Chin Aesthetic
Chin augmentation is a cosmetic surgery that can help patients with a variety of issues related to the shape and size of their chin. In Turkish society, one in every four patients who have nose problems also experience chin problems. Chin implants or prosthesis can help patients with a receding or protruding chin. If the problem is less complicated and more cosmetic, chin enhancement fillers or fat transfer can be used. For more complex issues, a silicone or porous-bony material called Medpor can be placed on the chin through an intra-oral incision. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and patients usually experience a quick and comfortable recovery period.
Chin augmentation can be performed for both aesthetic and health-related reasons. A small or large chin, a protruding or receding chin, excessively pointy or square chin, and a crooked jaw structure can all be corrected through chin augmentation. The surgery is also beneficial for individuals with bite and chewing problems due to deformities in the maxilla or mandible. Chin augmentation can help patients achieve a more youthful and proportional appearance.
There are five different types of chin augmentation surgeries, and the patient’s specific needs will determine the best approach. Overall, chin augmentation is a safe and effective way to enhance facial features and improve oral health. Patients who undergo this surgery experience a significant change in their facial appearance and a boost in their confidence.
