Chin Implant
The chin implant provides the development of the chin by supporting the weak chin appearance. The jaw tip is reshaped and the jaw is enlarged thanks to the jaw prosthesis placed right on the jawbone. Thanks to the chin tip aesthetics, the disproportion on your face is balanced.This surgery can also be combined with rhinoplasty surgery, because the tip of the chin is one of the most important points in the profile, just like the tip of the nose. Thanks to the chin implant, the proportion between the chin, nose and face is equalized, and your face looks much more aesthetic when viewed from the profile.
Why is the Chin Implant Surgery performed?
The chin implant is preferred to make the structure, which is very important in the facial profile such as the tip of the chin, look more harmonious and proportional with the rest of the face. When you look at your face in the mirror and if you see that your chin tip is further back than your nose tip, you are a suitable candidate for a chin implant. In chin implant surgery, you can ensure the proportion between the nose, chin and face, thanks to the implant placed on the chin tip. At the same time, the chin implant also eliminates the jowl problem in patients. After the surgery, there is a great improvement in the chin tip and rejuvenation in the jowl area.
How can I understand that there is a problem in my chin?
It's very easy to understand. In a picture taken from the full side, the tip of your chin should be 2-3 mm behind the tip of the lower lip.
Who is this for?
Jaw implant surgery is recommended for patients whose chin area is weak and protruding. The purpose of the chin prosthesis is to strengthen the weak chin structure. The chin implant is placed exactly on the jawbone. After the surgery, it is aimed to enlarge the chin.
How is the Chin Implant performed?
In chin implant surgery, different techniques can be performed depending on the patient's chin structure and where the chin implant will be inserted. Implants can be made in different sizes, shapes and materials according to the patient's jaw structure.
Chin Implant is mostly applied with implants in patients with normal tooth structure and jaw development. The chin is enlarged with an appropriate implant placed on the jawbone through an opening in the mouth or under the chin.
Chin implant surgery can be done through the mouth or through an opening under the chin. Implants are available in different sizes, shapes and materials.
The appropriate implant is selected according to the patient and the desired results. Stitches are usually dissolvable and are not removed afterwards. The operation time is usually 30-45 minutes. Mild swelling may occur after surgery. Tapes are often used on the chin to keep the implant more stable.
Recovery Process After Chin Implant Surgery
You can be discharged the same day after the chin implant. Chin tip surgery is not a major surgery, it does not restrict your movements. It is normal to feel numbness only in your lip and chin after the surgery. Within a few days, the numbness in your chin will disappear, and a slight swelling and tingling in the chin area will remain. You can do your daily activities very comfortably with painkillers. In the first week, you should not bend your head too much. It is recommended that you clean your mouth with mouthwash after every meal to keep your seams clean.
