Chin aesthetics; It is the name given to the surgical procedure performed to change the appearance of the chin and to make it more compatible with the rest of the face. Mentoplasty can be performed by placing an implant in the patient to correct a weak jaw, enlarging a small or pulled jaw, or by moving and advancing a part of the patient's own chin. In patients with very small jaws, the body's own tissue can be used to add to the chin, and for this, its own bone, usually from the hip, can be used. Mentoplasty can also be done by removing a piece of bone to shrink an excessively prominent jaw that distorts the protruding general appearance. If an implant is required for the chin, the physician begins with a small incision under the chin or through the mouth. Your doctor will be informed about the planned incision site before surgery. The implant is placed in front of the chin, deep into the soft tissues. In patients with small jaws, an implant can be placed or a part taken from another part of the body can be placed in this area. In the same way, if it is pulled back or in very long jaws, shape correction is applied by rasping or moving. The chin tip and the tip of the nose are the two most important structures that make up the face profile, and should be proportional and compatible with the other parts of the face. . Chin tip aesthetics are performed on patients with normal mouth closure and tooth alignment. This operation is simple and safe, as well as an easy procedure that provides serious improvement and rejuvenation in facial aesthetics. The process in jaw aesthetics starts with a pre-examination with the surgeon. During this preliminary examination, the surgeon analyzes the individuals face and tries to have an idea about their anatomy. In this process, your expectations are also important. Jaw aesthetics can be performed under local anesthesia or under general anesthesia. All these are part of the preparation by the doctors before the surgery. These aesthetic procedures, which we can also call as chin surgery, are performed by plastic surgeons. Procedures such as chin rasping and chin length rasping are performed in operating rooms and performed by surgeons.
In jaw aesthetic applications performed with surgery, it becomes possible to expand or lengthen small jaws with a chin implant.After the operation; The pain that may occur is controlled with medication. The feeling of tension in the jaw seen in the patients decreases within weeks. There may be edema and bruising. Edema reaches its maximum in the 1st week after surgery and then begins to decrease. Bandage is applied to the chin for 2 or 3 days after the operation. The stitches used are removed within 5 or 7 days after the operation or they dissolve spontaneously. If implants are to be used during surgery, small incisions are made where these implants will be placed, and if not, all applications specific to the procedure are processed in turn. In the first 24 hours, blood may leak from the places where the incision was made in the mouth. There will be swelling and bruises on the face and cheeks. Sometimes these swelling and bruises may be too much, depending on the procedures performed in the surgery and the characteristics of the patient. The patient's teeth have supports and / or wires and mostly plastic splints. These tools serve to hold the teeth and jaw motionless, set them correctly, and protect the surgical site to allow the patient to recover.We applied in Angelus Aesthetica center; You can contact us for chin aesthetics (mentoplasty), which is a plastic surgery of the jaw that can cause an individual to look more or less attractive, and to make it compatible with the face.
