Chin Implant (Genioplasty)
Istanbul

“In aesthetics, the most important principle for me is trust and naturalness; I offer each patient a personalised, realistic and balanced plan.”

— Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın · Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery

A chin implant (genioplasty) projects a weak/receding chin with a silicone implant or by sliding the bone, creating a balanced profile and a sharp jaw-neck line. It is often combined with rhinoplasty to complete the profile.

What Is a Chin Implant and Who Is It For?

It is for people with a weak/receding chin (microgenia), a blunted jaw-neck line and profile imbalance. In those whose nose looks prominent, projecting the chin dramatically balances the profile.

An implant gives a fast, adjustable volume; if the skeletal discrepancy is large, a sliding genioplasty may be preferred. The right method is decided at examination.

Procedure and Recovery

It is done via an intraoral or submental approach. A soft diet and support tape are advised the first few days; swelling settles in 1–2 weeks. Most people return to daily life within days.

Istanbul stands out in aesthetic-surgery tourism with experienced plastic surgeons, accredited operating theatres and affordable pricing. All surgery is performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın.

Chin Implant (Genioplasty) — Frequently Asked Questions

An implant adds volume over the chin and is quick; a sliding genioplasty cuts and advances the bone and is preferred for large discrepancies. The right method is chosen for your profile.
Because the incision is usually inside the mouth, there is no external scar; with a submental approach a small hidden scar remains and fades over time.
Depending on scope, local anaesthesia/sedation or general anaesthesia is used; you feel no pain during surgery.
A soft diet and support tape are advised the first few days; swelling settles in 1–2 weeks. Most people return to daily life within days.
The implant is permanent; it can be removed or changed if desired. A sliding genioplasty result is also permanent.
Yes; when the chin and nose are planned together (profiloplasty), profile balance gives the best result and it is often preferred.
The new profile is noticed immediately; it can take 1–3 months for swelling to fully resolve and the tissue to settle.
You feel no pain during the procedure thanks to anaesthesia; post-operative tightness and mild soreness are easily controlled with painkillers.
Rarely, infection, implant shift, asymmetry and temporary sensory change are possible. Correct implant selection, an experienced team and fixation technique reduce the risks.
The method (implant/sliding), implant type, anaesthesia and any added procedure (e.g. nose) determine the cost. Send a profile photo for a transparent, all-inclusive quote.
