The chin is an important area of the face and a person can apply this aesthetic operation to beautify the face and make the jaw lines more prominent. A chin implant is a frequently applied aesthetic surgery.

Stronger jaw lines have been sought lately, as a strong and natural jawline looks beautiful and attractive in men and women. A strong jawline makes the face look more masculine, while a less pronounced jawline looks more feminine. Sometimes women with a weak chin line want a more balanced and prominent chin. Many female celebrities and models have strong and defined jawlines.

If you suffer from an indistinct and weak jawline or feel disproportionate in your facial features, chin implant surgery can help improve your appearance. Specifically, with the chin implant:

• You can get a better appearance and face harmony by proportioning your chin to your other face shapes.
• Weak or misshapen jaw lines can be corrected
• The appearance of the neck and jawline can be improved
• The appearance of a double chin caused by a small jawbone can be reduced

The chin implant improves the appearance of the neck and jawline. An implant is placed around the existing jawbone to enlarge the size and shape of the jaw and achieve a natural balance.

• During your chin implant procedure, small incisions are made either inside the mouth or under the chin. The type of chin implant chosen in your pre-operative examinations is placed in a small pocket directly in front of the jawbone during surgery. Depending on your specific needs, the chin implant of the size and shape best suited for you will be selected.
• Jaw implants made of non-carcinogenic surgical materials can be of various sizes and shapes. Depending on your face type, the chin implant can be carved out as needed to shape the chin implant to fit your chin shape. The special implant placed can also be selected according to your wishes.
• In chin implant surgery, the implant is usually fixed to the bone with a screw. The sutures placed in the mouth will dissolve on their own after about 2 weeks. If stitches are required under the chin, these stitches are removed after 1 week. Bands will be placed under the chin to minimize swelling. Doctors will recommend the most suitable chin implant technique and plan it together with you.
• A chin implant operation can take about an hour. The chin implant can be performed alone or in conjunction with other facial surgeries such as neck lift and facelifts, which are other facial beautification techniques.
