What is Chin Aesthetics?

Chin aesthetics, also known medically as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct the shape and structure of the chin. This procedure is performed to balance the chin in harmony with the face, improve the profile and ensure the integrity of facial aesthetics. Chin aesthetics can be used to define the jawline, move the chin tip forward or back, and correct asymmetrical jaw structure. This procedure can also correct jaw deformities that are congenital or occur due to accidents.

Who Can Undergo Chin Aesthetics?

Chin aesthetics is usually applied to people who experience one of the following conditions:

Microcephaly (Small Jaw) or Macrocephaly (Large Jaw): To correct structural problems present at birth.

Asymmetrical Chin: To make the jaw structure symmetrical.

Chin Protrusion or Retraction: To move the tip of the chin forward or backward.

Defining the Jaw Lines: To obtain an aesthetic facial profile.

Post-Traumatic Jaw Deformities: To correct jaw deformities caused by accidents.

How is Chin Aesthetics Performed?

Chin aesthetics is a surgical operation that is customized according to the patient’s wishes and needs. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours. Dr. Ümit Hardal creates the surgical plan by evaluating the patient’s jaw structure and facial shape.

Surgical Procedure: The jawbone is cut during the surgical procedure and, if necessary, a prosthesis or implant is used to correct the jawline. Special interventions such as moving the chin tip forward or back and correcting asymmetry may be performed.

Incisions: Incisions are usually made from inside the mouth and do not leave any visible scars from the outside.

Supportive Devices: Following surgery, supportive devices or chin bandages are used to support the jaw.
