When the face is viewed from the side profile and front profile, whether the chin is behind or in front, wide or narrow affects the appearance of the face. The harmony of the forehead, nose, radix, lips, nose-lip distance and chin are important. While the new chin is being designed, all these ratios are taken into account, calculations and drawings are made and the new chin is compatible with the face. A chin that is compatible with the face will change the expression of the person and make his face look younger.

The doctor first listens to the patient's expectations and complaints. For your expectations; Your needs are determined by looking at your age, gender, facial features, nose lip distance, forehead and chin ratio, and the structure of your chin, and a chin that is compatible with your face is designed. With photographs and simulations, the harmony of your new chin with your face is shown and it is ensured that it is understandable for you. If the chin is small and behind, chin augmentation is planned. This augmentation can be with fat injection or chin implant, or sometimes hybrid chin augmentation can be planned, in which the implant and fat are applied to different subcutaneous planes. If the jaw is large, wide or anterior, ultrasonic jawbone narrowing, reduction or rasping can be planned. A detailed physical examination is essential so that patients with jaw deformity who require orthognathic surgery are not mistakenly referred to jaw reduction and augmentation surgeries. Local anesthesia or sedation anesthesia may be preferred for procedures that require small touches. Generally, general anesthesia is preferred in operations.

Before the operation, you should have the tests and techniques requested from you. If you have a drug that you use regularly, you should inform your doctor. One week before the surgery, you should stop taking blood thinners by consulting your doctor as they will increase your wound bleeding. Reducing salt consumption will reduce edema formation. Smoking slows down the rate of wound and tissue healing. Quitting and reducing smoking 5 weeks ago will benefit the patient.

If it is planned with local anesthesia: You should stop using blood thinners after consulting your doctor. Reducing salt consumption a few days beforehand will reduce edema formation. No fasting preparation is required before the operation. If there is a cleansing of the face, it will be sufficient to remove the make-up thoroughly and wash it cleanly.

On the morning of the operation, you will settle into your pre-allocated room and rest. At this time, your final preparations for the operation are carried out. Your doctor and his assistant will visit you before the operation. With the administration of the anesthesia planned for your operation, your doctor begins to make changes for you. At the end of the operation, your dressings are made. If your operation was performed with local anesthesia, you will be taken to your room. If your operation was performed with general anesthesia, you will be slowly awakened and taken to your room. Your surgery takes an average of 1 hour.

Since your operation is performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia, you will not feel any pain. Afterwards, you can use mild pain relievers to make your first few days more comfortable. We recommend that you drink a light and smooth warm soup 3-4 hours after the operation and gargle afterwards. In the first few days after the operation, a slightly warm liquid should be fed. Gargles should be done as directed. Apply cold as directed by your doctor and in the amount. After the operation, the patient can be accommodated in the hospital for 1 night or discharged on the same day, depending on his condition. The sutures in the mouth are of the melting type. No need for stitches to be removed. It is normal to have mild swelling and edema. In 5-7 days, the swelling will go down and your chin will start to take its new shape. After an average of 1 week, you can start enjoying your face. Bed rest is not required after surgery. As you feel better, you can take a walk and sunbathe with your chin in the shade.

You can continue your daily life by avoiding heavy exercises. Approximately 1-2 months after the operation, your chin will begin to take its final shape. Your new chin, which is compatible with your face, will accompany you with pleasure. After 4-6 weeks, you can return to your normal life completely.

A silicone implant can be placed on the chin. A small incision is made in the mouth by choosing the shape and size of the implants that are most compatible with the face, the implant is placed and the incision site is closed. Fat can be injected into the chin tip. Fats taken from the unwanted parts of the body (abdomen, inner thighs, hips, bagels or buttocks) are collected in a closed and sterile environment and purified by undergoing special processes. It is then transferred to the chin by being put into a suitable form with a sterile injector. There are plenty of stem cells in the transferred fat, so it will increase the tissue quality, vitality and volume in the area where it is transferred. 50-60% of these fats will remain in the body and some will melt.

In cases where the chin is far in front of the face compared to its normal dimensions, this surgery is performed to ensure that the chin gains a form compatible with the face. A small incision is made in the mouth and the excess part of the jaw is filed or the bone is cut and shaped with ultrasonic devices. The scar is not visible from the outside, the scar is inside the mouth and becomes indistinct over time. It is performed with general anesthesia. After about 1-2 hours of surgery, you will have a chin that is compatible with your face.
