Chin Aesthetics

Chin aesthetics is a surgical procedure to change the shape of the chin and facial lines. This aesthetic procedure can be performed for reasons such as irregular jaw and facial lines, congenital dislocation of the chin or incompatibility with the body.

Who Can Have Chin Aesthetics?

Chin aesthetics is suitable for adults whose facial bones have completed their development. The surgeon examines the patient’s profile and observes how the chin should be. Thus, the face and chin become more harmonious and aesthetic.

How is Chin Aesthetics Performed?

The steps of chin aesthetics consist of the following:

Anesthesia

The doctor will administer anesthesia before the operation. Anesthesia prevents aches and pains that may occur during surgery.

Procedure

The doctor starts the procedure by making the incision necessary for the chin and face to become aesthetic. This incision is usually made on the chin or at the corner of the mouth. At this stage, the specialist corrects the shape of the chin and joins the incision sites properly.

After this stage, the surgeon sutures the incision sites and this process ensures that the shape of the chin and face becomes permanent. At the last stage, the doctor ends the procedure by applying a bandage to the problematic area.

What Should Be Considered After Chin Aesthetics?

The things to be considered after chin aesthetics are as follows:

Eating and drinking is prohibited for 2-3 hours after the procedure.

For 7 to 10 days, food should not be eaten with the operated area and hard objects should be avoided. In this process, it is necessary to eat as recommended by the surgeon.

There may be minimal aches and pains for the first few days after the procedure. The specialist will recommend medication for this.

It is extremely normal to have swelling. Swelling after chin aesthetics will disappear spontaneously within 1-2 weeks on average.

Smoking should not be smoked for 14 days after the operation. Otherwise, the healing process will be prolonged.

Heavy exercises or activities are not recommended for the first 10 days after the procedure.

Oral care should be done as recommended by the doctor.
