Chin Reduction: Achieve a Harmonious Facial Profile

Overview

Chin reduction surgery, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce and reshape the chin to create a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. This surgery involves removing or reshaping the bone to achieve the desired contour, improving the proportions of the face. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a high level of patient satisfaction.

Procedure Options

1. Reduction Genioplasty: Involves making an incision inside the mouth or under the chin to access and reduce the bone. The surgeon reshapes the chin by removing or contouring the bone to achieve a smaller, more proportionate chin.
2. Sliding Genioplasty: Involves repositioning the chin bone forward or backward to correct alignment issues. This technique can be combined with reduction genioplasty for optimal results.
3. Non-Surgical Chin Reduction: Uses injectable fillers to temporarily alter the shape and size of the chin. This option is suitable for minor adjustments and provides immediate results with no downtime.

Benefits:

• Creates a more balanced and harmonious facial profile
• Reduces the prominence of an overly large chin
• Enhances overall facial aesthetics and self-confidence
• Can be combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive results
• Long-lasting outcomes with proper care

Risks:

• Infection or bleeding
• Scarring, though typically minimal and well-hidden
• Changes in skin sensation or numbness
• Swelling and bruising
• Asymmetry or need for revision surgery

Our expert surgeons in Turkey use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, although complete healing may take several months.
• Pain Management: Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery and can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
• Post-Surgery Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding wound care, maintaining oral hygiene (if incisions are inside the mouth), and avoiding strenuous activities to promote healing.
• Follow-Up Care: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and ensure optimal results. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines for care and maintenance.
