Chin Surgery

Chin Aesthetic (Genioplasty)

Chin surgery helps to obtain a balanced appearance in profile by arranging the proportions of the lower face. Op. Dr. Saffet Ulutaş plans genioplasty operations personally to correct improper projection of the chin tip, balance the width, or eliminate asymmetries. In the first examination, dental structure, chewing function, jaw joint health, and lip closure are evaluated; if necessary, multidisciplinary work is carried out with orthodontists.

During genioplasty, the chin tip bone is controlledly cut and repositioned forward, backward, down, or up. Precise measurements are made during this procedure, and the new position is fixed using titanium plates. In some cases, the contour is further sharpened with implant or fat injection support. Op. Dr. Ulutaş aims for results suitable for the person by paying attention to the feminine or masculine lines of the lower face in facial aesthetics.

The post-operative period is kept under control with nutrition plans and special bandages that support soft tissue healing. Medication support is given for pains that limit chin movements; manual lymph drainage and cold applications are recommended for swelling to decrease. While it is possible to return to daily life within 1-2 weeks on average, the final contour settles within 3-4 months.

Chin surgery not only beautifies the profile; the sharpness of the jawline reduces the impression of sagging in the neck area and balances the visibility of the tooth structure. Total facial aesthetics are strengthened with combined procedures such as jawline filling or neck lift. Dr. Saffet Ulutaş shares probable results with his patients with 3D planning tools before surgery, so surprises after surgery are minimized.
