Jawline Surgery

Jawline surgery is generally preferred in cases where the chin is small, and in this case, the chin is taken forward or the chin is shaped using silicone, titanium, medpor implants. In the small chin problem, the arched and crooked nose and the jowl, which is more prone to drooping, are among the complaints. In cases where the chin is too large for the face, the chin is taken back or the excess bone is removed with chin surgery; If the size of the excess area is small, only rasping is sufficient. Care should be taken to ensure that the patient does not have chewing problems.

Jawline surgery is usually performed to correct congenital or acquired abnormalities in the chin or facial structure. Before the operation, a detailed discussion between the patient and the surgeon is made and the objectives of the procedure are determined. During the interview, before the jaw surgery, the patient should inform the doctor about his/ her health status and be careful to explain conditions such as drug use, allergies, and chronic diseases. The surgical method to be applied is determined by demonstrating the relationship between the imaging methods before the chin rasp and the jawbone and other bones of the face.

During chin aesthetics, the chin or facial bone is shaped by cutting or adding attachments, and then the facial structure is corrected using plastic surgery techniques. After the chin aesthetic surgery performed under general anesthesia, the patient is discharged after staying in the hospital for a few days and continues the recovery process at home. In Turkey, Jawline aesthetic surgery prices vary between 10 thousand and 30 thousand TL in 2023, according to the location and shape of the operation area, and considering the clinic and doctor's expertise.

With the development of technology, there is an increase in demand for jawline rasping aesthetics, as operations for correcting deformities in the chin become easier. With jawline surgery, also called genioplasty surgeries, a more suitable chin structure is created by providing the percentage of the face.

The problem of the size and smallness of the entire lower jaw in some cases adversely affects the harmony between the teeth, causing problems in chewing. jawline surgery is performed under general anesthesia and is completed in about an hour.

Why is jawline aesthetic surgery performed?

For jawline aesthetic surgery, the person’s profile is viewed from the side, the nose, forehead and chin are compared within themselves, and if the chin is small, it is noticed that the nose appears larger than it is.

However, in this case, there are some changes related to biting in the mouth. Therefore, this jaw surgery is only performed on problematic jaws where the upper and lower teeth do not come into contact with each other. The second surgery is performed by cutting the front bone of the jaw and the jaw is moved forward without touching the teeth. Another operation, which is simpler than these two operations and has almost the same effect, is the jawline tip surgery, which has a chin implant. In this surgery, a pocket is opened at the end of the chin, at the back of the skin and in front of the jawbone, without touching the jawbone. Preferred prostheses made of silicone material are placed into this pocket, since it is generally easy to apply and is thought to be the healthiest in the long term.
