Chin augmentation in Turkey
A stronger profile and a cleaner jawline.
chin implant · genioplasty · mentoplasty
A small or receding chin makes the neck look fuller and the nose look larger. Chin augmentation, with a silicone implant or your own fat, brings the chin forward and improves the balance of the profile.
It is often combined with rhinoplasty or a neck lift, because the chin, nose and neck are judged together.

Who is it for?
People with a weak or receding chin, or who want a more defined jawline as part of a neck lift.
How the chin shapes the whole profile
The chin balances the nose and defines the neck. A receding chin can make the nose look larger and the neck softer, even in a slim person.
Profile photos help the surgeon at New City Clinic judge whether chin augmentation would improve your balance.
Implant sizes and shapes
Chin implants come in different sizes and shapes, from subtle forward projection to added width. The goal is harmony, not a prominent chin.
The surgeon chooses based on your face and discusses it with you before surgery.
Chin augmentation with a neck lift
Adding projection to the chin can sharpen the jawline after a neck lift. It is a common pairing for both men and women.
This is discussed at the consultation. More information is on the official website, newcityclinic.com.
Recovery
Swelling and tightness for one to two weeks; a soft diet for a few days if the incision is inside the mouth.
What you should know
- Swelling and numbness of the lower lip
- Infection or implant displacement
- Asymmetry
Every surgical procedure carries risk. Your surgeon will explain the risks that apply to you during the examination.
Your facelift in Istanbul, step by step
- Free assessment: send photos of your face (front, both sides, 45°) and a short health history. A plastic surgeon reviews them.
- Written plan and quote, usually within 24 hours, with the technique, the hospital and the number of days you need.
- Arrival in Istanbul: you are met at the airport and taken to your hotel. A coordinator stays with you throughout.
- Consultation and tests: face-to-face examination with the surgeon, blood tests and anaesthesia assessment. The plan is confirmed.
- Surgery day and one night in hospital, then back to the hotel for recovery with daily coordinator contact.
- Check-ups and stitch removal, then the surgeon clears you to fly. Follow-up continues by photo and video call.
Frequently asked questions
Implant or fat for the chin?
An implant gives a precise, permanent projection; fat is softer but less predictable. The surgeon advises after seeing your profile.
Can a chin implant be removed later?
Yes, implants can be removed or exchanged if necessary.
Will the chin implant feel hard?
It feels firm, like bone, once healed.
Is chin augmentation done for men?
Yes. A stronger chin is a common goal for male patients.
Can fat be used instead of an implant?
Yes, for a softer, smaller change. The surgeon explains the pros and cons.
