwing it in place.

After genioplasty in Turkey

As the operation is performed inside the mouth most of the time, there are no visible scars. The operation requires hospitalisation for 0 to 1 day. For the first 3 days, the patient will have special dressings to help reduce swelling and support the new shape. A liquid diet must be followed until the stitches are removed, and patients are recommended to stay in Istanbul for 5 to 7 days.

For the first few days, the area may be tender and activities such as talking, eating and smiling may be difficult. Within 7 to 10 days, the symptoms should subside and patients will be able to resume their daily lives. However, it takes a month for the real results to become visible due to swelling of the area.
