Jaw and facial bone surgery includes correcting a receding or prominent chin (genioplasty), contouring the jaw angle and cheekbones, repairing facial fractures and correcting skeletal asymmetry. Incisions are mostly inside the mouth. Bite problems need combined planning with orthodontics. Assessment takes place at the practice in Çukurambar, Ankara.
When is it considered?
A receding chin, jaw asymmetry, deformity after facial fractures, flat cheekbones and congenital differences are the usual reasons. In rhinoplasty patients chin position is also assessed, as a weak chin can make the nose look larger.
Options
- Genioplasty: moving the chin bone forward, back, up or down.
- Chin and cheek implants: contour support in suitable patients.
- Jaw angle contouring.
- Facial fractures: repair with plates and screws.
- Orthognathic surgery: planned with orthodontists when the bite is affected.
Surgery and recovery
Performed under general anaesthesia, usually through the mouth. Swelling and bruising peak in the first days; a soft diet and oral hygiene are needed. The final contour settles over a few months.
Risks
Infection, bleeding, temporary or permanent lip and chin numbness, asymmetry, implant displacement and revision.
Frequently asked questions
Can chin surgery be combined with rhinoplasty?
Yes, in suitable patients, so that the profile is balanced in one plan.
Implant or bone movement?
It depends on bone structure and the amount and direction of change needed.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are usually inside the mouth, so no external scar remains.
