Chin augmentation (mentoplasty) enhances the size and projection of the chin to create better facial balance and a more defined profile. It can be achieved with silicone implants or through sliding genioplasty, where the chin bone is repositioned.
Turkey offers chin augmentation surgery from experienced maxillofacial and plastic surgeons at significantly lower prices than Western Europe. The procedure is commonly combined with rhinoplasty for optimal facial harmony.
The procedure takes 30-60 minutes under local or general anesthesia. The incision is made either inside the mouth or under the chin, leaving no visible scar. Recovery is relatively quick, with most patients returning to work within 7-10 days.
