Those Who Have Chin Aesthetics

 The chin is an important connection point between the face and neck. It is important not only for aesthetic appearance but also for the realization of oral functions. The proportional harmony tried to be achieved in the nose area is also valid for the chin. Nose and chin are two important points for facial profile formation.

Jaw aesthetics (Orthognathic surgery) is a procedure performed to eliminate the disorders caused by tooth alignment. The most important reason in jaw aesthetics; dental structure disorder, full opening and closing of the mouth area and involving the entire jaw.

Conditions that affect the development of the entire jaw; There may be micrognathia, retrognathia, prognathism.

Micrognathia: It is the formation of a small jaw. It may occur due to the pause of growth and development in the lower jaw bone.

Retrognathia: Refers to the lower jaw structure, where there is no change in the dimensions of the posterior.

Prognathism: It covers the situations where the lower jaw is more prominent than the upper jaw. There is a malfunction in the entire chin, not the tip of the chin.

​How Is Chin Aesthetics Performed?

Procedures such as jaw surgery, jaw filing, jaw prosthesis surgery, jaw fat injection surgery can also be performed. 

Jaw prosthesis surgeries; It is suitable for patients with small jaw structure who want permanent and good shaping. Jaw prostheses are usually attached to the lateral areas extending to the chin tip or jaw corners. Jaw prostheses are mounted to the jawbone with the help of incisions made inside the mouth.

Jaw aesthetic surgeries can be applied to retract or move the chin forward. In jaw augmentation procedures, where the use of prosthesis is insufficient, the jaw can be moved forward with surgical procedures. In order to move the jaw forward, the lower part is taken forward by cutting the jaw bone and the process is performed by screwing.

The most important point to be evaluated in the process of jaw retrieval is the harmony of the lower teeth and upper teeth. If the jaw structure is normal, the jaw tip is slightly rasped. In jaw structures that require larger operations, the tip of the jaw is cut and removed by surgical procedures.

If the lower teeth are further than the upper teeth, the bone structure must be taken back together with the teeth. It is an operation that should be implemented and planned with an orthodontist.

​After Chin Aesthetics

The healing process after jaw aesthetic surgeries varies according to the operation performed. Recovery is faster after jaw prosthesis, fat injection, jaw forward or backward removal. For swelling that will occur in the chin area, the chin bandage should be used for 2-3 days. Oral care is extremely important because jaw operations are performed with incisions made through the mouth. You can return to work life after the first 1 week. The healing process is longer in jaw aesthetic surgeries where corrections are made for bone and dental structures.
